There is no need to catch up, its now the other way around
where Lies are laid bare, pants are prohibited!
Its no lie to state the sole function of a criminal court trial is is to unearth only one thing
Truth.
jury are the masters of the Truth, the Jurist the Master of the Law. Isnt it a magnificent system? The struggle to find the truth results from the conflict between prosecution and defence. Its a system well honed by time and precedent.
A criminal trial is so much unlike a Twitter
this is all going to both educate and shock folks of the MAGA variety out of their trance, and others out of Twitter level knowledge of the rule of law
its already happening.
The Defendant didnt get a dozen competitions for nomination because hes omnipotent. On the contrary. Thats one mans sad fantasy
The Emperor of Tweets and Terrorism has lost his pants! The Law eats fantasies and defendants with no pants on lunch break.
The J6 Committee was like a dress rehearsal where the stage had not yet been set
now the stage belongs to the Rule of Law, directed act by act by a professional of the highest calibre. Even a biased jurist is defenceless when the currency of law, Evidence, is overwhelming and the Procedure set in only slightly pliable stone.

(76,139 posts)many of our friends in the DU community are hesitant to get their hopes up. I am fully confident that the defendent will be convicted, and the verdict will not be oberturned on appeal. I also get why there has been some harsh opinions expressed about the DOJ after a recent WP article. Last night I wrote an essay that I was thinking of posting on this forum, explaining why I respect AG Garland -- I do not expect perfection, and thus rank him high among AGs in my long life-time. And addressing why it took "so long" to identify the defendent as a person of interest in the J6 investigations.
