"Okeydoke"

The judge presiding over the Georgia grand jury investigation (click here) into possible election interference by Donald Trump and his allies on Monday denied a motion from Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) to quash a subpoena requiring him to testify.
However, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert C.I. McBurney also delayed Kemp’s appearance before the grand jury until “some date soon after” Election Day in November. Kemp, who is running for reelection against Democrat Stacey Abrams, has alleged that the investigation is politically motivated.
McBurney had previously expressed skepticism over arguments from Republicans that the prosecution, led by a Democratic district attorney, was politically motivated.
“It is not my space” to focus on politics, McBurney said last week as lawyers for Kemp argued that the subpoena had already become a political issue this election season. “I don’t think it is the right forum” to debate the political ramifications of the case, said the judge....
Really?
Must every legal DELAYING maneuver be tried by the people that should be cooperating? Seriously? What kind of lawyers are these that don't even try something legally that will work? They are criminal in their purpose and content.
Lawyers when they receive a license takes an oath.
Atlanta, April 22, 2002
The Honorable Supreme Court met pursuant to adjournment. (click here)
The following order was passed:
The order entered by this Court on April 8, 2002, amending the Rules Governing Admission to the Practice of Law is hereby vacated. It is further ordered that the Attorney’s Oath, found in the Rules Governing Admission to the Practice of Law, Part B, Section 16, be amended to read as follows:
I, ________________, swear that I will truly and honestly, justly and uprightly conduct myself as a member of this learned profession and in accordance with the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct, as an attorney and counselor, and that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Georgia. So help me God.
I realize oaths and state and federal constitutions don't mean anything to people like Kemp and Graham, but, this is such nonsense. For those involved with Trump that have a law license, there needs to be complaints brought to the state law agencies to file at the very least ethics complaints.
...The legal maneuvering is the latest sign of tension between prosecutors and high-profile witnesses in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s expansive criminal probe of alleged election interference by Trump and his allies....
Even the Washington Post recognizes for what it is. Let me add a few words to that, evasion and fraud. Every person involved with Trump knows they are pulling stunts and not practicing law. The judge in his instance made it clear there is no politics in his court. So, with that, legal remedies need to be sought in every state these bozos are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of voters. They are practicing politics rather than submitting to the law. That in any other court would not be tolerated, as it isn't here, but, at what point are licenses pulled and fines levied for DELAYING the right of the people to try those breaking the law?
The Sixth Amendment to the USA Constitution guarantees all those charged with crimes a speedy trial. When does the right to a speedy trial also satisfy "the people."
It is no different than Big Tobacco and the State of California. It isn't just what is in question, it is what is gained.

Win or lose, (click here) tobacco companies are reaping hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to a California proposition that they spent a fraction of that amount to get on this fall’s ballot.
The measure, known as Proposition 31, asks voters if a 2020 legislative ban on flavored tobacco products, including electronic and menthol cigarettes, should be upheld.
But here’s the thing: The No on Prop. 31 campaign secured a nearly two-year pause on the ban when it collected 623,000 signatures to force the Legislature’s handiwork to a vote in the next general election. That delay cost Big Tobacco about $20 million, half paid to a signature-gathering firm.
Qualifying a referendum on the ban cleared the way for manufacturers to continue selling flavored tobacco products to Californians, including everything from mango-flavored vape pens to menthol cigarettes, until voters weigh in this November....
