In a nation of laws, trump would have been arrested immediately after leaving the White House.

Reading the J6 committee transcripts, it seems some on his legal “team normal” fully expected that might happen.
Normal people ARE locked up everyday for these crimes. They don’t have to come for “you”. You’re the one already being prosecuted for the crimes that Orange sub human is getting away with.

1. Every day he walks free makes him bolder

and more sure that he is invincible. Just like any criminal.

2. 200 years ago, they would have put him in front of a firing squad or on Pence's gallows.

I think we’ve progressed since then, but it would be fun to fact-check him with a red hot knife blades.

3. Unless the US backed dictators, wanna be dictators, and henchmen make it to the USA.

To bad there's not a country where tRump could find safe harbor, like America gives safe harbor to terrorists (on our side).

Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 was a Cuban flight from Barbados to Jamaica that was brought down on 6 October 1976 by a terrorist bomb attack.[3] All 73 people on board the Douglas DC-8 aircraft were killed after two time bombs went off and the plane crashed into the sea. The crash killed every member of the Cuban national fencing team.

Several CIA-linked anti-Castro Cuban exiles, among them Rafael De Jesus Gutierrez, a Cuban intelligence officer of the Batista regime turned CIA spy after the Cuban revolution, were implicated by the evidence. Political complications quickly arose when Cuba accused the US government of being an accomplice to the attack. CIA documents released in 2005 do indicate that the agency "had concrete advance intelligence, as early as June 1976, on plans by Cuban exile terrorist groups to bomb a Cubana airliner." Former CIA operative and anti-Castro militant Luis Posada Carriles denied involvement but provides many details of the incident in his book Caminos del Guerrero (Ways of the Warrior).[4][5] The Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations, of which Carriles was a founder, is widely seen as responsible for the bombing.[6][7]

Four men were arrested in connection with the bombing, and a trial was held in Venezuela. Freddy Lugo and Hernán Ricardo Lozano were each sentenced to 20-year prison terms. Orlando Bosch was acquitted and later moved to Miami, Florida, where he lived until his death on 27 April 2011. Luis Posada Carriles was held for eight years while awaiting a final sentence but eventually fled. He later entered the United States, where he was held on charges of entering the country illegally, but was released on 19 April 2007.

4. Perhaps someone or group should be watching

when a president moves from the White House to see what he is stealing?
Aren't there pictures of mystery boxes, and where's the silverware?

[RockRaven]

5. To borrow a phrase: "Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land

Where justice is a game..."

Different stakes, different context, same feeling, same reason.

6. This is a bit shameful on America's behalf,...

... but down in Brazil, when their leader Balsonaro pulled this almost identical crap. They promptly arrested him to answer charges for the attempted government overthrow.

Zippidy doodah, no pussy footing around with a Fascist who thought a coup d' etat was a dandy idea down there. Balsonaro will be swiftly made to pay the price for his actions.

That is the kind of immediate deterent actions we need to stop these AmeriKKKan Fascists from pulling these types of treasonous insurrectionist schemes and stunts
once again.

Garland is too slow on the draw. The gun fight is over before he straps on and loads his hand pistol, let alone gets to fire it off. Everyone lay dead in the street - except the quick on the draw quick shooter.

7. You got it right.

[gab13by13]

9. I tried the same argument but was told

arresting TSF had something to do with ducks.

IN over 3 years Garland did convict Navarro and Bannon for blowing off the select committee subpoena.

I went back in my history and counted posts of mine that said, Time Matters, 438 posts. I even got spanked for saying the truth about Garland.

Garland did appoint 2 Trump crony special counsels to go after Hunter and Joe Biden. Garland has one big successful conviction of Hunter with a 2nd trial coming in September. Oh and the Trump crony special prosecutor Hur who wrote a report that Garland released that stated the only reason that Hur did not indict Joe was because he was old and forgetful.

Pretty sad when Garland has more significant convictions of the Biden family than of Trump's inner circle. One would think that it was Hunter and Joe who were behind the insurrection.

[onecaliberal]

11. Same. I've gotten hides and very nasty comments from the apologists.

It does not change the fact that garland fiddled while Rome burned. He will not be remembered in history kindly.
Complete fail, in every regard.

[B.See]

10. EXACTLY. Brazil knows what to do with TREASONOUS fks.

[station agent]

8. In a nation of laws he would have been in prison in the 80s if not the 70s. [n/t]

[onecaliberal]

12. Yes!

[kentuck]

13. Our country has had an affinity for royalty for a long time...

Much of it inherited from the Republicans and Federalists. Many people have put the president on a pedestal, especially if they are Republicans.

Some forget why we fought the Revolution.

14. The legal opinion I agreed with did not come to be, unfortunately. If I did what Trump

pulled off, I have no doubt I would have been charged with manslaughter. As well, GW Bush and Cheney should have been tried for war crimes. We have gaps for political expediency and control of presidential powers but at least Trump has gone through our system and is now a convicted felon based on the evidence. That is a huge accomplishment for American justice.


Barb McQuade, a former U.S. attorney who served during the Obama administration, believes there is enough evidence to charge former President Donald Trump with the federal crime of involuntary manslaughter due to his inaction during the January 6 Capitol attack.

McQuade, who is also a law professor at the University of Michigan Law School, suggested in an op-ed for MSNBC that the Department of Justice (DOJ) should charge Trump with a crime for instructing a mob of his loyalists to head to the U.S. Capitol building while Congress was certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election.

“This theory is probably a bridge too far for DOJ, but failing to call off the mob when he knew they were armed and angry makes the resulting deaths at the Capitol reasonably foreseeable,” McQuade wrote in a tweet sharing her op-ed.

16. Garland won't.

[Passages]

17. I agree, he will not.

15. "They're not here to hurt me" let them in.

That’s not even mentioning killing a million people with covid lies so you don’t “look” bad.

18. The night of Jan 6 2021 or January 7 2021

all bets should be off after a coup - failed otherwise
