Donald Trump has created nightmares for his legal team and may have pushed the Department of Justice beyond the tipping point as Attorney General Merrick Garland considers indictments.
"Tonight, what is he still hiding?" asked MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin. "New allegations that Trump might have kept more documents from the National Archives."
He explained the difficult situation facing Trump's lawyers, "because it's not just the mess he's in right now, it's that, as we learn on a near daily basis with this guy, there is always more with Trump. More scandal, more illegality, and more pain for his lawyers.".....
"This is the very kind of activity, of obstruction, that is the tipping point, many times, for the Justice Department, after they already accumulated the evidence sufficient for indictment, as to whether or not to prosecute," Goodman said. "I think this is just outrageous and outlandish that he would still have documents."

OP
At this point I'd settle for an arrest before the next mass extinction event.

We should be way, WAY beyond tipping points by now.
God, I am SO sick of this reluctance and foot-dragging. Equal before the law, my ass.

Justice matters.

Hair Furhair shooting someone on 5th Avenue??

His treason makes previous treason cases (which resulted in execution in one) seem quaint.

(50,949 posts)8. It's just ridiculous at this point.
But 3..2..1.. till some brain trust tells you it isn't a Law & Order episode (2 years later) and asks what YOU are doing to help Merrick Garland.
Justice delayed is justice denied. We are watching justice being denied.

But expect an indictment before then

Trump will just tell him that he pardoned himself when he was in office and then it will be here we go again
