Am I the only one who is starting to feel like TFG and his band of accomplices are going to escape..

[usaf-vet]

.... punishment?

Every day I read DU, and every day there are posts about how TFG has thumbed his nose at us all AGAIN. Today it is the 7 hours of missing records during the peak of the insurrection.

Last week it was the two DA in New York resigning in protest. And the DA Bragg(?) hinting he will not prosecute.

The constant thread about where is Garland? Good Question! Let's not forget the Mueller investigation (LOL).

Then I look at the punishment NOT being dealt out to the Jan 6th insurrectionist. Hell, I got more punishment from my high school principal than some of these lawbreakers seem to get.

Then there is General Flynn, who swore an oath that he has ignored. Experts say he could be recalled to active duty and punished under the UCMJ. Why hasn't he?

And I can see the clock ticking away.

I'm waiting for the day when the Jan 6th investigators tell us we have ALL the data we need BUT not enough time to bring the perps to justice.

The only consistent thing in my world is the daily flood of emails "we need your opinion" surveys..... no they don't; it's just a hook to ask for money. 90% + I don't even know who they are that NEEDS my donation.

SORRY FOR THIS RANT. I had to ask.

1. I don't, the bigger issue is timing. If GZP gets back control of congress that's the end of

... the investigations into him

[rso]

6. Trump

The end of Congressional investigations, but DOJ will be under democratic control at least until 1/2025. Also, if we lose the House but keep the Senate, the House 1/6 Committee can be reconstituted as a Senate Commitee.

[MOMFUDSKI]

26. Oh, so we have

a DOJ? Who knew?

[rso]

30. DOJ

What can I tell you ?. DOJ is the only entity at the federal level with the authority to prosecute.

[Firestorm49]

18. The American people need to believe in equal and fair

justice for ALL. At this point far too many of us are scratching our heads in utter disbelief at the apparent apathy or at the least dismally slow pace of the DOJ and SDNY.

2. I'm not the only one this JUST posted on DU

3. Starting to feel??? (nt)

[MissMillie]

25. Yeah... it's been my feeling all along.

It's kind of like the wish one makes when they blow out the candles on their birthday cake. It'd be super nice if the wish came true, but you know that the odds are against it.

[Cosmocat]

4. That has been my feeling all along

I mean, outside of Nixon being forced to resign (not criminal justice) they never are held accountable.

I would have loved or would love to be wrong ...

[Stinky The Clown]

5. You are NOT alone.

I am another. Even in the face of the the choruses of “give it time”

[Effete Snob]

9. Give it Time

[CrispyQ]

7. You're not alone.

The DU community is pretty much split between those who have faith & those who don't. I don't have faith, but I'm holding out hope. Timing is important, since Americans have such short attention spans, but very soon the GOP will start screaming that it's too close to an election for political public hearings. I hope our side doesn't delay again.

[lagomorph777]

8. I don't know how many are STARTING to feel that way.

Many of us have LONG felt that way.

[GopherGal]

15. My thoughts exactly.

I have a hunch it will be left to Their Noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster to carry out justice in the reheated-life.

[twodogsbarking]

10. It he ain't going to prison then it is all a waste of time.

[MOMFUDSKI]

27. Some talking head on my TV machine

said the orange one would NEVER go to jail due to the fact that he has lifetime security and that just would not work.

[stevil]

11. I'm with you....

Bread and Circuses. Trump got a deal to stay out of jail for thew time being, perhaps the rest of his life.

[SoonerPride]

12. I have felt this for 20 years.

I knew he was a crook decades ago.

He has never been held to account.

I don't expect that to change now.

or ever.

[Sherman A1]

13. Starting?

I have always been sure that such would be the case.

[Sneederbunk]

14. If no charges are filed by the 2022 elections, it's a done deal. Not going to happen.

[LizBeth]

16. I think AG has made it clear for a while now.

[MOMFUDSKI]

28. The 1/6 Committee

met last night and it was televised. MANY of the committee BEGGED DOJ to DO SOMETHING. It was horrifying.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. Starting to feel?

Count me among the many who's been convinced for a long time that nothing will happen to the instigators.

Oh, a few or maybe even a few dozen of those who actually participated in the insurrection will be punished, but lightly at best. Those who plotted and encouraged it? Meh.

[Miguelito Loveless]

19. No, you are not alone

They are all going to walk.

[TheRealNorth]

20. Don't forget the Republicans that got caught committing voter fraud....

And all they got was community service or a small fine despite purposely trying to commit fraud. But if you are a black person on parole that tries to even register to vote, it's 5+ years in prison.

[blueinredohio]

21. I'm right there with you.

[DLevine]

23. Been feeling like that for quite awhile now. nt

[Treefrog]

24. Nope, you're not the only one.

He’s not “going down” as so many have predicted here.

I’d love to be wrong.

[MOMFUDSKI]

29. One just need to look at tricky dick's outcome

to know there are 2 different sets of laws in this country. One for the HAVES and one for the HAVE-NOTS.

[Bettie]

31. In another thread, just now

there was someone advocating for just dropping it because some 'swing voters' might be uncomfortable or bored with the idea of consequences for corruption and criminality.

I just can't with this anymore. Apparently, laws aren't a thing and corruption is A-OK if you're a republican.
