    They need to grow a spine and not provide the briefs on the grounds of pending legislation against Trump

      No, they need to give him a Canary trap so they know exactly how the information is getting leaked. It is important to understand the way these back channels are working so we can catch the intermediaries as well.

        I would be super surprised if this was not already done. The problem that once that gets to the prosecutor it fucking dies. Merrick Garland and the DOJ are compromised or spineless if you look at their track record.

        I would have erred towards spineless until they called Biden old and forgetful in a fucking commentary to a case because why the fuck not, and went after Hunter Biden but could not find shit on anyone in the Trump family, because those guys are squeaky clean.

        Right now the insurrectionist have:

        1. The supreme court + key parts of the federal courts

        2. DOJ support

        3. US post

        4. Local governments

        5. Parts of FBI

        6. THE WHOLE OF THE GOP and all the billions that go with it.

        They are going for round 2 with the lessons learnt from round 1.

        They are going for the win.

          They’re going to add most every federal government department to the list by the end of the next GOP presidency, plus a bunch more judges. They’ll gut the EPA, and do whatever they can get away with – possibly that will include everything if SCOTUS declares the president immune from all prosecution.

          Doing that is kind of an obvious final warning sign that the GOP are about to establish the president as a putin-style dictator for life with bullshit sham elections. Every step clears the way for jailing those they don’t like and setting up their final solution.

      It’s not like he reads the damn things anyway. They should just give him a picture book with “TRUMP” in big letters on every page to color in.
