35. I have been contemplating this part of the issue...

Since yesterday.

I think the SC has a long game that is not easily discerned. With my apprentice level legal knowledge I am seeing some possibilities that may be underlying strategy that extends beyond some speculations made in prior comments here.

It might be that SC has a way to deal with a number of crimes in each case brought before the court. There is obviously a problem with the judge on the case as she has exhibited bias in blatantly unjust rulings. So this may be one way to get her to slit her own throat in a hurry and create a side case for her impeachment or possible arrest in a RICO case*. That's one possibility.

Or, maybe he is expecting her to blow it right off the bat and will have the 11th Circuit replace her or he could move the case to DC which would not be as advantageous.

Or the 11th Circuit could issue warnings to her to not fuck this up or there will be sanctions for her.

And then...

Even if she tanks this case there will be such an uproar that she will be hounded into oblivion if she isn't removed from the bench entirely. Not that this could be a good thing but it could be used to SC's advantage in the upcoming J6 indictments because that is going to be a "wake up Jethro" event. That case will very likely include a number of people in office at all levels and will have tributary cases for those not widely known but participants all the same.

How? It is possible that the biased in the judiciary could be outed in that case, I can only imagine how far it could go but I suspect that there will be some surprises as to how far it actually will go. I expect the federalist society to catch some legal hell at some point. This could promote a major restructuring of how we govern ourselves in a good way. But the boil must be lanced and drained first.

A few things that give me hope is that SC has a good working knowledge of what has been happening here from the outside for quite a while. Americans are often the last to know about some of our serious issues. He is well aware with whom and what he is dealing. And I think he will run intellectual circles around these criminals and help them expose themselves for what they are and what they intend for the rest of us.

I only lament two things though one may come about in the J6 case... that it will take time and that this isn't a capital crime. Maybe what comes out in the J6 trial is the charge of treason, that'll do it.

Just some thoughts. Mr. Smith plays the long game and he's probably an intellectual giant compared to these clowns and the paltry legal representation they can muster.

Just some thoughts that kind of formed a hypothesis of sorts.







*Should this be part of a RICO case, I could see it encompassing her overlords in the federalist society as conspirators and actuaries who shepherd these hacks into position and fund the efforts to subvert our legal system.
