    Here’s what I don’t get, which just shows how incompetent everybody involved is.

    Cannon has already outright stated that she’s waiting to rule on some things until after the jury is seated and double jeopardy attaches, making it all but clear she’s going to dismiss the case with prejudice at her first opportunity.

    So why doesn’t team Trump just shut the fuck up? They know the fix is already in. Why file motions that are going to bring more negative attention to the case? Why not just seat the jury and then dismiss the case since Smith won’t be able to do anything about it at that point? All these motions are doing is just drawing attention to the incompetence and corruption unnecessarily. She could have easily gotten away with her reputation largely intact if everyoone would have just allowed the case to get to trial asap and just dismiss the case at that point. Sure, she’d have gotten heat anyway, but it would have been looked upon as one bad decision in a vacuum, instead of being the inevitable end of a series of corrupt acts.

    I consider us very fortunate that the people who Trump engages in corruption with are so incompetent that they can’t even do corruption properly. If any of these people had half a brain, this country would be in exponentially more trouble than it already is.
