Reminds me of when, as Florida AG, Bondi dropped a fraud investigation into Trump right after he gave her a $25K campaign donation. By all appearances, she is as corrupt as he is….

I’d also say to “reply-guy” that even if it were true that Trump doesn’t care about polls (there is a lot of evidence to the contrary), that doesn’t mean Congress also doesn’t care. They very much do, & that matters, as Congress has always had the power (if not the courage) to stop Trump.

Wasn’t this exact issue issue (that Article 1 §2 requirement of an “actual enumeration” of “all persons” means “all persons” & not just citizens or even legal residents) litigated in Trump 1.0, where Trump lost? Why isn’t that still binding on him?
-
Yes. And a HUGE waste of money. Especially since (and I don’t mean to suggest there is ANY validity to this investigation, but…) if this ever went anywhere, IT’S TEN YEARS AGO. Obama has immunity, & the relevant statutes of limitations have likely expired. This is Benghazi, squared. Cubed, even.

She’s right. Clinton v. Jones, which held that a sitting president is not immune from civil litigation under the constitution, is still good law. Clinton famously then had to sit for a deposition where his relationship with Monica Lewinsky was exposed, leading to his impeachment.

Unbelievable. I’d like to see what someone Republicans WON’T confirm would look like. Matt Gaetz, I guess, but he was withdrawn before these cowards had a choice between doing the obvious, right thing & genuflecting to a dumbass would-be King.

That’s a pretty easily-disposed of argument. A judge found that the sweetheart deal that included immunity for her (& other co-conspirators) was void as a result of an illegal conspiracy. I don’t believe she’s appealed that (?).
-
The most plausible answer is the market collectively believes either the tariffs will be declared illegal & void, or TACO Trump will back down before they are implemented (at least fully). And may be waiting for the inflation poop to hit the fan a little harder.

I think it’s a good thing for Maxwell to be deposed, if entirely public & transparent. However, regardless of whether she burned Trump to the ground or gave him cover, she’s completely useless as a witness unless corroborated in multiple ways. Which is why the files must be released.

Not one bit.
