Wow... random. The most important trial of this century... and it goes to a judge that clearly favored trump and in the process embarrassed herself.
...well now maybe all the fuss about unfairness and banana republics and the Biden Crime Family skating on their malfeasance can die down a bit. ...no way the Clintons or the Deep State signed off on "Her Honorable Judge Special Master" presiding over this mess... ...not when the libs and the wokies and the commies have finally got the Donald by the short hairs. ...er... ...or whatever those things are on top of his head...

Thread Title: When you cross-reference the dates of the documents in the indictment with coverage of the Trump administration, a picture emerges that should be chilling to any freedom loving American. Conclusion: Trump might have kept damning classified documents that refuted the self serving BS he was peddling at the time. Trump did not want these documents to be part of the final historical record.
So can we stop saying, "Half the country thinks this is all political?" Tired of hearing about "half the country supports this guy"...they don't. A solid 1/3 do, no matter what he does ever.
Its a bit off-topic, but I take it seriously. She definitely should not be lying to Congress about potential conflicts of interest. However, per this Fox article, she did in fact divest of stocks that might cause conflicts with the remit of her position and when she told Congress she didn't hold individual stocks she should have said she didn't hold stocks that presented conflicts of interest. She has now sold those even though they didn't create a conflict of interest just to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Sounds like she's trying to observe the ethics. But, I am totally cool with prosecuting her if there was a material misrepresentation to Congress. The thing I most abhor in politics is official corruption, so happy to throw anyone to the wolves to make sure to stamp it out. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bi...granholm-admits-false-testimony-owning-stocks Wouldn't be surprised if she's disappointed to get it. Her last brush with this case wasn't good for her and she will no doubt be villified by one-half the country or another 1/3rd of the country no matter what she does.
It's less than that; Trump received 74.2M votes in 2020. The US' population is 331.9M. His base is, at best, 22% of the country. I'm tired of pretending that they're half of us. They're a stubborn, unreachable minority that lives in an alternate reality and they deserve to be reminded of that.
I believe the same poll also showed that nearly half believed the indictments were political. Both can be true.
