The Nooses Are Tightening

By Baxter

Wow! Eight of the 16 fake Trump electors from Georgia have accepted immunity deals from Fulton County DA Fani Willis — which might explain why developments on that front have taken this long to unfold.

And that's just one of the many pieces of Trump-related news to break lately — none of them good for Benedict Donald.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is broadening his investigation into the Mar-a-Lago documents case — sending subpoenas to everyone in sight — and zeroing in on potential alterations to the MAL security videos. The Proud Boys were convicted on Thursday of seditious conspiracy. And Trump has mounted no defense in the E. Jean Carroll civil rape trial. In fact, the video of his October deposition in the Carroll case became public today, and it's just as disgusting as you'd expect. ("You wouldn't be a choice of mine, either," Trump said to Carroll attorney Roberta Kaplan, an openly out lesbian. Hilarious!)

Add to that the fact that Smith is investigating Trump's dealings with the Saudis, and Donald has just passed another terrible week. (And maybe Ron DeSantis shouldn't feel so sanguine, either.)

Dear readers, things are moving. Yes, it takes time, but would you rather have these investigations go fast, or be accurate? We vote for accurate. All these traitors, from the January 6 insurrectionists to Trump, have to be held accountable — and the American model of due process, even if it's a bit clunky for 24-hour cable TV, continues to be the envy of the world. Let's keep it that way. We cats PURR.
