(9,998 posts)1. And People Here Are SHOCKED That They're Sticking By Him
Probably the same ones who think THIS is going to be the thing that gets TFG indicted.
I guess I'll just focus on the 1-2% of repubs who leave the MAGA group because of this.
Resume partying, I'll save mine for if he's actually indicted and suffers consequences for ONE of his crimes.

(39,379 posts)5. Probably a good approach
This little paragraph from todays Maggie Haberman/Glenn Thrush effort in the NYT jumped out at a lot of people:
But department officials are not expected to file charges imminently, if they ever do. And the specific contents of the materials the government recovered in the search remain unclear as does what risk to national security Mr. Trumps decision to retain the materials posed.

Ethics board: SD Gov. Noem may have 'engaged in misconduct'
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) A South Dakota ethics board on Monday said it found sufficient information that Gov. Kristi Noem may have engaged in misconduct when she intervened in her daughters application for a real estate appraiser license that it could take action against her.
The three retired judges on the Government Accountability Board determined that appropriate action could be taken against Noem, though it didnt specify the action. The board voted unanimously to invoke procedures calling for a contested case hearing that would give Noem, who has denied wrongdoing, a chance to publicly defend herself against the allegations related to conflicts of interest or malfeasance.
The retired judges also referred a complaint that Noem flew on state-owned airplanes to political events to the state attorney generals office for further investigation. That puts the investigation under the oversight of the interim attorney general, Mark Vargo, who was appointed by Noem. Both complaints were brought by then-Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg, a Republican who has since been impeached and removed from office over his conduct in an unrelated car crash in which he killed a pedestrian.
The board handled the complaints only by case number and did not refer to Noem directly in either case. Ravnsborg provided the case numbers to The Associated Press.

the coverup of a crime or they are criminally stupid and have no place in a position of power or influence.
