4. Aileen Cannon will do everything humanly possible to ensure that justice does not win.

So sucks that she was cleared of obvious malfeasance by the other oligarchs, er higher judges. Now, we are fucked! This takes away a speed trial and America's right to know how big a criminal traitor orange asshole actually is. Oh, nd this was not randomly assigned, a clerk in Miami assigned it to her because of her previous involvement. Bet that was a maga clerk, but whoever it was they will rot in hell if they knew what they were doing.

5. Have you read the 49 page indictment, lark?

It’s got the receipts, in horrifying detail, and much of it in TRE45ON’s own words, on his truthy shouty MAGAphone page, and on camera anytime he gets one in his face. The whole world is watching.

If that’s somehow not enough, there are still many investigations on-going: J6 in DC, Fani Willis in Georgia, more documents at the NJ golf club, E Jean Carroll again because TRE45ON just can’t keep his mouth shut 🤐

I’m not going to borrow trouble, imagining the worst. We’ll see what Tuesday brings, eh?

Here’s a link to the indictment for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

6. Yes, I read it yesterday and it is indeed very damning.

Any normal justice would realize how serious this is but she thought tfg personally owns all the records - is on record herself saying this and did her best to ensure no case was ever heard. She lost, TWICE, in spectacular fashion. Since she didn't learn the first time, why would I think she's come to her senses now?

Not borrowing trouble is the sensible way, and I applaud your ability to do that. I, however, have HUGE anxieties over it. I am not worried about the jury, I just want it to get to them quickly in it's full form and not have her cut out all the depts. info and that is what I expect her to do. She will detroy the case one way or another, either by the delay of trying to get a new judge out of a hostile appellate court or by her dragging her feet on everything and disallowing everything for the prosecution and giving tfg every tiny thing he requests - reasonable or not.

7. I'm with you, lark, on getting it to the jury in its full form.

We’re birds of a feather there.
And I understand your anxieties over it. I do. It’s out of our hands for now and waiting is the hardest part. I have confidence in Jack Smith based on his previous work and a gut feeling for what that’s worth. It’s just a feeling.

In any case, wishing you some sweet Shalom, peace be with you.
It’s going to be a week to remember, that’s for sure.

8. That's the worst part of my anxiety - there is not one thing I can do to change anything.

Thank you for the wishes for peace. I and lots of other worried Americans need that now!

If my anxiety gets too high, I can always double up on my Cymbalta (generic form, of course). Maybe meditation this week would help, haven't tried that in awhile.

Anyway, best wishes to all of us and our country too.
