Snyder is "doing a Trump." He is pulling every stunt in the book AND i might add on the taxpayer's dime. The fault here lies with The Judge. It is upto the judge to set the tone and get on with "a speedy trial."
Ah, come on, this is nothing but a little dirty water, right? Snyder spent $2 million for new pipes after people were poisoned, but, that should set everything straight. Right?
I think he should have done that BEFORE people were poisoned, like when the GM plant notified everyone of their rusty engines.
That is an amazing aspect of this tragedy. (click here) Anyone have an idea of what it takes to rust a brand new GM engine? It takes alot. Aluminum (click here) used in engines corrodes. Corrosion happens with chemical exposure, not from water. There were trucks that made it into the public. GM didn't catch them all. At least that is the impression I had. It was probably addressed under warranty.

Just got a brand new 2015 Sierra 5.3L (click here) not long ago, and was looking it over the other day and noticed this part of the engine that doesn't look "new"
Looks like its rusty and out of place? Or am I crazy?
The point the Flint Water was full of chemicals, not just lead. The Flint water crisis started on April 25, 2014. The Rachel Maddow Show brought the realityof the Flint residents to the country. I believe that was the December 19, 2015 Show. That is a lot of poisoning. But, as to GM, the 2015 trucks were already on the road by the time owners heard about the crisis. So, there were probably some engines that passed through before GM noticed the corrosion.

Media swarms around Gov. Rick Snyder to ask him questions about the Flint water crisis after he toured skilled trades programs on Monday, June 6, 2016 at Mott Community College in Flint. Snyder said the state reimbursed the city $2 million for reconnecting to Detroit for the water supply, which was pegged to replace lead lines for at least 400 homes. The city has had the funds for an estimated two month for infrastructure replacement, but has been slow to use the funds. "We provided the resources some time ago," Snyder said. Hopefully they will get good proposals back and they can start moving forward." Flint officials started accepting request for proposals for Flint Mayor Karen Weaver's Fast Start program replacing lead lines throughout the city.
Flint - A spokesman for the legal team representing former Gov. Rick Snyder (click here) against criminal charges tied to the Flint water crisis says not to expect a trial until at least 2024.
Spokesman Jason Brown made the comment in a larger statement issued by Snyder’s attorneys on the one-year anniversary of the announcement of grand jury indictments against the former governor, seven other former state government officials and Flint’s former director of its Department of Public Works.
Brown said the prosecution, led by Michigan Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, “is at a complete standstill” with little progress having been made.
“Even the most basic question as to whether the charges were properly filed in the city of Flint, rather than the city of Lansing, remains unresolved,” the statement says “The prosecution has made serious missteps with the handling of documents seized through search warrants and two judges have directed them to stop reviewing or disseminating documents to the various defendants....
