    “You want us to litigate things that happened four years ago when we’re talking about the future."

    See, this would ring a lot more true if the issue wasn’t being literally litigated right now and going forward. As in, somebody just got sent to jail. Court documents about Trump’s outstanding criminal trial just got released.

    Yeah, people want you to litigate stuff that happened four years ago. And then for those responsible, Trump included, to go to jail for… you know, all the crimes. “I want to talk about the future” doesn’t play quite as well when the judge is asking you about those.

      And it would have been litigated already, at least a year ago, except for the GOP fuckery aiding the defense in their delay tactics.

      Oof. Well, pro tip for him - EVERYTHING ever litigated is for something that happened in the past. That’s how it works!
