Lauren you are correct; he is dangerous AND pathetic. See, HCR's last paragraph. Many anchors & readers of Judge Merchan's "Decision and Order" missed the important Court findings of fact.
Pay attention to the decisions and the Judge's findings. Judge Merchan recited the Defendant's necessary intent to commit crimes (mens rea). The former president can be charged with those crimes particularly if the worst happens.
Per the Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute (LLI) when a New York Judge rules on a Motion ( expanding the Gag Order) Judge Merchan does NOT need to state his findings or conclusions. NY Rule 52(a)(3).
But, Judge Merchan DID state his findings of fact & his conclusions. The Defendant has not & will not in my opinion challenge th sufficiency of the Court's evidence.
I agree with Andrew Weissmann; do not wait for the worst. Move forward with a Criminal counts now.
I generally agree with Weismann. I don't know law beyond 30 years fandom of Law and Order, but it's common sense that TFG has inspired violence from the guy stalking Obama, to the one sending anthrax to his hit list, to the guy that shot up the FBI office, to the woman that threatened Chutkan, not to mention Jan 6. That orange fizzie opens his yap and the minions open fire. That repulsive tub o lard is in desperate need of a trachea full of sock, preferably dirty sweaty gym sock. Anyone with the power to turn off the flood of lies, venom, and invective please step up and shut him the f _k up.
That's what I used to tell Jurys,"Listen to all the facts & follow the Law as instructed by this Court" ( then gesture with deference to the Judge and say) " ... follow your Common Sense."
Common sense here is to proceed with the Criminal Trial in 13 days,. Meanwhile convene a Grand Jury & present all evidence including Judge Merchan's findings of fact.
What is scary is the drastic increase in threats to the judges and their families. Something like 70% of judges have accepted the US Marshal Services' offer of electronic security.
Haters gonna hate. I don't mean to be glib, Karen. My only thought is vote all the R's out of office. Big thumping defeats. Send them back to the minors (there's no hope of ever getting them out of our system completely).
