Goodbye, independent DOJ. It was nice knowing you and daydreaming about working there someday.
I just can't accept the fact that these people, including the FREAKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, tried to overturn a free and fair election.
And got away with it.
It's beyond outrageous, it's absolutely disgusting. What a stain in the historical record.

FFS. I had a really bad feeling about this when he took over. Turns out I had a good reason to feel that way.

The British government is considering getting rid of jury trials in England and Wales except for the most serious cases. I think this is a very BAD idea.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

Quite telling that Miller assumes the judge is male (“himself”). Or he read Kyle’s use of “she” but decided to amend it because women can’t be judges in his feeble mind.
This is Judge Jia Cobb.

Am I going mad, or should Judge Nachmanoff review the declination memo in camera? Because surely there’s a chance it could contain Brady material?
DOJ is refusing to confirm or deny that the memo exists (come on. It exists). Blanche’s office told them to refuse to answer any questions about it.

Ah. Slight problem..😂
Via CNN: In a shocking back & forth, prosecutors said that instead of presenting a new indictment to the grand jury after it declined to approve one of the counts, Halligan simply brought an altered version to the magistrate’s courtroom for the grand jury’s foreperson to sign.
