Too late to remand it back to the GJ, for a new determination of probable cause, correct? Although this judge seems like he is so offended by the level of incompetence shown in obtaining the indictment that he will probably straight up dismiss it.

I really think the statements to the effect of "Go ahead & indict him 'cause we have lots of evidence he's guilty we aren't sharing w/ you" renders the presentation "less than fair & impartial" & shows the prosc "controlling the outcome of the proceedings" which under the caselaw gets it kicked.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

In general, I think that every reporter should start their question with “Mr. President, I know that you won’t like this question, and when you don’t like a question you try to bully reporters and call them names, but to do my job I need to ask you…” But calling a woman piggy makes my blood boil.

Absolutely what I have been saying. No prosecutor would want to risk her winning her appeal, getting a new trial and then being able to file a motion to dismiss on the basis that she can’t get a fair trial because of the info that was released. Not realistic, but it’s done that way in every case.

We were surprised she was making the argument as well.

(There isn't any other evidence - the judge dismissed the case because my client didn't do what he was charged with). 3 wks ago my co-counsel & I were laughing at the argument that you can't dismiss a case because maybe something exists that you didn't have when you charged it. Funny world. 4/4

Weirdly, I have an issue like this right now - I have a BS case a judge dismissed. The prosecutor appealed, & her argument is that it can't be dismissed before trial because there could be more evidence against my client that they didn't have when they charged the case (and still don't have). 3/4

In state court you get a copy of the transcript either automatically, or if you ask. In federal court you ask the judge to review it & produce it to you. Typically judges don't find any issues and say no. Unusual to have it produced, but it happens from time to time. 2/4

I'm a lawyer. There's a transcript typed up of everything said in front of a grand jury, & if it's not a fair & accurate presentation of the evidence you ask a judge to send it back for a do over or to dismiss the case (had a case sent back to the gj because of false stmts by a cop last Friday) 1/4

Also, I heard from a very well placed source that it was a hoax.

I guess they paid cash for the houses they bought? ‘Cause I don’t think the banks financed 30M houses for day laborers. Which, I guess, is more lucrative than I thought.

I’m sure the insurance companies will do so much negotiating and give so much better insurance for less $. So realistic.

Pretty much my take as well.

‘Cause the “money sucking insurance companies” will give people much better care for less money when they aren’t limited on how much they can charge. Makes total sense.

A basic difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats won’t let people starve.
Clearly, the Republicans don’t give a shit .

Yeah. You can see why he's pumping the autopen as a reason Biden's pardons are invalid. Trump has done so much research on the people he pardons and is so on top of even the minute details.

If you're attending the seminar come by Saturday morning. We'll have a good time and learn a lot. (The picture is from one of the times I spoke on day one of the conference to the whole group, about 400 attendees. The sessions I am teaching Saturday will be to a much smaller group). 2/2
