Anyone threatened with any jail time is going to get pardoned by Trump.

Courts are not going to help you. They haven't for a long time. Wake up.

This is good to know. I will assume that those in power will take action. Whew! /s

[–] meldroc@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Sounds good to me. About the only way to make it stick is to arrest Trump and hold him in a cage where he belongs, but that has its own complications...

I wonder who Judge Boasberg will hire as Special Prosecutor?

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some feckless Republican insider who feigns doing the work and drags it out long enough for Trump to escape accountability?

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Doubt that.

He's not going after Trump here. He can't. He's going after anyone else ignoring his legal orders though.

Adam Kinzinger would be a good choice, but maybe too political.

Edit: I also lay the DoJ's ineffectiveness to properly deal with Trump squarely at the feet of Biden & Garland.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. Garland was the Republican insider that scuttled the case for Trump. I dunno man. My cynicism is at its maximum. I wish I could allow myself to have hope that the right thing happens.

Can't pardon contempt. Boasman can literally jail everyone involved with ignoring his injunction except Trump. Used to be indefinitely, but I think that was capped.

Boasman can also deputize citizens if the Marshal service decides they don't want their jobs anymore.
