Every day that goes by on Trump’s absolute immunity claim w/o a decision, is a victory for #Trump. His strategy is to #delay. That way he can dismiss all federal charges against him if he wins.
“Donald Trump really thinks he’s above the law. He really does. And this should be disqualifying for anyone who wants to be president of the United States.” (VP Kamala Harris)
How can a convict who tries to tear down the legal system assume the presidency, which requires an oath to enforce the laws?
#MerrickGarland: Unfounded attacks on the #Justice Dept must end #ConspiracyTheories, falsehoods & threats of #violence against #DOJ personnel are not normal. Last wk, a California man was convicted of threatening to bomb an #FBI field office where hundreds of agents & other employees work. In one of his #threats to the FBI, the man wrote: “I can go on a mass murder spree. In fact, it would be very explainable by your actions.”
The GA Court of Appeals on Wed ordered a halt to the proceedings in the election interference case against Trump & 8 co-defendants pending the outcome of their appeal seeking to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney #FaniWillis.
On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.
The drive analyzed for The Washington Post lacked a clear chain of custody, & was considered "a mess" & "a disaster" from a forensic standpoint by the 2 analysts.
“The clash between the wife of a conservative #SCOTUS justice & a couple…in their 30s & liberal…played out over months….the…shouting match…at the height of tensions over the #2020election…might have happened in any mixed political community in America.”
#Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said Thurs he was pardoning #DanielPerry, the fmr Army sergeant convicted in the fatal shooting of a protester during a #BLM march, after a review board recommended he be released from prison.
As I was unable to do a #TrumpTrial 🧵 today, here’s a #GiftArticle on the day’s proceedings:
“After 2 wks of enthralling jurors w/stories of sex & scandal, prosecutors delved into the documents at the heart of Trump’s #criminal trial on Mon, a pivotal turn in the case that came on the same day the judge held #Trump in #contempt & threatened to #jail him.”
>2 decades ago, the shocking results of a major women’s #health study challenged the safety of menopause #hormone medication, & overnight, millions of #women & their #doctors abandoned the drugs….
Now, a long-term follow-up of the #WomensHealth Initiative (WHI)…found that for many younger menopausal women—under 60—the benefits…outweigh the risks for short-term treatment of symptoms, incl’g hot flashes & night sweats.
A landmark study that scared women & doctors
The importance of the #WHI & its impact on #WomensHealth can’t be overstated. The study enrolled >160k postmenopausal #women between the ages of 50 & 79. But in 2002, part of the study’s #menopause hormone trial was abruptly stopped after monitoring data suggested that women in the hormone group had an increased #health risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, pulmonary embolism & breast cancer.
