First we need to see what Cannon does with it. She could exclude critical evidence, dismiss the case -- or even rule a directed verdict which would preclude a retrial.
With her attached, it's harder to think justice has much of a shot
@BrazenlyLiberal @BrianHjelleVirologist
Respectfully disagree. Jack Smith knew exactly what he was doing moving the case to FL.
It’s high stakes chess.
@LnzyHou @BrianHjelleVirologist
Agreed, but he lost control once he turned it over. Then came Cannon. She has judicial authority that will allow her to drag it on past election day - exactly what Trump wants/needs to stretch the grift as far as possible.
Look, I really do hope you're right. It certainly wouldn't be the first time I was wrong! I'm just feeling particularly pessimistic this morning.
@BrazenlyLiberal @BrianHjelleVirologist
We balance out. I’m feeling particularly optimistic. I listen to many legal analysts who say Jack Smith knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.
Smith trying to control possible civil war is part of their decision-making. Smith plays chess while #GQP is playing checkers.
Keep breathing

@sloudermilk @LnzyHou @BrazenlyLiberal @BrianHjelleVirologist a president can't self pardon.
if that was possible, nixon would have done it instead of resigning
@Darkenyght1701 @sloudermilk @LnzyHou @BrianHjelleVirologist
That is, as yet, unexplored territory.
Nixon resigned before he could be charged.
@BrazenlyLiberal @sloudermilk @LnzyHou @BrianHjelleVirologist but he knew to a certainty that was the direction Congress was headed in
And he still chose to resign rather than try it & damage the country further
@Darkenyght1701 @sloudermilk @LnzyHou @BrianHjelleVirologist
Yep. Even Nixon had more integrity - significantly more - than TFG.
