I suppose the other (devoutly to be wished) possibility is that an appeals court (preferably not SCOTUS) can throw out the charges before it goes to trial. (If SCOTUS does it that’ll just inflame the polarized electorate further–unless some of the 3 liberals join the decision.)

Barr does worry about “the slippery slope of criminalizing legitimate political activity,” but doesn’t explain what the distinction is that puts this case at the top of the slope and makes it OK.

Why does it seem so clear:
1) DC jury will still convict
2) Appeals court (SCOTUS, if necessary) will overturn;
3) We will have the insanely polarized election Biden (and nobody else) wants. https://t.co/EfaD1mQrvO— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

True, the article doesn’t mention reparations. But it doesn’t mention any specific issues, really– just that the White Stripe Dems’ pitch will be “targeted messaging and pinpoint engagement.” OK!

This is a good idea. I assume Biden will put a stop to it. 1) Newsom might make him and Kamala look bad; 2) He’s now committed to a polarized election–Biden vs. Trump + the Deniers. DeSantis might seem reasonable. He wants to run against a weakend Trump, no? https://t.co/TkHqR6VyOf
