DOJ PUSHES BACK on Trump's "delay delay delay" strategy - Talking Feds



The Special Counsel's office responded to a motion for Trump's lawyers to delay the classified documents case until after November, 2024. In Team Trump's motions, the attorneys cited their workload, access to classified evidence, and the location of their office as reasons necessitating a delay. The Special Counsel, however, responded that the issues Trump's attorneys named are exaggerated. - 10/10/2023.

2. He certainly has to know he's guilty, but he's managed to skate by for his entire life

So he thinks he's "above the law." It's long past time he got a wake up call, but for reasons that I don't understand he's still on the loose to commit even more crimes - and cause even more trouble.

3. And people are noticing this, that justice seems to be different for you and I, vs. him. Why?

Justice should be blind, should be the same for each of us, identical. Some of my friends say that it seems to take forever to get him charged, then appear in court, get the judgment if ever, and then serve the time. I've gotten tired of saying just wait, justice is coming.

Now I wonder, is it coming (justice)?

4. The violent insurrectionists who answered his call to come to the Capitol have already been charged

Tried, convicted and jailed long ago. Reality Winner who stole one classified document served 4 years in jail. Exactly how many did TFG steal and do we even know? And then we are learning even more, that he jeopardized national security by showing off and sharing them with others - and do we yet know exactly to whom?? Putin?? This offensive blowhard has put this country in danger and yet he's still allegedly running to lead the government he attempted to overthrow! How can that be??

5. Really. It is depressing sometimes, but I have to admit, I do think that one day, Justice will

come for this scumbag in particular. He's proven to me amply (and many others) that he clearly never was presidential material, and should never, ever, be in any elected office nor be allowed to be appointed to one.

6. What I try to keep remembering is that he lost the vote of the people both times

And he lost by more than twice as much in 2020 - and that was before he was indicted in four different jurisdictions and faced 91 criminal charges. Only the severely deluded would vote for that!
