Unctuous • \UNK-chuh-wus\ • adjective. 1 a : fatty, oily b : smooth and greasy in texture or appearance 2 : plastic 3 : insincerely smooth in speech and manner.

I hope that weasel understands the magnitude of the very idea of not prosecuting a former president who attempted an insurrection. Not for noble reasons but for his own gain.

Pardon me for not getting excited about a referral for criminal prosecution. I'll wait until he's actually indicted for his crimes.

'Bye-bye, baby': Experts affirmatively conclude 'yes, it's happening' — Trump is getting indicted

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-is-ge...dicted-lawyer/

The question is, when? Let’s get this over with, please! The sooner this buffoon is behind bars, the better.

If he was arrested yesterday it would be into the next Presidents term before a trial.....

If it is a Republican President charges go away.

They'd probably have to have him off somewhere else, watching on TV.

Is that to keep the MAGA nut cases from storming the court? I wouldn't put it past the nuttier factions among them to try and disrupt the trial. Speaking of the hopefully upcoming trial, how about a jury comprised of registered independent voters? Otherwise it will be claimed that they're all tRump haters out to get him.

Nope, I figure Trump himself will be disruptive, constantly on his feet yelling at people.

Jury nullification in Trumps favor may well be an issue. Just takes one to force a new trial.

Figuring an all time record for how fast a defendant gets charged with contempt of court?

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

My question: If Adam Fox deserves 16 years in prison for “scheming to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in what federal prosecutors described as a threat to American democracy,” how long should Donald Trump spend in prison for scheming to hijack the presidency?

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/27/u...entencing.html
Man Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison for Plotting to Kidnap Michigan’s Governor
Jurors convicted Adam Fox of scheming to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 in what federal prosecutors described as a threat to American democracy.
