He was a war veteran who died of brain cancer years ago, does it really matter? I mean in the face of Trump and the American far right fascist movement who control the GOP? Trump is gone, but his shit stain remains and will be difficult to wash out, but the democrats could help with that by passing new laws when they gain power.
what hooker thing? I can’t find a link

GOP legal experts file amicus brief backing January trial for Trump
A group of conservative legal experts on Monday filed an amicus brief in support of the Jan. 2, 2024 proposed trial date in the federal criminal case against former President Trump over his efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election.

The group, which consists of former attorneys and judges who served or were appointed during Republican administrations, argued the repercussions of this trial on American democracy “could not be any more profound” and endorsed the trial date proposed by special counsel Jack Smith’s team, as opposed to the significantly later time frame suggested by Trump.

“There is no more important issue facing America and the American People—and to the very functioning of democracy—than whether the former president is guilty of criminally undermining America’s elections and American democracy in order to remain in power notwithstanding that the American people had voted to confer their power upon the former president’s successor, President Joseph Biden,” they wrote.

The friend-of-the-court brief argued it was in the best public interest to have a speedy trial, and that the American people have a right to see the legal matters resolved. Trump is running for another term in the White House in 2024 and is, by far, the front-runner in hypothetical GOP primary polls.

“There is a surpassing public interest in the expeditious resolution of these questions, in order that these questions raised by the former president’s conduct for which he now stands charged do not continue much longer to cast a dark shadow over America and her democratic system of government and governance,” they argued.

The experts acknowledged efforts by the Trump team to delay the trial and argued that while “the questions presented are profound, the impending trial of the former president on these serious offenses should be straightforward, presenting little just cause for delay beyond the government’s proposed schedule and trial date.”

In making the argument that the case should be straightforward, they pointed to expansive breadth of evidence already available to the public and to other key details, including the work of the Jan. 6 House committee; the fact that the events of Jan. 6, 2021 transpired in public view; the lack of classified evidence needed; and the fact that charges were not novel and that many Jan. 6 rioters have now been charged in similar cases.
CNN first reported the amicus brief.

The 11 experts cited include Michael Luttig, who testified before the Jan. 6 committee, as well as Donald Ayer, Steven Calabresi, John Farmer Jr., Stuart Gerson, Alberto Gonzales, Richard Painter, Jonathan Rose, Paul Rosenzweig, Stanley Twardy Jr.

“For the first time in American history, a former President of the United States stands charged with grave crimes against the United States of America that he allegedly committed while President. The serious offenses alleged in United States v. Donald J. Trump constitute a knife to the heart of America’s democracy and its democratic system of government and governance. The 9 former president’s trial is of transcendent consequence for the Nation,” they wrote.

“As the eyes of democracies around the world look to America as the continuing proof of democracy’s promise, it is important that this prosecution and the trial of the former president be resolved expeditiously, consistent with Constitution and the rule of law.”

A RINO judge? We will see what Trump has to say about it yet.

Georgia Trump investigation: Who is Judge Robert McBurney?
A Fulton County Superior Court judge finds himself at the center of the Georgia investigation looking into former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the state’s 2020 election results as a potential fourth indictment looms over the former president.

Judge Robert C.I. McBurney oversaw the special grand jury tasked with reviewing election interference in 2020 that released a partial report about its findings earlier this year and is now overseeing the grand jury where District Attorney Fani Willis (D) is presenting her case ahead of possible charges in connection to the investigation.

Willis has signaled that charges in her years-long investigation are imminent, meaning that Trump could face his fourth indictment this year in the coming days. It’s unclear whether McBurney will be assigned to Trump’s case if he ends up being indicted.

McBurney was appointed by former Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) in 2012 to succeed former Judge Marvin Arrington. Since then, McBurney has been elected three times to serve as a judge of the Georgia 5th Superior Court District, Atlanta Circuit.

He had previously served as the assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia and the assistant district attorney of Fulton County, according to the court’s website.

Last month, McBurney rejected Trump’s efforts to quash the investigation looking into the potential interference during the 2020 election. He wrote in a ruling that Trump’s arguments were “either insufficient or else speculative and unrealized.”

“They are insufficient because, while being the subject (or even target) of a highly publicized criminal investigation is likely an unwelcome and unpleasant experience, no court ever has held that that status alone provides a basis for the courts to interfere with or halt the investigation,” he wrote.

Trump has also sued McBurney and Willis in a separate lawsuit alongside his petition to the Georgia supreme court — an additional attempt to quash the investigation.

“Petitioner’s every attempt to seek redress in the normal course have been ignored, and the District Attorney has given every indication that the injury is imminent,” Trump wrote in the petition last month.

McBurney also issued a separate ruling early in the investigation barring Willis from investigating then-state Sen. Burt Jones, who served as one of the 16 fake electors in the state and is now its lieutenant governor. Willis had previously thrown a fundraiser last year for a Democratic candidate who would go on to face off against Jones in the lieutenant governor’s race.

“This scenario creates a plain — and actual and untenable – conflict,” McBurney wrote in his order disqualifying Willis from pursuing Jones at the time. “Any decision the District Attorney makes about Senator Jones in connection with the grand jury investigation is necessarily infected by it.”

McBurney was also the judge who overturned Georgia’s ban on abortion starting about six weeks into a pregnancy in November, saying it was “plainly unconstitutional.”

I’m having one of those days. I’m not spotting the acronym.
