Allan Wiesman, on MSNBC a few minutes ago laid it out well. 11th is the option for Smith to take right now that will get the case re-asigned. FINALLY!

I believe that was Jack’s plan all along-since the first set of delays revealed the breadth of her fandom, anyway. And revealed her absolute lack of experience for a case like this. I don’t think Jack takes ANYTHING lying down.

We're counting on that. I remember well the high hopes we mistakenly had with Mueller. We all thought we knew what he would do and he was a straight down the line, less is more and nobody was happy.

He's smart; he has strategies. It will move on somehow.

Still won't matter if Trump wins again. This case will be thrown right out the window for good. We cannot let that happen.

Well, duh, Mary. We have our work cut out for us and WE have the power, if we use it. One thing that is simple for a start is to call the DNC @ (202) 863-8000

and tell them loudly to cut out the crap and start campaigning SERIOUSLY for Biden before it's too late. Back the GOTV orgs that reach the young and never voted w/$$ It all helps. Despair does'nt.

Please don't be derisive (Well, duh) or dismissive of others' choices (watching TV to escape). This comments section is one of the few places of refuge for people who feel demoralized by what the US has become. Let's not demoralize each other. Thanks.

So, Dee, did anyone make you CommentCop? I didn’t find Ransom’s

Oh Duh very offensive. We are all on the same page… and we use our derisiveness only for the Right.

You know, some of us grew up in different times and when you "well, duh" to someone, the message is, 'Well, that was stupid and obvious." So Dee is correct. And it's interesting that in order to chastise Dee as a CommentCop, isn't that jsut exactly what you just did? Just saying. Everybody's nerves are frayed. We've all been going thru this for almost eight years now, counting when Trump somehow got himself elected. I'm taking it as blowing off steam for now.

So back at ya, Ransom. You play rough. And yes, I guess if you read my comment again, that's exactly what I just said, in a whole lot fewer words.

Alan Weisman also said Jack Smith could start all over again with a US Attorney in Florida. That way, he'd avoid being appealed to Supreme Corrupted Court.
