Tuesday’s Politics thread is neck-deep in all this legal news

Case #1: Hunter Biden’s case is with the jury. He didn’t testify. It seems to me to be a pretty weak case. But I dunno, I am not a lawyer, just a law geek. https://tinyurl.com/mves62tw

Case #2: Judge Loose Cannon found for Jack Smith last night, but couldn’t just give him the ok, she had to ding him too and struck a paragraph from the indictment. Short substack from Mueller, She Wrote about it: https://tinyurl.com/wss6cm8s

Case #3: (which I wasn’t following up until very recently) The Young Thug trial down in Fulton County, GA. Hooooooooo boy…SO the defense attorney found out about an ex parte meeting between the judge, the ADA, and a witness in the case. The judge got PISSED that the defense attorney found out about the meeting, even though the judge was required to let him know. so the JUDGE imposed a 20 day criminal contempt sentence on the DEFENSE ATTORNEY for refusing to disclose where he got this info. Judge is about to get his ass tossed off the case. Mike Dunford (legal commentator) tweeted: “Status of Young Thug trial at end of day: The judge dove past doubling down, blew through the exponential barrier without a significant loss of momentum, and is now cheerfully sailing off into the realm of the kind of mathematics where the superscripts are equations.” So…this just happened and I don’t have an article to link to yet, but you can find one by now eventually. It was a RIDE yesterday.

So there’s my three. There will be more, oh yes, there will always be more, folks. That’s kinda why we’re here. And I don’t know when I turned into such a law nerd. But here we are. Hammy is doing better, so thanks all for sending good vibes this way. I’m sending them back to you. Keep it going! No threatening Mayor McSquirrel or anyone else.
