      Yeah it’s a bit funny to fall back on the ‘rule of law saving the day’ in terms of this high-ranking government official when the hypothetical we’re discussing here is the judge letting off a separate high-ranking government official after he blatantly broke the law.

        The people involved in the prosecution know that they are more or less ending their careers with this. They won’t survive the next republican administration (and that may not be referring to just their careers…). That is why it has taken so long to build up these cases. Every single “i” is dotted and every single “t” is crossed and then some.

        They know how stacked the courts are and they aren’t going to let this be swept away without using every single legal trick they have.

        I am still not optimistic that any form of justice will be served. But it won’t be for lack of trying and this “revelation” that a corrupt judge can throw the case out has already been planned for.
