If I call the FBI hot line and report a suspected sex trafficking ring in my neighbor's house, wouldn't they send someone to talk to me, send someone to investigate? If there is nothing there then drop the investigation.

Do you have the FBI number handy?

They seem hysterical to defend inaction.

(Yes, I know. We all just need to be patient. Meanwhile the retired generals are talking about a civil war.)

Someone's blasting out this meme for a reason & its not those who are saying, let him do the job he's expertly qualified for & was specifically chosen for.

Who wants this investigation stopped, is a better question that deserves an answer.

I'll wait...

all former elite DOJ officials are saying that DOJ is not investigating the Big Fish. That's who I listen to, not people here. I am certain that those people I named still have contacts in DOJ.

Your question is a Catch 22 like have you stopped beating your wife? Every damn person who invaded the Capitol should be charged with a crime, most are not or are given light sentences. Numerous judges are complaining that DOJ prosecutors are not asking for stiff enough sentences.

Can I ask you a question? Do you believe that every person who invaded the Capitol should be charged with a crime? I'll wait...

I don't think that people understand that our democracy is hanging by a thread, once we lose it, it will be gone for generations.

I do commend NY and Georgia for taking on Trump. It certainly appears that Cy Vance made a good move when he brought Pommerance into the case. I applaud Letitia James for bringing the civil case against Trump. I applaud the Fulton county DA for investigating Trump.

I don't want less investigations I want more. The notion of impeaching Garland is counterproductive.

President Biden has been doing a fantastic job. The road to a long journey starts with the first step. The first step is to investigate every person who was involved in the attack on our democracy, every person. If we don't hold the funders, planners and top people accountable, they will do it again.

Fitzmas was Republican propaganda that Democrats have to smear candidates to win. A crime was committed and it was investigated. Investigating the outing of a covert CIA agent was not some attempt to smear Republicans. I'm talking about Valerie Plame.

A lot of Bush administration people should have been prosecuted but were not.

We were all banking on Fitzgerald to put away Bushco.
Sadly, we were mistaken.
Not sure where you found that it was republican propaganda about smearing candidates.
