@DrALJONES

People, even #MAGA people, have to ask why #Trump wants to dismiss charges without prejudice* in this high profile #corruption case against a #Democrat running a #sanctuarycity & why a #prosecutor who was awarded two bronze stars for #MilitaryService & served as a #lawclerk for #Republican #ChiefJusticeJohnRoberts is willing to loose their job trying to continue the #prosecution.

*a dismissal without prejudice means the charges can be filed without invoking #doublejeopardy.

The U.S. Justice Department says it has fired several career lawyers who were involved in the prosecution of President Donald Trump while he was out of office. @ABCNews@flipboard.com has more.

#Justice #JillKarofsky noted the 1849 #ban lacks #exceptions for #rape or #incest and may cause #doctors to withhold #care from #women due to #fear of #prosecution.

A little #introduction for a new server:

I am an #attorney working in #municipal #law, specifically including #prosecution, #parking, #traffic #tax, #civilrights, #constitutional law, etc. Municipal law is like practicing every legal field, all the time, all at once. Potpourri law.

I’ve studied international relations and national security/foreign policy extensively. I follow #politics and #election #news extremely closely.

Mayhem is my #dog (see below) and you’ll see her a lot here.

“The lawyers plan to use civilian courts to prosecute those who aid and abet Israel in its crimes through civilian courts, in cooperation with UK and US lawyers.”

Supreme Court Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson said she was "concerned" about court's landmark decision that granted former #Trump #immunity from #prosecution for #officialacts he took while in office. Jackson, in an interview with "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell, suggested the #ruling gives Trump special treatment compared to anyone else in the #criminaljustice system. #democracy #legalresearch #courts #election2020 #peaceful #transferofpower https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-justice-ketanji-brown-jackson-trump-immunity-ruling/?stream=top

#FeloniousTrump went on another insane tirade on #Newsmax, this time openly threatening to imprison #HillaryClinton, and #PresidentBiden's wife. I don't have the faintest idea of what either of those two ladies did that would justify an investigation, let alone an #indictment and successful #prosecution. Pay attention, because #Trump is telling us all exactly what he'll do if he's given the power of the #presidency.

Your reminder: NO LAW says a sitting U.S. President cannot be prosecuted. It's a GD MEMO from DOJ which originated BECAUSE....the Nixon DOJ wanted GOP to hold power. They knew Agnew was toast and Nixon cld follow --& Carl Albert (why don't we hear that name more?) was Dem Speaker of the House & wld become Pres. It was a CYA for the longtime corrupt GOP ffs.

REMEMBER THIS when you hear people talk about a P. not being prosecuted as the law. #DOJmemo #DOJ #SittingPresident #Prosecution

Key Witness Testifies in #Georgia Hearing That Could Derail #Trump #RICO #Prosecution

The witness Robin Bryant-Yeartie, a friend of #FaniWillis, asserts that the romantic relationship between Willis & #NathanWade began before Wade was hired by the DA‘s office. This contradicts Wade’s asssertion that the romance did not begin until after he began working for Willis.

Nick Wallis was one of the first journalists to regularly report the emerging scandal of the sub-postmasters prosecuted and sacked from their jobs by the Post Office.

As a young local journalist it was Nick who brought the story to the BBC. Now he's made a gripping 21-part podcast looking back at the scandal, explaining the terrible effects on the accused postmasters and the recent developments. It's an essential listen.
