We used to refer to it as fast tracking cases in California. It’s just a mechanism to run cases of priority public interest through the court system faster than the normal schedule. I’m not familiar with Florida’s, but we could move cases quick when we needed to in California.
I wonder how many others are going to be indicted on this mar a lago case. If trump is charged with conspiracy to obstruct, there should be charges on those with which he conspired. Yes?
Poor ms post. I bet she never thought this sort of thing would happen in her house.
Only thing I know is that Inna and I were @ a restaurant when the Trump indictment came though, @ a restaurant when the Carroll case was decided, and just decided on eating out when this happened.
Yes, at least one other, and each co-conspirator need not have engaged in every criminal act of the conspiracy. So, A and B did X; B and C did Y; A and D did Z; but A, B, C, and D are all co-conspirators.
Almost everyone is wrong here sometimes, but not everyone admits it
A promise to pardon would only last until the day a Republican other than DJT was nominated. Nixon was pardoned before DeSantis was born, but his aides must all know how it went for Jerry Ford.
I suppose that if Biden is re-elected, and Trump put in prison a few years from now, and DeSantis takes the White House, in 2029, and Trump is then dying from cancer, Ron would let him spend his last few months at home. But every stipulation in the last sentence, except maybe for DeSantis being president in 2029, is unlikely.
Hypothetical: he’s found guilty and files an appeal. Won’t he be in jail until the appeal is heard? That’s the way it usually is, as I understand it. (To be fair, that’s from movies and a few really high profile cases that have penetrated my consciousness, but they go to jail yelling “I will appeal!”.
I’m pretty gleeful. I really don’t care about the politics. I want that lying, raping, traitor, to face consequences for his actions. I want to see him to face these consequences for all the garbage he’s pulled and gotten away with for years.
I’m gleeful about this … hell I’m giddy about it, but I especially want to see him indicted for January 6th. (I guess this is where politics does come in but for me it’s more about ethics and morals.) This country needs to reign back the bullies, haters, and authoritarians. Putting his evil butt in jail is just the first step in the long march back to some sort of normality. Then perhaps this country can start progressing again instead of sliding into the stone age. Faint hope, but there always has to be hope.
Ooops, I probably shouldn’t bring up other investigations. Please consider me reminded.
Additionally, each indictment just makes the next ones easier to bring. It’s not such a big leap to indict him in Georgia - he’s already under state indictment. It’s not such a big leap to indict him for January 6 - he’s already under federal indictment.
And the more the indictments roll up, the closer we get to some tangible measure of Justice.
A perp walk.
House arrest.
The burgeoning stress and despair.
