Toobin to Attorney General: Don't prosecute Donald Trump

1. why have laws if they aren't enforced?

this really blows up the concept that we are supposed to be a nation of laws and no one is above the law, doesn't it.

And how do we know that Trump didn't break laws if he is allowed to block investigations at every turn.

Wrong Toobin - Trump must be thoroughly investigated and most likely then charged

4. No One Is Above The Law?

I think you're talking about another country. Certainly not America.

[tecelote]

6. Maybe it was supposed to be...

No, One is Above the Law.

Trump is that one. He gets away with everything.

2. Trump must've had a HAND in Tubin getting his job back.

3. To Be Fair

I think Mr. Garland has already made the decision not to prosecute.

Unlike many here at DU, I honestly never expected much to happen. He's got away with EVERY criminal act he's committed during his worthless life, and nothing is going to change now.

Sorry.

5. To paraphrase a joke I saw on Twitter: Toobin is hard on Zoom but soft on crime.

8. Good one

7. If we don't prosecute Trump then the law means nothing and our way of government is a lie.

If we don't hold Trump and his lackeys accountable it will just be a matter of time before someone installs themselves as our permanent Commander in Chief, as they will know they can get away with whatever they want as long as they have critically-placed sycophants in the government and media who will block and run cover for them.

It may not even be Trump or a Republican who pulls it off, but of course they are the most likely ones who will try it again.

9. That is the danger, and Garland better do his job as it is intended to be done

I hate to read stuff like this, I have not lost my optimism and I still believe the SOB will pay for all his crimes.

"It may not even be Trump or a Republican who pulls it off, but of course they are the most likely ones who will try it again." Josh Haley is salivating at the prospect, he wants to be it.

10. Totally Agree!

Well put.

11. That whole damn

Segment on CNN really pissed me off. Why the hell was Jacket Off Toobin even allowed. According to his theory no ex President EVER should be investigated, it may set a Precedent. And seconds after he was allowed 15 minutes to spew, with both co hosts just giggling at the end, they had fucking General Petraeus on hammering Biden’s decision and judgement. Fucking Petraeus. Guess they will have Flynn on tomorrow to get his view of the pull out. Damn MSM. When I cut on TV this AM it was still on MSNBC from Lawrence last night and before I could get to the remote, Joe Blow and Donny Doooosh were hammering Biden’s in competence. 😤😤😡😡. No wonder this country is so damn stupid.
