Remember all those ads about Kamala Harris being soft on crime?
Then remember how Trump won and pardoned a bunch of violent criminals?
Most Americans seem to be too soft on crime, since they allowed a criminal to become president.
Crimes are ok now. I'm planning a few myself
Just make sure that A: the victims of your crimes are women or minorities and B: you're a rich white man
Amatuer, I've been download cars all this time.
Don't pay your bills. Paying bills is for losers. Winners default!
Man, I've been watching people in movies kill Nazis my whole life. I will resist.
To them they aren't criminals, they're white patriots and political prisoners. That's the core problem.
Criminal is a matter of perspective when your president is a felon.
Pepridge farms remembers
The most egregious Jan 6th case is Trump.
Interesting taking the approach of "most important cases first" now. What were they doing, calling them in by last name?
Honestly, this whole thing has been a fuck up.
Biden never should have made a republican the AG
This practice of appointing Republicans to critical positions to demonstrate bipartisanship has got to stop. (If the Dems ever get another chance, at least)
They won’t stop it.
We'll never have the opportunity agajn.
I am not excited about Trump winning but I’m also not so pessimistic as to think the government will be overthrown.
If I remember correctly there was a long list of different generals and bureaucrats ready to resign if Trump went too unhinged rather than follow unconstitutional orders. He will also be surrounded by generals who I presume have small arms on their person at all times.
Im fairly certain if for example he tried to use nuclear weapons without proper cause the secretary of defense or a general would punch him in the face rather than follow the order.
Getting sent to the camps might stop them.
I’m guessing it was prioritized by the amount of evidence, and the chances of getting a conviction.
This has been one of the worst justice departments.
The worst justice department so far.
Starting with Merrick Garland
What a complete failure
Which is also failure of Biden. The old man just could not keep up with the shifting of the tides; every play he's got came from 30 years ago.
It's been four ducking years, should have been plenty of time to prosecute everyone, including Trump
Right ? They’re writing like it was this January and they’re rushing to tidy up.
In prison for poisoning you
Why? So that they're officially convicted so that Trump can pardon them?
Like the Fucker that goaded all these assclowns to come to capital?
They'll all be pardoned. It's a waste of time unless they go after Trump himself.
I understand the feeling of pessimism, but let's not forget who Trump is.
Unless pardoning them directly and immediately benefits him, he's quite unlikely to give a shit
Plus they'll still be on record as having been convicted of a crime. They may be legally exonerated after a pardon but their names will still show up in a search--probably make it more difficult to find a job.
A presidential pardon is an admission of guilt.
...and then what? He still becomes president und zero justice will have been served.
Yeah he is going to pardon all of them. I guess DC doesn't have "state charges" that can't be pardoned.
So they can get pardoned? It’s worth it nevertheless.
The most eggregious Abu Graib soldiers on the pictures. Not DJT/leadership though.
Good for you!!! 👍🥳🎉🎈🍾🥂🎯
