At this point she should be considered an accessory to his crimes.

The judges impartiality is in question. The judge is demonstrating partiality to one side of the case.

Impartiality would imply that she's not partial to one side or the other when she's clearly favoring the defendant.

He chose the judge for where he moved to commit the crimes... We shouldn't expect anything less.

While that may explain a lack of impartiality, it doesn’t justify it. She’s held to the same standard as any other judge. All the more reason Smith should file a motion for recusal.

Who is surprised by this?

I totally agree with the importance of this case. It’s the most concerning in my opinion. There is testimony that Trump divulged classified information to Russian intelligence, as well as having sold classified submarine schematics. This case needs to be heard prior to the election, as it’s directly relevant to charging him with access to this information for a second term.

It’s by the design of capitalism. If you have more money, you can afford better attorneys and appeals. Trump is bringing the invisible third-tier to light with this case, having appointed the judge in 2020 that’s now presiding over his case.

Our legal system has 4 tiers of justice. If you are poor, a person of color or of another lowly respected group, you are too many times presumed guilty.

If you are working class to middle class, and can afford a decent lawyer, you get a middling level of justice. The better that you are able to differentiate yourself from the poor, and appear to look innocent, the better your outcome.

When you enter actual wealth, you can afford to put off trials, get counsel that can enact intensive clogging of the justice system. Prosecutors will be using inordinate resources to try a case and will plea bargain to ridiculous levels to be able to function for the rest of their duties. There is some justice in that what is spent on lawyers will meet or exceed the fines that they may have received otherwise.

The highest tier can always take their money elsewhere. They can purchase citizenship to other countries, including those without extradition, and are nations to themselves. The last two levels are either somewhat above the law, or completely exempt from the rule of law.

What is new is that members of a political party are seen as exempt from law, and that a ruler is exempt from law for life.

Pretrial motions that she is responsible for adjudicating. She even told trump's lawyers to take a slower approach on the motions, telling them to file them one by one instead of all at once. Source

Great. Let’s just move the case to a judge that’s not so busy. Lol

Sure is a fucking shame all those judge positions were held unfilled so there is such a backlog.

I wonder who did that and why.

If the judge can't keep her calendar under control she's incompetent and shouldn't be on the bench. If she's not even willing to extract time estimates from counsel then she's abdicating and should be removed from office.

If only Trump had some kind of way to travel across the country to the places he wants to or is required to be......

EXACTLY! And I'm SURE if a Poor Criminal did so many Crimes they were needed in multiple court rooms at the same time the courts would do the EXACT SAME THING!

The mental gymnastics are unreal

lol people who aren’t Trump have this happen but you wouldn’t care about that
