TWIT: Weirdness on the Trail

BJ Idonwanna sez: Only in "Merica!

The word describes the state of the campaign for President.  The CMM is hardly mentioning the fact that the Repugnant candidate is a convicted felon facing sentencing in New York next month. His campaign calls the situation "suspended reality".

Reality is catching up with Don the Con, however.  Arizona's Attorney General announced this week that co-conspirator Jenna Ellis, a former legal advisor, will turn state's evidence. She pled guilty in Georgia to aiding and abetting fraudulent statements in the same nationwide scheme to steal the election from Joe Biden. Iin return for her plea she was sentenced to five years probation. She has agreed to cooperate with the Arizona investigation of the fake elector scheme in which 18 people have been charged including Ellis. Prosecutors say Ellis made false claims of widespread election fraud in the state and with six others, encouraged the Arizona Legislature to change the outcome of the election, and encouraged then-Vice President Mike Pence to accept Arizona’s fake elector vote. Charges against her will be dropped as part of the deal. She has been barred from practicing law in Colorado for three years

According to reports the grand jury in Arizona wanted to also charge the ring leader, but prosecutors did not accept the jury's recommendation on grounds of similarity to the pre-existing federal case. He remains an unindicted co-conspirator. In DC Judge Chutkin has resumed jurisdiction of the federal case against Trumpilini after the corrupt MAGA Supreme Court attempted to give him a pass. She has instructed the parties to brief her on proceeding.  Many legal observers, including arrogant US Person, think an evidentiary hearing will be held before the November election to sort out "official acts" for which he has been granted immunity. Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin have also filed charges in relation to the fraudulent conspiracy to make Trumpillini the first 'merican dictator. But progress in courts has been excruciating slow thanks to a phalanx of expensive defense lawyers and almost unlimited funds. Equal justice under law?  Not so much. So, it's up to Smilin' Kamala Harris to debate the criminal on national TV in September.

Weird!
