kinda funny to watch Trump toss the hot potato into the lap of the judiciary. If they don't release the grand jury testimony, they'll become a part of the conspiracy.
I don't get that. Seems to me that you take evidence to the grand jury. That's available, now. Getting a federal judge involved is only a delay tactic, IMO.
the evidence was already taken to the grand jury. and now, it is under seal. Requires a court order to release. Regardless of the merits/demerits of release, the fact that the judiciary has to approve it does "throw the issue into the lap" of the courts. And if they don't, odds are it will be a Democrat appointed judge who makes the ruling (ergo making the ruling partisan). And if it is a GOP appointed judge who makes the ruling not to release, then it is just more deep state resistance to what the public elected Trump to do.
Not making a call on any of that. Just noting the dynamic. Very good play by Trump. To the extent that the ploy is stalling for time, that helps the issue fade and allows the RussiaGate narrative to hog the stage. (which is what Trump is trying to do).
Then Trump will lose a lot of support from his base and forfeit the midterms.
Nope.
the way I see it, if there was anything that even slightly related to a Republican in there, the news starved liberal Legacy Media would been all over it in the four years they had it. Since the Republicans have not released it, possibly there is nothing the other way
Obama and Biden had all that info. If it was kryptonite for Trump, they'd have dumped it. Instead, they chose other quite outlandish things to prosecute him for.
