I chatted with Attorney General Tish James today...

She expects Trump's lawyers to delay the process and try to "judge shop" someone who will support him.

She is trying to get the case on an expedited docket.

She thinks jurisdiction can be kept in Manhattan.

A settlement is a possibility.

She agreed with me that a settlement could not include confidentiality of terms.

She does not think Bragg was corrupt of compromise in not bringing criminal charges; he was concerned that the case was largely circumstantial.

4. Funny How EVERY Case Against TFG Involves "Circumstantial Evidence"

And yet, people here still think he's going to get sent to jail.

Him and Gaetz are both ABOVE THE LAW.

It’s almost like you want us to believe they are.

14. I Feel We Need To Accept That They Are

I've seen Nothing to show that they aren't. They continue to get away with all their crimes, hence, Above The Law.

I guess I'm growing tired of every time they commit a criminal act, people fall all over themselves to say how they're going to jail. I want to bring people down to earth, so they're not disappointed when the reality sets in, that they have yet to be held accountable, and I doubt they ever will be.

16. If They're Ever Held Accountable, I'll Gladly Admit To Being Completely Wrong

For now though, clearly, people who commit crimes on the regular, like these Pieces Of Excrement, and are never even charged, are Above The Law. This is the very definition of "Above The Law."

And they know it very well.

And folks can be found guilty on circumstantial evidence. The circumstance is that he is guilty.

...I'm probably better equipped to determine what can be shared and what can't. I also wasn't alone in the room, so nothing was privileged.

I wondered the same thing. This thread is nothing more than pompous bragging and the OP has NO idea which of us may or may not have access to state and political personnel because WE don’t feel the need to broadcast it.
