Mens rea is the mental element of a person's intention to commit a crime; or knowledge that one's action or lack of action would cause a crime to be committed.
i believe the beginning was the failure to prosecute nixon
IMO Merrick Garland is bending WAY over backwards to not make his DOJ appear to belong in a Banana Republic.
I heard he turned off his phone. But does it seem likely if he has a smart phone that he can't use a computer? I read once a long time ago that he forbid his employees to use email though. Doesn't seem possible, but maybe not for important stuff.
It is like anything, it starts out with something small, (relative to today,) and slowly it gets chipped away. As norms were breached, it picked up speed. In the last ten years it has been like the snowball that picks up mass on its way downhill, becoming heavier and faster and much harder to slow or stop.
Yes. And the Executive Branch has gotten more and more powerful relative to the other branches of government. There is little separation of powers as the Constitution laid out because Congress is not enacting its role.
They spend too much time pan-handling and lying……..I quit House of Cards a few years back because I thought the plot lines were too far fetched……..
We have multiple paths, we control themSure looks like the investigation is getting awful close to Trump himself.

Donald Trump Jr. texted Mark Meadows ideas on how to overturn the 2020 election: report
Donald Trump Jr., former President Donald Trump's eldest son, texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows ideas to overturn the 2020 results before most major news networks had called the election, according to a CNN report published Friday.
"It's very simple," Trump Jr. wrote in a text message to Meadows on November 5, 2020, two days before the major news networks declared Joe Biden the winner. "We have multiple paths We control them all."
The messages are part of a trove of records being examined by the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol siege, CNN reported.
Ah no
Everybody says that about everything new that comes out. Looking at it as an individual incident, maybe there is nothing illegal. But when taken in the total context of what went on since just before the election, it may be part of a larger conspiracy.
January 6th was the real world result of Trump attempting to corrupt the election.
He may be past his expiration date.
The beginnings of the Big Lie.
That's the "real world" result and it happened because Trump was trying to corrupt our election.
It was a demonstration of a plan that had been made a long time ago by President Trump and his close advisers to keep him in power although he had lost the majority of electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election. The plan failed.
Sure looks like the investigation is getting awful close to Trump himself.
