The first debate in just two weeks. Then the calendar thereafter littered with debates and caucuses, primaries and convention. Does that mean that trump should not be tried before the election . No. The cases should proceed as they would were the candidate not a president ial candidate. They should not be postponed because of the election, in which he has chosen to run. But nor should they be expedited. I have noted here before that theres a long and Noble Tra Jigs at doj of not wanting to act in a way that might be perceived as political. Five recent attorneys general, republicans ask democrats, have all signed the same memo affirm lg the importance of keeping politics out of criminal charges. A republican in 2008, eric holder in 2012 and Loretta Lynch in 2016, bill barr in 2020 and mek garland just last year, they have all used the same language, include ing this paragr quote, simply put, politics must play no role in the decisions the federal investigators or prosecutors regarding a

Saturation level over the weekend. Meantime Top Democrats are blasting what they say are mixed messages on President Trumps health. Chuck schumer accusing the president of not being truthful about his condition. The president says he has learned a lot. President trump it has been a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about covid. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. Those statements about the the chief and i work sidebyside and i think his statement was misconstrued. It came off that we were trying to hide something. That wasnt necessarily true. And so he is the fact of the matter is he is doing really well. We have to have confidence in the judgment of the doctors who are treating him. When they give a presentation to the press it has to be approved by the president. Thats not very scientific.
