MilLey is not in charge of the military. The joint chiefs are an advisory body. The Co-Comms command the troops. Currently since Admiral Giladay resigned on Monday the navy, army and marines are under the command of senior officers. Senator Tommy Tuberville is blocking confirmation of new high command.

Now that you mention it…

When Judge Ito heard OJ, he had already been on the bench for over a decade, and had been a Supervising Judge in the downtown criminal court house. Is is an excellent jurist in every respect. There is no judge I know, and I know many, who would have done a better job.

OJ was a first of kind case. All judges have learned from that case.

While I sympathize with this judge - I’m sure he’s talented and will do his best - being a judge is very difficult. To master it, it takes lots training , experience and study. In Los Angeles, this case would be assigned to a judge on the 9th floor of the downtown criminal courts building which is specially set aside for these types of cases. The judge would be someone with 15-30 years experience who has demonstrated a mastery of the profession.

I wish the Atlanta judge good luck.

Mandella was in jail and there were civil rights
protest all over the world.

We are supposed to be a democracy, yet
where are the Republicans circling the wagons
and where are the civil rights protest, or
at least MAGA rallies at stadiums with protesting
speeches , I think that would shake the dems up

They don’t think they will be held responsible
because Bill Barr didn’t hold any FBI law violators
responsible. They all got to either keep their
jobs or retire with full benefits and no
charges.

There’s no R and D parties, there’s only us and them.

Publicly destroying some people is useful to control others.
It’s easier now with technology.
Cameras everywhere, phones (tracking devices) everywhere.
TVs and computers can be hacked and have cameras activated.
Files can be placed on your computer.

We are truly entering a dystopian future.

Automatic grounds for dismissal.

Definitely a lot of coincidences in all these cases…

The rumor is that the Georgia charges were coordinated with Smith's team. It makes sense because the grand jury convened months ago, even though they voted recently. If true, it will almost certainly come out. There are some honest people in our government still.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the two teams ended up with a racketeering charge?

You are correct about Judge Ito and his experience. It was a poor analogy. I do disagree about his pre-trial and trial opinions. The defense lawyers took advantage of him. I believe good defense lawyers can take advantage of a fresh judge.
