Don't they know they're just sending more people over to Trump?

[George K]

It's Smith bringing the indictment. Hasn't the judge already ruled that he's not qualified?

[Jolly]

Secret grand jury. Another lawfare indictment.

I hope Trump goes up by six

[jon-nyc]

It’s not really ‘another’ indictment, it’s an updated (superceding) indictment taking into account Trump v United States.

[Jolly]

It's another fucking indictment.

Grand jury + prosecutor -> True Bill

I am curious why you think that. Because people feel sorry for him? Whether or not there is this indictment, he is the same person, same style, same policies, etc.

He himself has not changed anything because of this.

Look at the history of attempts by Democrats to destroy the guy. It’s gone on for 9 years now. People see this.

[Jolly]

Impeachment -> Lawfare -> Assassination.

He's still standing.

Say, when the Republicans were throwing birtherism/muslim/Kenyan stuff at Obama, did you think "Don't they know they're just sending more people over to Obama?"

[Jolly]

As usual, no discernment, no nuance, no understanding.

[taiwan_girl]

I agree with @Axtremus on this. Voting for someone just because a person feels sorry for them does not seem to be a good way to decide who to vote for. Especially when nothing else has changed.

[Mik]

It has nothing to do with feeling sorry for Trump. It’s an egregious and corrupt abuse of power, a much greater threat to democracy than Trump.

Amen.

Believe it or not, I don't think Jack Smith's motivation is driven by politics. He doesn't care if this helps or hurts the Trump campaign. He's enforcing the law. And @jon-nyc said, pragmatically, it's not a new indictment, but an updated one based on a court ruling, which makes sense.

[89th]

Here's an idea, read the indictment. Replace "Trump" with "Obama" and tell me how you'd feel if Obama tried to remain in power despite losing in an electoral landslide.

Have you not followed Jack's career?

[89th]

Believe it or not I haven't. Jack Smith, isn't he a character in James Patterson novels?

[Jolly]

Do some research.

You often espouse opinions based on no knowledge of motives or backstories.

[89th]

I mean, I read the indictment. Do you disagree with the facts?
