Watching some news commentators last night who are obviously pissed off however can do nothing about it
so it is up we citizens become more involved than ever. Yes we can do it it has been done before which prevented Nixon from walking away.

Yes the evidence is over whelming beyond reality. Capitol Hill is breaking the law by not pushing the matter forward to indictments and such. Screw Donald Trump and all politicians who use their positions to screw
the people. THEY WORK FOR US NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

You don't think the Jan 6 Committee is gathering evidence it can hand to the DOJ? Capitol Hill can't issue indictments.

Oh, I'd love it if Bahrara had that job. He was fired just before he was poised to fry one of Donald's good Russian friends for money laundering.

The TDS lamestream media really got your hopes uh, huh?
 
The fact that he hasn't been prosecuted tells the whole story.
Obviously there isn't enough there there.
There is no other reason. The left despises him. The media despises,
Obviously there isn't enough there there.
Don't shoot the messenger,and don't bother arguing the cases. I have no idea what they have on Trump,but if they had the goods they would have done it.

I hope it's that simple. I believe it is, but I also cling to hope the explanation isn't more convoluted than we think.

Regardless one's views or feelings about Trump, what the left is doing to him is absolutely evil - and exposes a rottenness in our politics and government that is utterly black to the core. He coined the term "swamp" - but they've demonstrated their motives are far, far more insidious and craven than any denizen of a swamp ever was.

Prosecuting Trump would set a risky precedent. Not prosecuting would be worse.​

Are we afraid to test the principle that no one is above the law? Why is Congress allowing presidents to break the law and get away with it?​



This is not normal
But the United States claims to be an advanced democracy. The costs of not prosecuting Trump have already been significant — and they’re already grounds for fear.

Trump continues to stir up violence; he acts as if he remains untouchable.

He praised the anti-public-health trucker convoy that shut down a key bridge linking Detroit to Ontario and has wreaked havoc in Ottawa: “I see they have Trump signs all over the place and I’m proud that they do,” Trump bragged to “Fox & Friends,” before suggesting that the truckers do the same in the United States, an even greater “tinderbox.”

Trump’s acolytes take his cue. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) expressed his hope that the truckers would bring their mayhem inside America’s borders, while the Republican National Committee defended the police-beating armed rioters at the Capitol who sought to block Biden’s electoral certification by Congress as engaged in “legitimate political discourse.”


Although Trump has long sanctioned violence among his supporters — calling white supremacists in Charlottesville “fine people”; ordering the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”; urging a crowd to “march” on the Capitol and “fight like hell” to overturn the allegedly stolen election; tweeting “liberate Michigan” to followers a few months before a plot to kidnap and murder the state’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, was discovered — the failure to prosecute Trump for any crimes he himself commits empowers him to do it louder.

One small detail: you have to find a prosecutable offense and have enough evident to indict, let alone prosecute. Minor detail

Not to Godwin the thread, but there is the Joseph Goebbels explanation too - "Repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it."

That's pretty much been the transport mechanism of the TDS virus all along.

What about lying, and spreading such lies - characterizing what happened on Jan 6 as an "attempted coup?"

I would think that also would disqualify one from holding office - ANY office or position of authority. Don't you?

I suppose that depends on your view of democracy. The left wing vision is as I said it was and, since they want democracy (their version), all other thought must be excised from society by whatever means necessary. Remember, according to them it's you and I that are divisive and unless they manage to eradicate that divisiveness then we will never be a free society.

Why are you calling out the media when they cannot prosecute anyone at all? Shouldn't you address this to the Attorney General?

The DOJ is doing nothing regarding charges or indictments. I have been concerned about this insider investigation nonsense.

Capitol Hill can refer the evidence to the proper channels for charges .......

Neither body is pursuing. WHY? It's not for lack of evidence.

As I stated earlier Nixon would have gotten by had it not been for a public uprising.

Investigators have stated there is plenty of evidence yet elected officials are throwing them under the bus.
Why? I will trust investigators before elected officials.

Is it time the nation remove capitol hill as an investigative body and do away with the position of Attorney General?

Hopefully the country will step up and demand that Trump be fully investigated and charged accordingly which is what it took to bring Watergate to Justice.

Should the the office of president be relieved of pardoning privileges?

I am not and did not ask the media to prosecute = they don't have that authority.

I indirectly suggested the media begin inquiring with everyday people if they believe Trump should be considered for charges...... indictments would follow perhaps.

Well I would think stealing 15 boxes of classified materials and hiding them at his golf course for over a year would be a hell of a start!!!

Who did he share that information with???

Who's still prosecuting him other than Fulton County, Georgia?
Click to expand...
Nobody ever was prosecuting him. No charges have yet to be filed against him. He is currently being investigated for election law violations in GA, and civil tax law violations in New York. The House investigation could also lead to a criminal investigation by the AG. Many have already called for that, so who knows? He just lost a SCOTUS case, meaning WH records of his actions leading up to and during 1-6-21 have been turned over to investigators. He could be charged with insurrection. It's a tough one to prove in court, so it's understandable that any such charges would only come as a result of extensive evidence-gathering.

It doesn't prevent problems, nor does it immediately reverse damage. It corrects itself in time. The wheels of justice turn slowly.

Trump 'guilty of numerous' felonies, prosecutor told Manhattan district attorney as he resigned from probe

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has investigated former President Donald Trump for several years, but so far has not charged him.

The article said the investigation is ongoing. Maybe they will still come through with charges.
 
Speaking of things that would be worth waiting for, how about a scenario where Trump officially enters the 2024 race for president, and then the whole news cycle is turned upside down by the announcement that he is criminally indicted and arrested.

Could happen.

Another example of how there are two standards of 'justice' in america. Justice for the wealthy and justice for the rest of us.

The answer is simple. Trump is innocent. Honest, for real, no bullshit innocent.

It is said that if you look long enough and hard enough, then you will find dirt on anyone. The Democrats looked very long, very hard and employed the FBI as investigators, and they still came up with nothing, It's as close as you can get to proving a negative.
