I read the Op/Ed, but I'm not a lawyer so it is rather difficult to understand.

If I understand correctly, Smith extended a courtesy (early release of Grand Jury proceedings) before he knew would use try to use that information to intimidate witnesses.

How Biden’s debate performance could blow open the race

He needs to goad Trump to be Trump, while reassuring voters about his own fitness for another term.

I have strong doubts T**** will even end up doing any debates.

He has a LONG history of making (false) promises he has no intention/ability to keep, soaks up the praise, finds an excuse to not do it, and his Members rush to his defense for not following through ("It wasn't going to be fair!" or "they changed the rules!")

And the Media has yet to catch on.

Never released his taxes. Never deported 10M "illegals". Never built his Wall™. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkBpLTFt8uc

T**** has exposed a serious flaw in our system:

A criminal can openly sell their office (without shame) on behalf of their biggest donor(s), (ab)using their power to help that donor, argue they are "above the law" so there is no consequence, and then game the so they win despite getting fewer votes.

They called Bill Clinton a philanderer. Investigated Hillary for failing to stop an attack on a gov't building, & LockHerUp for a pvt email server.

Instead, it has worked out the opposite.

The leader of the GOP is spending another day in court. He's also another day closer to receiving classified intelligence briefings as the winner of the GOP nomination.

Trump didn't just steal 11,172 documents & LOST at least 45 , he also showed off intel to agents he invited into the Oval Office.

And this was after turning "Lock Her Up" into a meme b/c Hillary installed a private email server in her home (upon which NOT A SINGLE classified doc was found) and 1 DE-classified document on her phone. For this, she was pilloried as "too reckless with National Security secrets" to be president.

They live in such a bizarre fantasy world, it's no wonder they can't accept reality when their beloved Fuhrer loses. 🤦‍♂️

"if all the people in the venue area are included, they may be able to fit 10,000 people in there, but a crowd of 80,000-100,000 would be physically impossible."

One way I fight higher prices is that I do a lot more of my grocery shopping online and use the free pick-up service.

A huge time saver and I can compare prices between stores (take better advantage of "digital deals" & coupons) and not suddenly discover the store I'm in wants too much for a particular product. How often have I bought too many/few items to get the Kroger "buy5" discount?)

...and my dog can come with me to pick up my groceries (she loves rides in the car.) 😉

The claim that "other officials took " is simply not true.

Yes, other former presidents were found with documents "in their possession" after leaving office, but those items were taken by accident, packed by others along with personal belongings.

"Lock Her Up" was regarding Hillary installing a private email server in her home (upon which not a single classified doc was found), and a SINGLE DECLASSIFIED doc on her phone.
