It just shows the depths of the fucking stupidity these people possess. I can think of few places in the world more outfitted with openly displayed surveillance equipment than the the US Capitol building and this motherfucker didn’t even think about the likelihood that he was on tape?
How much money would you bet that charges are actually brought against Loudermilk? Anything over $10?
Think of the damage it would do to our institutions if powerful people were punished for attempting a coup
I am continually amazed when this shit comes out that these ghouls are doing all of this for DONALD FUCKING TRUMP. A fucking walking punch line of a man and we have wives of justices plotting coups actively on his behalf. What is the fucking point of this country anymore?
He was just the test case for how open they could be with bigotry and fraud without facing any kind of repercussions. That's why it's not gonna get any better when he mercifully goes to that big drive through in the sky
I'm sure one of the lawyers here could enlighten me, what actual power does the committee have in terms of recommending criminal charges to the AG? Would it be fairly unprecedented if they recommended charges against even some lower-level Trump admin dipshits and the AG would actually go after them? Does any of this shit actually matter beyond showing more evidence of what any non-dipshit already knows about?
A criminal referral has no legal import. DOJ still has to make its own assessment that 1) the evidence warrants bringing charges and 2) they want to bring charges. So basically, it’s just a tool to apply public pressure.
Lol rule in his favor in which of the (at least) 63 lawsuits that Trump & Co brought to and were laughed out of court?
You're right. None of the made up fraud in '20 would have been upheld. I was thinking about what her texts with some of these people must look like. Also, I'm sure she and Clarence will have some conversations when an election case comes up in '24. Like can a state overturn the rightful electors.
When they ask about conversations with her husband, can she claim spousal privilege instead of the 5th? Not sure if the former would apply here or if one defense takes precedent over the other.
I'm most curious about the Clarence piece. Maybe it won't matter in the end, but the 5th definitely has a different feel than spousal privilege
This reminds me of myself in HS when I didnt read the book and just tried to bullshit my way through the presentation.
The judge witness is just giving a nonsensical meandering answer and doing it very slowly and with odd inflection.
