April 6, 2024 - Retired judge says statute cited in Trump's motion raises concerns on judge in hush money case
The Republicans finally learned that weaponising legal plays for political purposes will always come back to bite you in the ar$e.It's funny because it is Trump who is the target, what's not so funny is it just shows how easy it is to cripple someone through the U.S legal system, a half a billion cash surriety in 30 days is bizarre.
But the good thing is the precedent has been set, so no doubt it will be used to weaponise the U.S legal system in future Presidential elections, "all hail the Republic".
@mullokintyre There is a saying that I really like "as thick as two short planks". Fits politics pretty well i feel/The Republicans finally learned that weaponising legal plays for political purposes will always come back to bite you in the ar$e.
Trying to impeach Clinton was always going to come back to them in spades, and so it happened.
The Democrats are equally short sighted in trying to use the legal system for political purposes, the various partisan legal manoeuvres indulged in by Democrats at both state and federal level will be turned against them at some point in the future.

The protester spoke with a New York Times reporter on Thursday
At the park on Thursday, Mr. Azzarello had held up various signs and at one point shouted toward a group of reporters gathered there: “Biggest scoop of your life or your money back!” One of his signs claimed that Mr. Trump and President Biden were “about to fascist coup us.”
In an interview that day, he said his critical views of the American government were shaped by his research into Peter Thiel, the technology billionaire and political provocateur who is a major campaign donor, and into cryptocurrency.
Mr. Azzarello said he had planned to protest at Washington Square Park near New York University but thought that with the cold weather, more people would be outside the courthouse.
“Trump’s in on it,” Mr. Azzarello said on Thursday. “It’s a secret kleptocracy, and it can only lead to an apocalyptic fascist coup.” …
Some of the pamphlets [Azzarello threw in the air before setting himself ablaze on Friday] referred to New York University as a “mob front” and also mentioned former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Al Gore and the lawyer David Boies, who represented Mr. Gore in the 2000 presidential election recount. Another pamphlet contained anti-government conspiracy theories, though they did not point in a discernible political direction.
If that happens I will eat my hat.I was never convinced that Trump could pull of a win again. Looking at the Pennsylvania numbers and Nikki took a large number of votes despite dropping out months ago.
This is a swing state he needs to win. He may just need Nikki as the VP. The question will be if his ego can handle it.
