Yeah. But it'll really piss Trump off, which is a start.
The NY case may not need to be relitigated too much, but the House subpoena will. Which will take months, if not years.
I think you mean "persecution" Donald...“This is all a political prosecution. … I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York. Not fair to this Presidency or Administration! … Courts in the past have given ‘broad deference’. BUT NOT ME!”
when a show stoops so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt (when he has never looked like that at any point in his career) makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist group is here.username wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2019 1:11 amI'm sure you all love Morrissey, so have at this https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HemK_H2f9 ... hare_sheet if you haven't deja voo.
I think probably yes. But I also think Don Trump himself will be largely unscathed - it's his employees that end up in jail.Grumble wrote: ↑Mon Jun 28, 2021 5:26 amhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... SApp_Other
Are we about to see criminal charges against Trump Org?
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ attorneys shall each complete at least twelve (12) hours of continuing legal education in the subjects of pleading standards (at least six hours total) and election law (at least six hours total) within six months of this decision. Any courses must be offered by a non-partisan organization and must be paid for at counsel’s expense. Within six months of this decision, each attorney representing Plaintiffs shall file an affidavit in this case describing the content and length of the courses attended to satisfy this requirement.
I hope they feel suitably evisceratedVertigowooyay wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 4:53 pmIf you have the time, this really is a cracking read - "A federal judge ordered sanctions against 9 pro-Trump lawyers, including Sidney Powell and L.

What is brilliant about this is that the judge hasn't just dismissed the ludicrous claims of Trump's lawyers, she's actually gone through them one by one, and forensically debunked every single one. By taking their claims seriously - something I don't think they ever expected - she has utterly demolished not just their case, but their reputations and possibly their careers.
If you don't have the time, pages 55-57 give a good example of the f.cking batshittery that Powell etc went into court with, and pages 109-110 gives the list of sanctions against them by the judge, including this, which I think is my favourite:

Haha. She's sent them back to the classroom and told them to produce some evidence they've learned something!Vertigowooyay wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 4:53 pmIf you have the time, this really is a cracking read - "A federal judge ordered sanctions against 9 pro-Trump lawyers, including Sidney Powell and L.
