By Matt Underwood It’s an absolute travesty they were able to delay this for as long as they did and it had to involve the Supreme Court to issue a ruling your average joe could have figured out.
SC never ruled on the merits per se, they just blocked a stay of the lower courts ruling, in effect not taking up the case. The lower court had essentially issued a scathing opinion that who is Trump to try and exert Executive privilege opposite to that of the current Executive branch. Roberts agreed at its ridiculousness. Trump never stood a chance and it only took a few months overall, which is lightning quick. Remember this started around August/September, not last January.
The frivolity of these suits & appeals by Trump made it a lost cause.. The severity of what he was trying to hide (evidence of his coup attempt) is what pushed three decisions to be made and for the Court not to flounder/delay decision at any level.
This was resolved VERY quickly, for our judicial system.
I really hope he and all the others who took part pay for this this time. What do you think the likelihood of him walking away free is?
Given that the US never punished those responsible for the Civil War, never punished those responsible for the business plot, never punished Nixon and Kissinger, never punished GW Bush and his cabinet, and haven’t punished any politicians involved with the Jan 6 sedition, it’s pretty close to 100%.
