    If the rule of law doesn’t apply to him then does the rule of law apply at all? It makes it all seem meaningless when you look at it.

      This just further cements that there are multiple different levels of law depending on your money/wealth/power/influence. Any normal individual does this, with this much proof, and they would’ve seen the inside of a jail cell before the cuff-marks faded away.

        They won’t. There’s no point. The Trump SCOTUS will throw anything they do out. The only thing that Biden could do is use the powers SCOTUS granted the presidency to round them up, throw them in a gulag, and declare the election null and void. And he won’t do that.

    This isnt the last word. Smith is working out “the appropriate course for this case”, and the judge is giving him until Dec 2. We will hear from him again, before Trump takes office.

    He’s a smart guy, he may figure out a way to make these last few months interesting.
