    Yes that’s so dumb. It’s like obviously stupid. He could have stepped down and I’m sure she could have instantly found someone impartial to take his place.

    I know there isn’t technically a conflict of interest, but there appears to be and that’s enough.

      She’s a prosecutor, the actual corruption by the court overshadows the appearance of corruption by counsel. That argument about appearances never matters when it appears that the courts are favoring Trump as a defendant. The American political establishment wants to destroy the government.

        Correct it doesn’t, I agree. But that’s the status quo, that’s what the prosecution has to fight against. They ARE on their back foot because of Trump’s enormous and violent following. And when you’re on your back foot, you have to be perfect. It’s unfair and it’s total shit. But they screwed up.
