I Really Don't Care At This Point If Anything Happens To TFG

[SoCalDavidS]

I didn't expect ANYTHING to happen to him.

I still don't expect ANYTHING to happen to him.

Today's announcement is absolutely No Surprise to me at all. I fully anticipated this was coming, and I suspect it kicks the can for at minimum 1-2 years.

[Ocelot II]

1. Why, exactly, do you think the appointment of a special counsel

will cause a delay? Nothing changes; the SC doesn't have to start over from scratch. He just picks up the files of the existing investigations and moves them to a new office.

[SoCalDavidS]

3. Because The Piece Of Shit Should Have Been Indicted Already

This absolutely causes a delay.

Laurence Tribe said so. Glenn Kirschner said so. If this was to be done, it should have been done a year ago.

It's simply Lucy telling Charlie Brown that maybe he'll get to kick the football eventually. MAYBE.

Garland Punted. That's the bottom line. He never intended to indict, and this proves it.

[Ocelot II]

13. If he didn't intend to indict he wouldn't have appointed a SC, whom he does not control.

He would have kept the cases and just not indicted.

[SoCalDavidS]

14. Yeah, Because A Special Prosecutor Always Results In Indictments, Especially For repubs

I remember how Reagan & Bush Sr. were indicted for Iran Contra.

I remember how Bush Jr., Dick Cheney & Karl Rove were indicted because of Fitzgerald.

I even remember how TFG was held accountable by Mueller.

I've seen this movie before.

[Shrike47]

5. He will have to review every damned thing that's been collected or written. That takes TIME.

Like a lot of other people, I am sick of the delay. But resigned to it.

I have assembled cases for trial based on other people’s work. It is not a fast process.

[Ocelot II]

12. He won't be doing it all himself, and I'm aware that he and his staff

will have to get up to speed. But they can do that while waiting for the 11th Circuit to decide the special master issue, since they can't use those documents as evidence in the meantime. That's on an expedited schedule but still will probably take a few weeks. I have no doubt that everyone concerned is acutely aware of statutes of limitations and will proceed accordingly.

[allegorical oracle]

11. It's possible that Garland moved on this idea weeks ago, Smith agreed to accept, and he's been

receiving docs to get up to speed so there wouldn't be a big delay.

[sprinkleeninow]

15. That's a nice positive thought. My patience, truth be told, has nearly run out.

[Iwasthere]

2. tRumps crimes were HIGH CRIMES

They were not petty crimes. Rule of law in our country is at state. If he's not held accountable we are in trouble. Magats will multiply. GET THE SOB OFF THE TV!!!

[Meadowoak]

4. Justice must prevail. If Trump isn't held accountable, we will

Be doomed for this to happen again again. The next one might be smart enough to pull it off.

[SoCalDavidS]

6. Exactly

That's why I have grown to despise the so-called "justice" system in this country.

I'm old enough to have been through this Bullshit before. I guess it's just going to take a bit longer until people finally realize that TFG is ABOVE THE LAW.

[Iwasthere]

16. Witchcraft.

He magically gets away with HIGH CRIMES? A strong possibility. Some dark magic here imo

[Lettuce Be]

7. I don't care either except I will fully enjoy watching him squirm until his last breath because

this is not all going away. Not this year, not next, not ever. He will spend what little $ he still has on legal fees, and that's also fun to see.

Probably an entire cottage industry will spring up in the "tRump Litigation Speciality," because IMO everyone who experienced any injury or loss during the Jan 6th incident should be filing civil claims.

So he may never actually pay any price for his many crimes but losing his fake fortune is win enough for me.

[SoCalDavidS]

9. Yeah, Whatever

He has plenty of money, and this won't set him or his corrupt family back too badly.

It's like people laughing at Elon Musk losing money if Twitter fails. He can afford it, and so can TFG.

[hamsterjill]

19. Yep.

It mystifies me that people think Trump is worried about being indicted. His freaking ego is too big to allow him to worry about it - and so far, at least, he’s actually had NOTHING to worry about anyway because nothing has (or will) happen to him.

He has been allowed to outsmart the system.

[republianmushroom]

8. Hate to say it but I think your correct

[WA-03 Democrat]

10. Need to accept

that our social contract of the law is really more a guideline. Poor people suffer. Rich people do not.

I am above the law then too and I have some revenge and criming to go do!

[Scrivener7]

17. I care. A LOT. But I'll believe something will happen when I see it.

And this makes me even less hopeful that it will.

[Duppers]

18. You're kidding, right? I care.

A country of laws & all that.

I care about how he's deteriorated our body politic; he's damaged American democracy.
He has set standards that are reminiscent of pre-civil war and banana republics.

I think the country needs justice in order to function fairly. "If tfg can, then...."

[tavernier]

20. I think all is being done to put this criminal behind bars.

It’s not easy because he is as slippery as a greased pig with so many huge money men providing the grease.
I think their chances are slightly better than even given the crimson colored SCOTUS and the memory of what happened to Tom Delay. (Seventeen million dollars is a nice crooked public servant retirement package, right?)

But get the jumbo popcorn because this circus will probably last awhile.

[treestar]

21. If it takes so much time to get up to speed

then the case is not so simple as people make it out to be. "He should have been indicted two years ago" in inconsistent with it taking him a long time to "get up to speed."

His getting acquitted or a hung jury would be quite a disaster. One Magat on the jury and that can be what happens.

[Meowmee]

22. Agree with most

But I do care. I think death by natural causes is the best thing that can happen. At least he will no longer be a threat. And I don't have to see his revolting face etc anymore. He is so disgusting.
