If you thought he was rambling * on childcare, wait until you hear his defence again E Jean Carroll and other women today.

* He calls it the weave, English professors compliment him on it all the time apparently.

“They come up to me and say:’Sir, you are the most brilliant orator in history. Churchill can’t hold a candle to your brilliant use of English’”
 
Merchan’s sentencing of Trump for his 34 felony convictions is now officially delayed until after the election. On the basis that it could be politically prejudicial to sentence him now. It seemed sadly inevitable and now it’s come to pass.

I’ll tell you what is politically prejudicial, being found guilty of 34 crimes relating to election interference by a jury of your peers. I didn’t realise running for office was such a sure way of delaying every course of legal action against you, it’s the ultimate loophole, just keep running in different elections and you can never be sentenced.

The way the US legal system bends over backwards to accommodate a proven criminal is as baffling as it is troubling. The judge should not at any point be considering or even mentioning the election when coming to this decision, a future election is entirely irrelevant to the serving of justice for past actions.

Their whole judicial system is horribly broken.

Yes, thought exactly the same. He said Ukraine shouldn’t have happened, and would have been avoided (in his watch), without the interviewer probing the reasoning and the gateway for that. Trump, of course, wouldn’t have answered that, and would have talked around it, but a robust and effective interviewer would have pinned him down at that point.

Did you threaten to overrule him?

My opinion is that if anything the proceedings should be accelerated rather than postponed, specifically to make sure that those voting know whether he was guilty or not. We should know as well as anyone, given the charges against the club, that the media can use outstanding charges to paint whatever narrative they want, either positive or negative.

I couldn’t agree more. I might be naive but I like to think in most European countries this type of thing would be labeled as a “matter of public interest” and pushed through in the shortest agreeable timeline.

There’s a lot of flaws in UK democracy, but we do have inquiries and committees where the PM has to sit and be uncomfortably grilled. Even PM’s questions is an attempt at forcing some kind of accountability (though it’s not effective). All because it’s deemed to be in the public interest. In the US, is the president ever questioned? Are they ever compelled to follow a judicial procedure? Doesn’t seem like it.

We’ve got an inquiry ongoing into our government’s covid response. The Trump administration bungled that worse than anybody but will they ever be dragged in front of a committee to explain why they had the president on stage suggesting people ingest bleach? No, of course not.

Sad state of affairs. America is the land where the most powerful are just allowed to do what they want completely unobstructed.
