There are so many new and more serious transgressions that we tend to forget about the previous ones. I read a post about Cuba here earlier and I remembered that, early on, Trump was in trouble for attempting to do business in Cuba during the embargo. Whatever happened with that??

His administration , and Republicans have committed, and their putin connections, but they will be all exposed. I think 100-150 republicans (and maybe a couple of Democrats) will get exposed for taking money from putin for re-election or their own pockets, and why they wouldn't convict trump.

We had the best opportunity to get a head start when so much solid evidence was presented during the impeachment hearings - but the Republicans blatantly chose to ignore it and sealed their fate as co-conspirators. There are few that will remain unscathed by the investigations they'll be facing - not to mention those remaining Trump appointees that haven't been indicted - yet.

Buying stock in the company that makes orange jumpsuits would be a good investment? Seems that we may be needing a large supply for this batch.

Most of them happen right out in the open.

The problem is the courts and the appeals process which can drag on for years and judges that take months to make a decision. That's the system that needs reform.

at Guantanamo Bay under 24/7/365 Marine Guard until
the trials in Nuremberg are completed.

Then a firing squad.

Our democracy is in grave danger if these crimes are not fully investigated and prosecuted.

I, always see this either he is or isn't guilty, but when you see this, to me it means he'll get away with it, and not worth my time reading about. So how about solutions and how they can be charged
