    Are you fucking kidding? So special attorneys, which have been used by pretty much every administration and every congress since the position was created, are not valid now?

    I’m not a law expert, but was the way she dismissed it make it so he can’t be charged again in either another jurisdiction or by the appropriate (in her mind) prosecution team?

        That presumes the law means anything to them.

        As this ruling shows, law means nothing to the Republican party.

          I am trying to keep “hopeful” that they’ll stick to their Project 2025 plans in the sense that they’ll try to do it through legal shenanigans and loopholes rather than just sending out the Gestapo and keeping everyone in their homes with machine guns.
