Tell me again that "for the good of the nation", the DOJ might not indict the orange anus

[deminks]

Better yet, tell that to Lady Ruby and her daughter.


/rant off.

1. Anyone who says that is dead fucking wrong...

Not prosecuting for such a reason would have only the exact opposite effect. It would be stupidity.

[tulipsandroses]

2. Some claim there will be violence. Are they not seeing the violence here already?

Elderly women threatened in their own homes. Having to flee their homes.Threats to murder a baby. I guess that baby has no right to life if her dad is on the Jan 6 committee.

3. Damned if we, damned if we don't

Might as well do.

Not prosecuting - will unleash hell on a lot of non white christian Americans

[ArnoldLayne]

4. TFG #45 needs to go to jail

I'm not worried and don't care if there is violence or Civil War. That Orange Creature and his henchmen need to locked up. Then whatever happens....happens then.

5. Jail is too easy.

What he needs is a wooden stake in his heart. But since he has no heart that's not an option.

[doc03]

6. Unless Garland is absolutely certain he can

win he won't charge him. Can you imagine if he goes in trial and wins. He will be strutting around claiming it was a witch hunt. On second thought he will claim that either way.

[EndlessWire]

7. I agree.

But, if we see the DOJ move to indict, we will know that Garland has got him. I think that we need to do it regardless of whether we can win, because history has to show that we were not faint hearted in the face of this threat to our Democracy.

If we do nothing, we are wimps. The American people need to see the DOJ stand up to Trump. I am not worried about the timeline. Things worth doing take time, and a careful prosecutor nails down the facts.

9. Is it possible to find a jury that will convict him?

[EndlessWire]

11. Jury stacking? Can't say.

That's why I'd be content to allow him to sail away from our shores, and take his evil cabal with him. We need to be rid of this Joker asap.

[barbtries]

10. there is no such thing as absolute certainty

about what the future holds. especially when you're talking about a jury. He needs to be reasonably certain that he can prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. And then go. Do it.

[barbtries]

8. it will be much, much better

for a nation that purports to be a nation of laws and not men, to prosecute those who break the law. trump fits that bill. any argument that says otherwise is an argument full of shit. period.

just think if nixon had been prosecuted. wouldn't life be different and better? I think it would. It was a bullshit argument then and it's a bullshit argument now.
