"The brief due Thursday (9/26) ā€“ which is expected to exceed 200 pages, including exhibits, and is meant to convince courts Trump should be prosecuted for alleged obstruction and conspiracy criminal activity ā€” is a rare avenue for evidence to be aired in court before a trial.

Chutkan of the DC District Court, in a six-page opinion, said she would allowĀ such an outsized briefingĀ because the Supreme Court, in its recent decision to give Trumpā€™sĀ actions whileĀ president immunity from prosecution, has directed her as the trial judge to look closely at facts in the case to decide ifĀ some allegationsĀ could moveĀ forward to trial."

      Yeah but I sold myself on both sides being the same side and Iā€™ve been pushing it so hard for so long that Iā€™m absolutely married to the idea and no amount of evidence will convince me otherwise.

        Theater is absolutely the wrong word.

        Ineffective due to corruption? Maybe. But people are genuinely chasing these prosecutions with the intent of justice; itā€™s not just ā€œfor showā€
