TheĀ MAGA-friendlyĀ federal judge whoĀ keeps sidingĀ withĀ Donald TrumpĀ in his Mar-a-Lago classified records case has forced prosecutors to make a stark choice: allow jurors to see a huge trove of national secrets or let him go.
U.S. District JudgeĀ Aileen M. Cannonāsultimatum Monday night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors and Trumpās lawyers for proposed jury instructions at the upcoming trial.
But asĀ sheĀ hasĀ done repeatedly, Cannon used this otherwise innocuous legal step as yet another way to swing the case wildly in favor of the man who appointed her while he was president.
Department of Justice Special CounselĀ Jack SmithĀ must now choose whether to allow jurors at the upcoming criminal trial to peruse the many classified records found at the former presidentās South Florida mansion or give jurors instructions that would effectively order them to acquit him.
Joe Biden was never the candidate who was going to go tough on fascism. In fact only the most stalwart of the progressives would do that.
Also Democrats raised more money during Trumps candidacy and term in office than ever before. Hes a great monster under the bed they can point to. Its the same reason Republicans will never fix the border, even when they have a majority, they need those issues to exist so they can manufacture Fear Uncertainty and Doubt, and use it to keep the power they have.
Biden ran for president like six times and when he won was when his opponent was a literal fascist. Itās factually correct to say that the threat of Trump allows the DNC to run candidates that would otherwise lose elections. I also suspect when Democrats say things like āwe have to beat Trump at the ballot boxā itās because they know if Trump was locked up and Haley got the nomination, Biden would have a much lower chance of winning.
Biden would wipe the floor with Haley.
Heās still not beating Trump in swing states, and thatās with the anti Trump Republicans on his side, you live in a fantasy world if you dont realize Biden loses all the center right support he has to Haley if sheās in the general.
