Our Court System Is Speedy For Some People

Democrat Bob Menendez was indicted in September and his trial is scheduled for May 6th.

See, our justice system works for Democrats.

1. Has he made any claims of executive privilege or attorney client privilege regarding any evidence?

Of course, not being president would eliminate any claims of executive privilege, and I don’t think his lawyer (he probably has just one, as opposed to Trump’s dozens) was probably not involved in his crimes.

So, one Justice system, two very different cases.

2. What about Scott Perry?

It can't be true but it seems to me that Congressional Magats have immunity.

That Barry Loudermilk guy who gave the Capitol tour to insurrectionists who took pictures of stairways and tunnels was only questioned by Capitol police, never was questioned by the FBI.

5. Members of Congress do have immunity: The Speech and Debate Clause

Are there exceptions? Sure. But it makes prosecuting members of Congress more difficult than you seem to realize.

6. Indeed- Loudermilk was invited (not subpoenaed) to testify to the J6 committee, but declined

Not sure why he wasn’t subpoenaed.

Perry has used the Speech and Debate clause to delay access to his devices, which were seized long ago. DOJ was just granted access to the messages on Perry’s devices in December 2023. The messages will be presented to a grand jury to determine if Perry committed any crimes.

Much has yet to be revealed in both these cases, including your most-important-to-you “why?” and “who is to blame?” Questions.

4. How long was the investigation

My wife is involved in the criminal justice world - she wouldn't like me to say any more which is why I never talk about it online. Cases routinely take years before anything happens. The other day she was in court for something going back to 2018 that was just now going to trial - and it wasn't regarding any sort of political matter or billionaire defendant.

7. I don't think anyone thinks the May 6 trial date will hold. There will be delays and extensions.

You seem to forget that Trump was indicted in the January 6 case in August and the trial was set for March -- seven months, pretty much the same as the Menendez timeline.
