Could people be indicted for election fraud before January 6? Theoretically, yes. However, election fraud is a federal felony and thus, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, requires indictment by a grand jury.
There's a saying in law that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich, if that's what the prosecutor wants. There's some truth to that, federal grand juries indict, literally, 98-99% of the time. Indictments are based on probable cause and do not require defense counsel to present for the grand jury inquiry, however the indictment later reviewable in what we call a Gerstein hearing.
Given Powell's past legal arguments in court, I would suspect that the indictment being tossed for lack of probable cause is not out of the realm of possibility. Of course, in this scenario she would (presumably) be using DOJ lawyers, who can actually make good legal arguments. Regardless, given the intense political backdrop to all of this and prior failures in court, I think any indictment for election fraud by Powell would be heavily suspect in a post-indictment Gerstein hearing.
I know a bunch of us here are hopeful the DS' S is going to HTF, but how many have been following this laser pointer since the DNC leaks? shit's always just around the corner.
I'm hopeful, but my go bag is ready. Shit, even if the Swamp is about to get Drained, that doesn't mean my particular political views or opinions will be allowed a voice. DJT is still supportive of 5G and the treasonous "patriout" act gets reauthorized every fucking year.
In our little back and forth in the religion thread? Lol that’s funny, I have a fair few issues with this site technically and trying to navigate nested comments is definitely one of em.
And ya know, after I made that comment I looked at the thread we were in and realized you were probably talking about america, wooshed me before though. I don’t disagree with your points i guess i just disagree with your conclusion. I think a better world is possible, do you?
And just to turn your point around, wouldn’t being a “realist” require you to have achieved the things you claimed impossible in our backnforth? Like having the mental acuity to tell “real” from “not real” with any success?
"a better world" is not only possible but certain. Cycles demand it to say nothing of the sheer damned size of it.
Ok we overlap more than I thought. These cycles we live through, are they solely of the material or is there anything immaterial to them? For example why should the precession of the equinoxes have been so well studied by our ancestors if it has no means of affecting them?
What are we to do now? It's pretty clear that just like the stock market has no basis in the actual economy , our "elected" officials have no connection whatsoever to the electorate.
Wouldn't Sidney Powell need security clearance to perform the duties of a special council if appointed by AG? That, in itself, would take weeks.
If it's just some symbolic position created by the White House, she could probably just get a title and keep doing what she's already been doing. I think she's fucking hilarious, but she's literally done nothing but sue in various jurisdictions and lose or have her cases tossed due to lack of evidence. I'd almost welcome the "appointment" for the comedic value alone.
The acting AG, Rosen is as dirty as a broom. I’d be surprise to see anything from him

who said he's a trustworthy source?
Also, this is speculation, not a claim, so why bring "trust" into a conversation about speculation?
I get you're pushing a certain narrative here, but it's starting to get old.
In what way do we live in a corpse? The dead and controlled internet? The poisoned earth? A universe fated to heat death?
I called you a nihilist before and you rejected it but what’s a more accurate term?

We are doomed.
No and no.
