Give it time. I don't foresee another continuance to switch counsel. Though frustrating, it appears the district court is making a solid record to blunt any future claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. Frustrating, but the conviction is still likely to happen.
She's just going to keep switching out teams of lawyers indefinitely to delay the trial. Stay tuned, she's going to go though tons of them until Trump reseizes power and pardons her. Frankly I can see him eventually taking the same tactic himself.
Even if Donald Trump somehow got reelected, how could he pardon somebody convected of a crime in a Colorado state court?
My mistake, I assumed they were federal and not state charges.
She would probably ask him to do so, and he would issue something in writing purporting to be a pardon.
While it would have no legal effect since she faced state charges, the MAGAts would claim it is valid in much the same way that they claim that Biden's election was invalid.
I don't see the judge letting her do it again. At some point, the court will be able to present her with "go to trial with this counsel, or go to trial without counsel." But the court needs to create a good record justifying that drastic step. Based on my reading of everything to date, I think the court has done that and that this case will go to trial at the end of July.
If the judge were to revoke her bail, perhaps she could be convinced to stop stalling.
Duke, that often is an incentive for a defendant to go to trial.
And with Tina and her penchant for doing whatever the hell she wants to do when she wants to do it and how she chooses to do it – regardless of the terms of her bond – there is a t least a real possibility that she will have her bond revoked at some point and put in jail.
I am so tired of the stalling. I hope any further stalls result in bond being revoked.
C-word
And it is not a term of endearment
Excellent open letter to Dave Williams from election experts from the sane wing of the Republican Party.
"We expect better from the leadership of the Colorado Republican Party," REALLY? Are they fucking blind?
I'm pretty sure they don't expect Dave Williams (and most MAGAts) to read it, much less act on it. They wrote it for a broader audience to signal that not every current or former Republican in a position of authority is nuts, and that they can trust our elections, and not to fall for Williams' nonsense.
I don' doubt that was the point however sending it to the Colorado Republican Party is a worthless gesture. Unless they plan on running that "Open Call" in every newspaper, on t.v, internet, hell…mailer…the message was kinda useless. As you said, Williams and the MAGATs aren't going to read it and if they do they'll blow it off. They're in charge. They don't give a shit. If the open call people want to reach the actual people who vote, doing it through the CRP is not the way.
It was an OP-ED in today’s Denver Post. The link is included in my initial comment
