First we were told DOJ can't prosecute a sitting President.
A year later it looks like DOJ won't prosecute a former President.
You have Trump on TAPE breaking a Federal law (52 U.S.C. 20511) and nothing is happening to him.
Why?

trump is a proven criminal--traitor, insurrectionist, conspirator, thief, rapist, on and on and on. He can't be allowed to get away with it. By not indicting him, rethuglicans have been emboldened to follow his lead. Its getting worse by the minute, because he is STILL encouraging the worst in people.

That doesn't bode well for the DOJ, makes them sound partisan

(49,002 posts)How many Sydney Powell's worth of crimes are tRump's crimes? More numerous? More consequential?
Are they harder to actually pin down? Saying "Walk to the Capitol, I'll be there with you" is pretty thin gruel. Garland has to go with something stronger.
Even though we know there is something stronger (the tape), we can't pin it down for "beyond a reasonable doubt" without a lot of work, special powers, and time.
And, do you know ALL the crimes tRump committed? In detail? And how they fit together?
As a practical matter, you can't prosecute him on one thing every month without Democrats quickly losing the perceptions of voters who would say "Oh, that's just persecution" and be a bit right about that.
I know, the long time has me wondering too.

enablers are gonna be exposed as the traitors they are. They're all going to prison, making Watergate
look like a small bump in the road and killing the R party in the process. IMHO
