A Crisis in Criminal Justice?

[kentuck]

Is the criminal justice system capable of holding people accountable for their crimes?

Are presidents and former presidents accountable to the laws of this country?

Shouldn't these be the folks that our justice system holds the most accountable?

People are rightfully concerned that crimes have been committed, the most heinous crimes against our nation, and no one has to answer for it.

Some are concerned that the AG is not going to prosecute any crimes that may have been committed by the former president. Can our constitution survive under such a system of justice?

If there is going to be a 'crisis", we should be certain that we are on the right side of justice.

1. Agreed. We the people need assurance that law is upheld

and as unpleasant as prosecuting a former president may be, it would reassure faith in a justice system that now appears fractured.

3. If we do not pursue Trump and his co-conspirators, we could lose our democracy.

Another group will see a tremendous opportunity for permanent power and wealth.

2. Historically, the criminal justice does not pursue crimes committed by the wealthy/powerful.

It is so rare that when white, wealthy, powerful people are indicted or jailed, it makes headlines.

And we are finding out that the laws/rules for POTUS is only a voluntary honor system.
