, the former president trotted out the same tired line about the system being rigged that he seems to air whenever he loses, whether it’s a court case, an election, or even at the. For Trump and his allies, those complaints are generally reserved for judges and juries and voters when things don’t go his way. But that’s not how the law, or the rule of law, works.
Many of the lawyers who filed these lawsuits and developed the fake electors’ scheme have either been suspended, pleaded guilty to various crimes, and/or now face disbarment for their actions. Is there an example of a judge who Trump likes? Why, yes. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is certainly the type of judge Trump prefers.In that case, though, Trump has essentially bragged about having committed the offenses for which he is charged—and has argued that everything he did was totally legal. It is difficult to fathom how the matter has dragged out for so long.
There’s another case before the Supreme Court where speed is not in Trump’s interests. And there, the court is moving slowly, helping Trump, again, avoid another judgment day before Election Day.
