  1.  @ecstanton  kind of an inane stmt, no? The whole pt of democracy is that it's participatory and the only grift-proofing is bcuz of that, THUS ppl need to participate and to promote the institutions that are fundamental and independant from the elected officials such as president and congress: e.g. DOJustice. Today's new-rightist conservatives are literally actively promoting subversion of the independence and integrity of the DOJ and related agencies like FBI. They are trying to sew doubt to try to delegimatize the org's, as if like a Maoist or Stalinist purge is desired. These are dangerous antiamerican folks who have hijacked the GOP and it needs to stop, or there will be a need for constitutional ammendents related to preventing political parties from ever pulling this shist again!

  2. i doubt that it's 'as likely' ie 50/50, i think there are far higher odds that the proceedings will be the illumination of the outline of facts that finally makes it clear there was a treasonous criminal conspiracy to defraud around 80 million voters who voted for other than DJT. Only Scotus will be able to keep DJT out of prison if he is convicted, and i predict he will be. I lived in D.C and even took notes many times at congressional hearings. Incidentally D.C. fed courts are known to be good for the defendents actually, so DJT is very lucky the case is there, actually. Perfectly fair location, in the big scheme. Rural West Virginia would NOT be his peers.
