"The brief due Thursday (9/26) ā€“ which is expected to exceed 200 pages, including exhibits, and is meant to convince courts Trump should be prosecuted for alleged obstruction and conspiracy criminal activity ā€” is a rare avenue for evidence to be aired in court before a trial.

Chutkan of the DC District Court, in a six-page opinion, said she would allowĀ such an outsized briefingĀ because the Supreme Court, in its recent decision to give Trumpā€™sĀ actions whileĀ president immunity from prosecution, has directed her as the trial judge to look closely at facts in the case to decide ifĀ some allegationsĀ could moveĀ forward to trial."

    Justice will not happen. But at least details will be aired one more time and a spotlight on how dangerous he is will shine shortly before the election.

      Extremely sadly, if those details mattered anymore, we wouldnā€™t even have been talking about this guy in 2016 for more than a month or two.

      I guess thereā€™s a chance if something bad enough comes out. And I guess thereā€™s value in stuff being fresh in peoplesā€™ minds.
