He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.
Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”
Assuming the election goes in a positive direction, this might be the feds just letting him make his own bed… and hopefully, they throw the book at him afterwards. It’s of course a moot point if he wins, for a lot of reasons.
Edit: fwiw I don’t disagree with the pessimism. Justice delayed is justice denied.
It’s also moot if he dies. I’m really tired of the feds just letting him make his own bed.
Yeah, I agree, the amount of pussyfooting is un-fucking-believable
what book? The supreme court just ruled that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for anything that can be considered “official acts.” So nixon wouldn’t have to worry if he were president now.
This is the same genre as the people who insisted that Merrick Garland was just dotting his i’s and crossing his t’s before nailing Trump.
Oh please, 6they seem to be waiting for Trump to walk right into a prison cellt, lock himself in and throw away the key
This bs excuse has been peddled since 2016
If the election goes the right way we can have another 4 years of ccourthouse drama l. After which we will b back where we r today.
Oh fuck no that’s not it.
