Hmm... It's sounds almost like a planned delay in Mr. Drumpf's case...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

and like Bradley had an axe to grind with Wade.
This whole thing is a distraction for the Republican base, so there's less coverage of the trial and they feel vindicated in (inevitably) ignoring any possible convictions or plea deals.
They are going to have to invent new terms for the amount of fucked Mike Roman is about to be.
Moron should've taken the plea deal. They offered him a misdemeanor with probation. For participating in a friggin coup attempt. He chose "stick my dick in a hornet's nest" instead.
Me, I'm looking forward to it. Hope he gets his comeuppance.
Republicans need a new playbook. Simply fabricating lies based on heresay, unvetted 'sources' and rumors just doesn't cut it anymore.
All they were doing was wasting time and it accomplished that
Was just thinking: sounds awfully like how a false rape accusation fuxks up the life of the accused for shits and giggles. There should be penalties, except that they'd just claim they were just 'acting on information they received' and claim due diligence isn't their responsibility. It's all bullshit.
You say that, but it works great against their voting base.
Their voter base is "phasing out:" https://www.statista.com/statistics/319068/party-identification-in-the-united-states-by-generation/ (you'd think that they would value universal healthcare more)
You mean like the Medicare they have to use at 65?
Simply fabricating lies based on heresay, unvetted 'sources' and rumors just doesn't cut it anymore.
You mean the basis of their entire religion?
They won't ever understand that it won't cut it in court, though. They think the Democrats are weaponizing the court system to try to destroy them, hence the convictions of all the Jan 6 insurrectionists, and the dumpster fire that is Trump's legal life. And they think it, because they want to and have wanted to do exactly that: use the courts to destroy their opposition. So they don't understand why when they make this up (which again, they think the Democrats are doing) it doesn't hold up in court.
It cuts it if it allows Turnip Dump to stay on the ballot
If Republicans had attentions spans, they'd be so pissed right now
If those kids weren't still embryos they couldn't read.
Did I do it right?
What all these articles miss is that the guy made less money working on this case than he did in private practice the year before. Dude was a partner at a law firm, government work doesn't pay well at all.
This makes me wonder if they've figured out how to deal with Trump and the bad faith far right: do the same shit they do so they dig their own hole. Lie to them as much as possible where there's no consequences, then don't only drop the ball when they try to pass it to you when it matters, but act like you have no idea what the ball is even for.
