Trump wants the courts to help him sabotage the January 6 investigation

In part because of gerrymandering and in part because the party that controls the White House tends to lose seats in midterm elections, Republicans are favored to regain control of Congress in the next election. If they do, they can shut down the January 6 committee and quash any of its ongoing efforts to obtain Trump’s documents.The Supreme Court, in other words, doesn’t even need to overrule any existing precedents in order to carry Trump’s water in the Thompson case. All it has to do is run out the clock.

  1. So when the Democrats play politics or go to court to subvert democracy because they lost the election, well that's hunky dorey. But when Republicans do it, the very foundations of our civilization are at risk!
