He's laid up with some kind of medical issue at his assignment over in Netherlands IIRC. Saw the story on it today when I was on the fly....can't find it now.

1. But, but, but, it will not delay things.

[RockRaven]

3. *taps head* Can't delay things

that weren't gonna happen anyway.

[onecaliberal]

5. Had the same thought.

[MerryHolidays]

2. There are tons of people working on these cases

Regardless of where he physically is or his physical condition is, any lawyer worth their salt can quickly catch up with things.

In other words, so what?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

6. Apparently some people have never heard of e-mail

Or phones.

[iemanja]

10. Because sick people love nothing more than to spend all day on the phone

Face it, your claim that there would be no delay was inaccurate.

[onenote]

17. Because recovering from knee surgery doesn't interfere with one speaking on the phone, doing zoom

meetings, reading emails, etc.


Face it, your claim that there will be a delay is inaccurate.

4. Oh, grand.

7. No Rush nt

[LexVegas]

8. What's the hurry? nt

[iemanja]

9. That can't be

I was assured--had it insisted adamantly--that there would be no delay.

11. At this point what the hell is another 2 years.

12. Yes they said

he needs to heal first. Then of course there will be a couple of months or so while he gets staffed up. Then a few more months while they get the records of the investigation so far. Then a few more months while they familiarize themselves with where things stand. Then of course there will be several more months of court filings by all manner of persons and organizations challenging even having a Special Counsel and any requests/subpoenas. Then several more months of appeals of each filing. Then several months more for Supreme Court reviews. After that then I'm sure the Special Counsel process will continue the gruelingly complicated process of trying to understand every nuance of whether the Orange Ruski took classified documents he wasn't entitled to and then lied about whether they were all given back. I mean after all he gets the benefit of the doubt and kid glove treatment because after all it's not like he has a long history of lying and swindling people.

16. Good summary of things to come.

Like you, I am underwhelmed with the special prosecutor news.

[Grasswire2]

13. recovering from surgery following a bicycle accident.

Current location the Hague.

[LudwigPastorius]

14. !

[Irish_Dem]

15. The only person capable of doing the job happens to be on the sick/injured list?

How convenient.

[bigtree]

18. too bad there isn't some sort of remote device that he can access

...to begin familiarizing himself with the case.

Too, too bad.
