This Ain’t “Monopoly”

WaPo's right wing propagandist takes a pro-witness intimidation stance.

Nice rule of law you got here. pic.twitter.com/szd89A1EQX

And a presidential campaign ain’t a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card. So long as candidates aren’t indicted for felony offenses, the courts have no reason to supervise any candidate’s campaign.

But criminal law ain’t just for poor brown people stealing food.

Welcome to the rule of law, asshole.

I know it's serious and all, but I'm finding all of this very amusing. Given me a lot of excuses to feed trolls, which old hobby I have revived. Argued with a dude about what 'outcome' means. Another until 1am about how Trump will have magical subpoena powers to relitigate 2020 and thus invalidate all the charges. Etc, etc.

Pretty sure more than one J6 defendant wanted to relitigate the 2020 election. They didn’t get to, though.

The courts frown on bullshit defenses. Especially since proving the bank did steal your money doesn’t excuse you from robbing the bank. And Trump can’t prove the bank stole his money. He lost that argument 60+ cases ago. 

You’re right! This is fun! 🤩
