to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints
My man standing up on the desk, pulling down his pants, shitting all over the place, then waddling out with his pants around his ankles and the judge turns to the bailiff saying “No no no, let him do his thing, I don’t want to risk a mistrial”.
He has zero room for complaints.
He’s been indicted 91 times since he left office and we’ve yet to see any of them resolve into some kind of legal punishment. Everything is supposedly coming to a head between March and May of this year, but… In the middle of a heated election season, I’m not holding my breath on that shit getting deferred or extended or whatever.
And then if he makes it to November and wins (hardly unlikely, given the direction of the current polling) he’s back to being Unitary Executive and immune to prosecution. And then we’ll get four more years. And if the country doesn’t collapse on itself after that, we get to restart the whole process and hope another four years of pretending to indict a former President now pushing into his mid-80s will mean anything.
Guy is going to die of poor health long before he sees the inside of a jail cell. The US justice system simply is not built to punish people like him.
I mean he was the President. As much as I hate the guy and think he is an awful leader he still has privilege above ours. Life has politics EVERYWHERE. His boss. His family. His community. There are certain things this judge has to balance in every decision.
I don’t know the judge or the details of the case. But you ask why he is hauled off? Because MOST white old guys that fuck up are just slapped on the wrist, pay a fine, and do community service unless he actually was violent. Did he perpetuate violence? Absolutely. Has that been proven in a court yet? No. It’s not so black and white.
In this case, to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints that the judge was biased against him.
And guess what? He has zero room for complaints. The judge has handled this pretty much perfectly.

Yeah I think this is a case of “go ahead cry, you lost, game over”
