Here, here. Wonderful analysis that changed my mind from wanting anything, and I mean anything, to make the public aware of just how awful Trump is. Now I realize caution is warranted. Once again there is yet another reason to vote blue, no matter who.

After all, don’t we want justice to prevail and every defendant receive all due process in pursuit of that justice?

Same. Thank you so much AG. I appreciate the insight and analysis. I don’t want anything that makes this election muddy. We need to let our votes be the mini trial and when VP Harris is elected, we can all watch these trials move forward to their natural conclusion for the convict.

So good to read a responsible, well explained and reasoned article regarding the need to protect to the greatest extent that we can, the principle of justice for all, to protect the innocent, requires that all, regardless of how obvious it may seem to some of guilt, are treated in line with those principles and processes which underpin our judicial system.

Thank you.

Thank you for this great

clarification for Jack Smith's

decisions.

The People's justice will be at

the ballot box in November.

Defeat Trump there and leave

him wide open for Jack

Smith.

Agree with this analysis - and were it not election year the argument that it could affect the vote for President would not enter the equation for the DOJ

On the POLITICAL front, I feel it HELPS the Dems & NOT the orange menace ... KH & TW don't have to answer questions on block buster evidence emerging against their opponent & can make it about THEIR policies & track records, and he doesn't get to go whingeing & whining and screeching about "UNFAIR!!! DOJ trying to stop me being President!" etc. etc. which could give some pause who might stay home or switch without this distraction - better to get it right than rush & let him off the hook, politically & legally. Besides, I still hope the threat to decamp to Venezuela is real, and he can be tried in absentia without constantly seeing his face & hearing his whiny voice every day!

Candidates NEVER have to answer questions about trials against their opponents The vice president even has a duty to refrain from such.

We're not going to get justice on Trump crimes anyway, at least not as long as the Trump stooges control the Supreme Court.

This analysis looks at the legal side only, but legal trials are newsworthy only if they have a p political aspect. We need convictions of Trump because media already is pushing truth out in favor of Trump lies.

This news will allow to call Democrats liars with impunity when they warn of the coming insurrection as they've done many times lately, especially at this week's convention.

Thank you for explaining this. It helps a lot with the anxiety around wondering when justice would ever be done. I always figure there must be a strategy, but normally don’t know what it is.

Thank you, AG. This helps settle things in my mind. I wasn’t quite sure what to think of this. As always, you are so appreciated!

AG once again I think you are right on the money here. Sometimes justice takes a long time and we must be patient. One of the many things I have learned from you and all your amazing podcast co-hosts is justice takes different forms. For me right now, the first justice will be Trump losing to Madame Vice President and losing “bigly” to her. Then we can watch all the court proceedings with much less stress and actually enjoy watching him go down in flames!!! That is if he lives that long or doesn’t somehow manage to leave the country which one would think would be pretty hard to do with a Secret Service detail but hey I suppose anything is possible. Right now I think we should all be making bets as to whether or not the felon shows up to debate prosecutor! LOL

I've never, in any event, been able to figure out how one can have a "mini trial" in a criminal case with a judge acting as trier of fact. It was one of the many things about the immunity decision that puzzled me. "these depend on the facts, but you can't use the facts as evidence and the judge has to decide what the facts she can't see are."

Another great analysis by AG. I always read promptly anything from MuellerSheWrote as it is timely, relevant, and fact based. Thank-you.

I have said from the beginning that Jack Smith knows exactly what he’s doing and we have too many reasons to trust he knows when, where and what will convict the Felony Factory.

Thanks AG!
