32. I'm thinking this verdict was a take down of merely one column of tRump's criminal empire.

I remember Vance wasn't exactly 'On the Case' in terms moving the investigation along in preparation for trial.

Vance struck me as foot dragging at a painfully slow pace., in fact there were times when it was reported nothing was going to proceed.

But then with political events being what they were, seemed to have been like a fire getting lit under his ass. except again, signs of foot dragging right through the period leading up to his retirement, he hired those well known, experienced prosecutors, then Braggs comes i and douses cold water on all that work. Like it was all worked out behind closed doors.. leaving the public, prosecutors and AG twisting the wind.

I'm sure I have all of this wrong, just grist for a film script that's been recycled hundred million times.

I recognize that tune! Just a few of the same words but re-arranged to fit the given chorus line.

I find this closing argument fascinating, obviously transmitting it to the public, praying that a sort of baton was being passed to whoeer outhere to whoever might have legal standing and the fortitude to carry on and finishing it.
