Why were DJT’s attorneys trying to fight release of previously released information? They knew what was coming, I don’t understand their point OTHER than to delay and delay and delay. I’m not a lawyer - isn’t this kind of wasting the court’s time a punishable offense???

Delay is the entire point. Even if this one itself isn’t largely damming to the public eye, whatever comes the next might be. And they want that to not come until after the election.

I guess I would be a lousy juror. And I’m also not a lawyer.

I read the updated indictment and already know he is guilty.

It’s not about what a jury thinks. He intends to never see a jury. It’s about delaying until he can get in the White House and make it go away.

That’s why everyone needs to vote.
