Gov Newsom admonished #SINO McCarthy. In response to Newsom's 28A tweet: "The 2A already exists—we don’t need a 28th. But what we do need is for Presidential aspirants to stop pushing their extreme positions nationally." Gov Newsom slammed the House speaker for “doing nothing to address” crime in his hometown of Bakersfield, CA. “Hey Kevin, What we need is you to own up to the fact that you represent a district with the highest murder rate in our state -& you’re doing nothing to address it."🚨

What are the odds Trump avoids conviction?

Here are the most recent stats --

Among federal criminal defendants in 2022:

294 WENT TO TRIAL AND WON

65,462 WERE CONVICTED AND SENTENCED

That's about a 99.6% conviction rate

The problem is that trump won't be put off or tuned down by this. He and his enablers will be out there encouraging violence and sedition against law enforcement and the country every day. Innocent people just doing their job and duty will likely die.

NOTE: All the people who are CERTAIN Trump is getting railroaded did not even wait to see the indictment

I could be wrong but I think Trump being caught on tape admitting he is committing a crime is a problem for his defense

Right-wing politicians and pundits can engage all the whataboutism they want on Twitter

It doesn’t fly in federal court

Ps, When prosecutors subpoenaed the document Trump bragged about—his lawyers said it couldn’t be “located in his possession”). 👀👀

Translation: Stay strong, Walt! There might even be some money in it for you. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to you, or to your WONDERFUL family.
Signed, your friend,
PRESIDENT Donald Trump.

@kbsez I thought I already replied to this, but just in case, that was never in doubt. There will be indictments. How can there not be? @demvoter @skykiss

Bicameral legislation would overhaul the judicial ethics system and restore faith in our federal courts

@QasimRashid I can't imagine a better argument for a socialized pharmaceutical industry.

"This is NOT “jailing opponents at will.”

Trump stole the documents in January 2021. They were first discovered missing in May 2021. It is now June 2023.

This was a methodical and if anything overly cautious investigation over TWO YEARS.

That’s due process. " - Tristan Snell, Lawyer, MSNBC Contributor

If Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, presides over his Florida trial it's like assigning the wolf to guard the henhouse. I'm sure that Trump's smirking at the prospect.
