Basically a criminal case has to be brought where the alleged crime took place. Since all the alleged criminal activities took place at Mar a Lago, the case needs to be brought in South Florida. Apparently the Special Counsel finally woke up had a south Florida grand jury issue the indictments. However what I don’t understand is how he could do this since most of the witnesses and documents were presented to a grand jury in DC. I looked it up and in fact the main grand jury was in DC. Now to be clear, I am anything but an expert in this area but I don’t see how testimony and documents presented to one gj can be used by another unless they read it all and it doesn’t appear that that happened here.

Like I said I’m not an expert and so I must be wrong about this because I haven’t heard any of the real experts raise this as an issue.

Now for the good news. Trump might actually get a fair trial. If I remember correctly RDS won in Miami and got either a strong minority or the majority of the Hispanic votes down there. Also since we are talking a criminal case, it only takes one vote to stop a guilty verdict. In that area it shouldn’t be too hard to find someone who immigrated from Cuba or Venezuela or Nicaragua who is very familiar with political persecution and would say no.

Additionally the same Trump judge that presided over the issues surrounding the raid and document disagreements is going to be the judge on this case and she issued a decisions favorable to Trump so again I think he can get a fair trial and will either be acquitted or get a hung jury and that would end it because before they could retry it Trump or some other Republican will be in the White House and fire Jack Smith.

I’ll rant over the weekend on the actual charges.
