Yup, it’s certainly possible that they may find a way to legislatively interfere with the criminal prosecution. If that should happen it will be really interesting to compare and contrast what some people think of that compared to other instances where governments are alleged to have meddled with prosecutorial discretion.
Yup, the indictment wording was insufficiently detailed. Trump now only faces ten felony charges in Georgia instead of thirteen. Prosecutors may seek to re-indict with greater specificity, or just shrug and carry on.
The judge did not dismiss the same alleged facts as predicate acts for the RICO, nor was the RICO charge dismissed.
Nope, her behaviour certainly hasn’t impressed anybody, least of all the judge.
Yup, again, judge isn’t happy- however he has also ruled on the extent to which the prosecution is and is not impacted, and it’s far short of what the defense hoped for. There’s no fundamental threat to the viability of the criminal prosecution.
Specifically, the Republican controlled house committee wants her to- with all the hypocritical hilarity that entails given that some of them thenselves defied congressional committee subpoenas. In any case, the lawyers will hash that out, and it’s a sideshow that does not and cannot impact on the state of Georgia’s right to administer its own criminal justice system.
Indeed- though much less now remains that could halt the prosecution than was the case before this week. So far the defense has not come close to achieving the major trajectory change they needed and hoped for. It’s not impossible by any means, but they’re quickly using up their dry powder.
Heh, yeah. Everyone gets some of the baby. Nobody ends up happy with what they got.
