Sidney Powell is another.

They'd better televise the trial. This was a crime against the public, we deserve to participate.

I don't think I've ever seen a public corruption case that's this overwhelming. There should be no chance Toad walks BUT all it takes is one.

If you don't care to read the cray cray - and I would completely understand, Toad is planning on sacrificing his previous (unpaid) lawyers.

It's going to whine about how all the evil lawyers LIED TO IT!!!!!

OH WOE IS TOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's hoping its skin will eventually march its outfit.

It will never happen but if wishes could come true, I would have Mr Trump banged up in the same cell as Mr Putin. They have so much in common they would get on like a house on fire.

It got overshadowed by the Trump indictment, but Michigan has been busy indicting the co-conspirators from their State.

https://www.npr.org/2023/08/01/1142599350/deperno-michigan-voting-machine-breach-charges

Matthew DePerno, who unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel in the 2022 election, has been charged with undue possession of a voting machine, willfully damaging a voting machine and conspiracy, according to the special prosecutor investigating the case.

DePerno, an attorney, had been endorsed in that 2022 contest by Trump, and he rose to prominence after pushing Trump's baseless claims about the 2020 election in Michigan court. DePerno then became a target of the probe into the alleged effort to unlawfully access voting machines.

Maybe it's just me**, but it seems that the Republicans complain most often about cheating when they're the ones most often cheating. Coincidence?

** Rhetorical comment

** Rhetorical comment

I equate it to when Christian cults anticipate something won't go their way and the pre-blame Satan for it... or professional wrestling fans, where if the wrestler didn't win, it was because the other side cheated.

There's a reason that Trump's following draws heavily on both of the above groups.

It is apparent though that the right does the vast majority of the intimidation, abuse of power, weaponizing of the government, graft, outright lying, and sedition and then accuses everyone else of it.

Biden was taking "bribes," that no one can find a trace of, but the Saudis gave Jared the Weasel how much money right out in the open?

It's like the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidence. The intent is the same, the morality is the same, but one way is illegal and the other way of doing the same thing is not illegal, so long as you are rich.

The rich paid a lot of money to have it so. This was the original purpose of stuffing the court with the venal and the corrupt.

Well, unless you have a CFO like Allen Weisselberg.

Campaign donations in the U.S. are not tax-deductible. Are they deductible in Canada?
