New revelations expose future threat ex-President poses

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A burst of new disclosures exposing the extraordinary efforts by ex-President Donald Trump to steal power after his election defeat constitute a grave warning about the future and his potential bid to recapture the White House.

The audacity of the former President's attempts to subvert the law by weaponizing the Justice Department not only underscores how close the United States came to a full blown constitutional crisis this year. It also emphasizes that any attempt by Trump to use a war chest already worth $100 million to try to recapture the White House in 2024 would represent a mortal threat to democracy and the rule of law from a leader who was undeterred even by his own first impeachment.

New revelations emerging from Senate testimony, about a Trump Justice Department loyalist's alleged behind-the-scenes efforts to call into question elections in states the ex-President lost, also render the continued GOP whitewashing of history about Trump's crimes against the Constitution even more blatant and dangerous.

This staggering trend of attacks against US democracy is being exacerbated by GOP efforts in the states to restrict voting by minorities and Democrats and to make it easier to overturn future election results. Trump was unable to flout the will of voters in 2020. Some election experts fear that he -- or another like-minded Republican strongman -- could succeed in the future.

2. Yes, please.

WTF is taking so long? All his insurrectionist troops are getting off with a slap on the wrist. It looks like Garland is protecting Trump. Only NY seems to be doing anything about him.

3. As Rep. Adam Schiff warned at first impeachment:

In his closing remarks, Schiff said that the greatest risk of not removing Trump is that he’ll keep committing the same offenses.
“He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again. He has compromised our elections, and he will do so again,” he said. “You will not change him. You cannot constrain him. He is who he is.”
