Concerns About Indicting Donald Trump
--- Quote ---
> On the justice front, it is often one two steps up, one step
back. Today feels like a "step back" day, as the New York Times
reported that the two lead prosecutors on the Trump Organization
criminal investigation resigned, reportedly in protest over the
new District Attorney Alvin Bragg's apparent reluctance to bring
charges against Donald Trump himself.
>
> This video discusses this unexpected and unusual development,
and what circumstances might be impacting DA Bragg's concerns
and views about the investigation.

> Arizona Governor Says He’d Rather Have a White Nationalist in
State Legislature than a Democrat
>
> Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey was questioned Thursday about his
efforts to get Wendy Rogers elected to the state senate in 2020,
and whether he has any regrets in light of how Rogers has been
promoting white nationalist causes.
> ...
> Rogers is scheduled to speak Friday at the America First
Political Action Conference (AFPAC), the Mirror reported last
week. AFPAC is an annual gathering of far-right figures
organized by white nationalist Nick Fuentes, whom Rogers has
praised in social media posts more than two dozen times,
according to Left Coast Right Watch, an extremist monitoring
group. Rogers promoted the event on Telegram last week, the
Daily Beast reported.
>
> Rogers has intertwined herself with the Q-Anon crowd, has
espoused racist “great replacement” theories, has called for
Christian theocracy, and is a member of the paramilitary group
the Oath Keepers. She is also a ‘Big Lie’ proponent, falsely
claiming that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.

More about Ducey:

--- Quote ---
> In August 2017, after violence by white nationalists at a
gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia, Ducey said in response
to a reporter's question that he had no interest in removing
Confederate monuments from public lands in Arizona.[57]
> ...
> After the 2020 presidential election, Ducey signed legislation
that purges voters from the vote-by-mail system unless they
voted by mail every two years. The bill was estimated to lead to
the immediate removal of 100,000 to 200,000 voters from the
vote-by-mail system.[134]

Why do you think?

> What HB 2413 actually would do, however, is to restore a
system that keeps Black people off juries.

> Essentially, a peremptory challenge allows an attorney to
strike a juror without having to give a reason.
> ...
> HB 2413 would restore those challenges in criminal trials.
>
> But the Arizona Supreme Court – not exactly known as a bastion
for liberal thinkers – seemed to believe the challenges were
being abused and decided to take the bold step of eliminating
them and requiring counsel to convince a judge there is just
cause to strike a juror.
>
> The system only went into effect in January and already
Republican lawmakers are trying to override it.
> ...
> research showed Black citizens are “at least twice as likely
as White people to be excluded from jury service.”

> I’d guess they’d say they want to return to the old rules in
order to keep Black citizens from the burdensome trauma of
having to deal with the justice system.

> Except as defendants, of course.

In other news, it's OK to be a "white" convict:

--- Quote ---
> A white former Kansas City, Missouri, police officer who faces
up to 19 years in prison after being convicted of killing a
Black man will remain free on bond after his sentencing.
> ...
> After a four-day bench trial in November 2021, found ex-cop
Eric DeValkenaere guilty of second-degree involuntary
manslaughter and armed criminal action in the 2019 killing of
Cameron Lamb, he has not spent one day in jail, KCUR reports.
>
> And according to Jackson County Circuit Judge Dale Youngs, who
convicted DeValkenaere of the crime in a bench trial and allowed
him to stay out of jail on a $30,000 bond, says he will not have
to endure incarceration even after his sentencing on Friday,
March 4, because Youngs ruled this week that the ex-cop can
remain free while he appeals his conviction.

It's OK for cities to be "white":

> COBB COUNTY, Ga. (AP) — In the 2020 election, Jerica
Richardson and two other Black women gave Democrats control of
the commission overseeing this affluent suburban Atlanta county
for the first time in decades.
>
> Now, the Republican-controlled state Legislature has passed
bills that would give three largely white parts of the county a
chance to form their own governments during Georgia's primary
elections ahead of the midterms.
>
> The new cities would take over key parts of the county's
decision-making power. Two of them would be in Richardson's
district, which GOP lawmakers have also reconfigured in a way
that draws her out of her seat.
> ...
> Two of the cityhood efforts reflect a “pattern of backlash
against the election of three Black women to the Cobb
commission,” said State Rep. Mary Frances Williams, a Cobb
County Democrat.
> ...
> Cobb County has become more diverse in recent decades, with
non-Hispanic white residents making up just over 51% of the
population today, compared with more than 85% in 1990. But in
the area that would become East Cobb, white residents would
represent more than 70% of the population, according to county
estimates. Vinings and Lost Mountain would also have a
significantly higher percentage of white residents than the
county as a whole. Those two cities' median incomes would exceed
$110,000, compared with $78,000 for the county.
