It's not NY state's job to "protect the office of the presidency." Bragg's chickening out.
Congrats, dipshits, you let the fascist fuck get away with everything, just like everyone predicted.
What an utter failure of a justice system we have.
No no, the rich guy won, that’s how it work
The prosecutors had asked for more time to consider next steps in the case, citing the need to balance the “competing interests” between having the criminal case go forward as normal and protecting the office of the president.
Motherfucker he is not president yet! He wasn't even president-elect until this month! Do your fucking job and let the higher courts deal with the big questions!
We all knew this was going to happen. Even the optimists like myself figured it out when sentencing was scheduled after the election.
well you see, the problem is that the criminal case is just reeeeeaallly inconvenient for him
between ~~having the criminal case go forward as normal~~ justice and ~~protecting the office of the president.~~ letting the rich and powerful be above the law
Fixed that for them. Any system where letting anyone get away with everything up to and including treason to "protect the office" is even an option is rotten to the fucking core 🤬
If you want to protect the office, keep the traitorous fascist out of it! That's how you protect the fucking office!
TL;DR Trump will face no consequences as expected.
Rules for thee but not for meeee!!!
The whole wheels of justice turn slowly that kept getting pushed was such a frustration.
"Oh we can't actually do the arrest until we have dotted every I and crossed every T". Well every minute you spent solidifying your case, corrupt judges, lawyers, etc... were destroying the system altogether.
Just fucking move forward. What is the issue?
(Yes, I know the "issue" is that he's technically above the law)
