1. Not how that works.

[Lovie777]

2. maybe.....

[SheltieLover]

3. I would certainly hope so!

[Ocelot II]

4. No.

If he did violate the Espionage Act he apparently did so at the very end of his presidency or after it. His appointments were made while he was president, and as such were valid (if bad and stupid) and can’t be undone after the fact.

9. Or, at the beginning. Hint: Russians in the oval.

[Ocelot II]

12. Nevertheless he was the president when he made the appointments

and they remain valid regardless whether TFG is eventually convicted of a crime.

5. Paging Bad Legal Takes....

15. No shit.

17. Looks like she deleted an earlier Tweet

Replacing “will” with “should”. So at least it’s improving…

[Ocelot II]

20. Someone probably set her straight about how it actually works.

6. Unfortunately "should" has little weight

And, no, the SCOTUS appointments will not be “automatically” removed. But so much scrubbing - from top to bottom - will be needed to remove the stench from tfg, it will take a generation to achieve.

7. No wishes do not make it so.

11. Exactly. There's an awful lot of misunderstanding about how our legal system works

and some unfortunate dabbling with authoritarian ideas.

18. Well if you think legit means lied to get then yea theyre legit 🤣

[brooklynite]

21. Lying is not a legal obstacle to election.

10. I wish!

[onenote]

13. Is there a particular reason for posting something this stupid here?

14. .

16. The cost of due process is the damage done while the wheels of justice turn slowly

[RANDYWILDMAN]

19. 50 repub douche bags say NO

My apology to douche bags !

All the Crap Trump pulled that benefited McConnell and his gangsters was all bonus cause no matter how shitty it was, we as a country can't undo any of it and Mitch loves that.

[Polybius]

23. A huge amount of Democrats say no too

They won't be impeached.

[Polybius]

22. "Should be" means nothing

They won't be, nor could they be without impeachment and removal (67 votes).

[Celerity]

24. it doesn't work that way nt
