    The most deliscious thing (and worrying if I’m being honest) about all of this is that his biggest cheerleader, Magic The Gathering Majorie, is a representative of Georgia. Either this all happens under her watch and she’s powerless to “take the heat off a guy” or she will pull every favor she can in her own state to reduce anything she can for him.

    I forsee not only there to be many hiccups, but maybe even Watergate type charges for her office for meddling with the courthouse itself to try and fuck with the system. I would like to be wrong but this is a case that brings, perhaps not the actual charge but the spirit of, treasonous behavior. Anyone willing to end the democratic way of doing things for a dictator, will absolutely come to bat if it fails to try again.

      Weren’t the Republican politicians in Congress told to back TF off of New York’s case, because they were trying to meddle there, too?

      Homie was charged under the Espionage Act. Not in GA, that’s Jack Smith’s case. You think they’ll let him just chill out at mar-a-fucko for the rest of his days? Where any foreign operative has access?
