I've been in favor of that since 2015. abqtommy Aug 2021 #1

Certainly-- but problem is since the DOJ doesn't talk about ongoing cases, they may have already LymphocyteLover Aug 2021 #2

Do you really believe that? gab13by13 Aug 2021 #18

Just my guess, but I think they want to see the results before taking any action. patphil Aug 2021 #23

The Arizona SOS asked the feds for help, gab13by13 Aug 2021 #25

Yeah, and I would think they are getting it. Again, DOJ investigations are deliberately not public. patphil Aug 2021 #29

A lot of legal experts think it's very possible they have a serious investigation of TFG ongoing LymphocyteLover Aug 2021 #31

Been asking the same question, but apparently there is a clause msfiddlestix Aug 2021 #44

If Garland's justice department is to have any credibility, it must do this lees1975 Aug 2021 #3

Democracy will be in greater peril as well. triron Aug 2021 #4

This isn't optional. If Trump gets away with his crimes, America is finished. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #40

I wished some democratic Senators would say this out loud. triron Aug 2021 #63

I could not agree more. Brother Mythos Aug 2021 #5

How do you know one hasn't already been opened? StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #6

Exactly. They have rules about not discussing any investigation which is ongoing. soldierant Aug 2021 #20

Maybe Lawrence Tribe, Joyce Vance, and Barbara McQuade msfiddlestix Aug 2021 #45

If you read the article, you'd know that they DON'T know whether an investigation has been opened StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #47

I did read the excerpt, and yes that very quote msfiddlestix Aug 2021 #52

I respect them. I also know they get paid to write provocative articles like this StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #54

it's about accountability for the most treasonous crime ever in the history by a U.S. President. msfiddlestix Aug 2021 #57

I know that getting worked up assuming process isn't working when the process hasn't yet played out StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #59

kind of avoiding the point it seems to me msfiddlestix Aug 2021 #60

They covered their asses by not claiming an investigation has not begun and, in fact, by StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #62

Exactly... msfiddlestix Aug 2021 #65

I've lost faith after Fitzmas, Mueller etc. Show us the justice. Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #7

Really ! If you can't get him for Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2021 #17

Yeah but, maybe there are hidden investigations going on? gab13by13 Aug 2021 #19

That's exactly what's been so exhausting for so many years Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2021 #28

Why would the DOJ Elessar Zappa Aug 2021 #38

Bogles the mind. triron Aug 2021 #27

Some have suggested he would divulge national security details if actually indicted... Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #30

"Divulging national security secrets" is that a crime? Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2021 #32

That would have been waaay too human for the orange monstrosity. He cares not for anyone. Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #33

Exactly. He's back in New Jersey though right? Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2021 #34

Too late methinks. Yeah Bedminster. Magaland North Central Atlantic. Hope a Trump steak ends it. Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #35

Yes. Just think where we'd be right now if he had figured out Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2021 #58

I can't let myself go there. 1/6 made it all too clear how close we are to losing it all. Evolve Dammit Aug 2021 #61

Not negligent homicide at all. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #41

It would be ironic after all the Mueller evidence & 2 impeachments bucolic_frolic Aug 2021 #8

Well, didn't they finally get Al Capone for tax evasion? calimary Aug 2021 #9

Of course it should be. But will it? Marius25 Aug 2021 #11

Why hasn't at least one investigation already started? BigmanPigman Aug 2021 #12

Drag feet and the next election rolls around Captain Zero Aug 2021 #13

That's exactly what they are aiming for. BigmanPigman Aug 2021 #14

And you know this, how? StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #49

Amen ! Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2021 #15

Are you working on the inside of DOJ? StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #22

This sounds like a Don Rumsfeld question. gab13by13 Aug 2021 #26

Hey but a Senate committee, gab13by13 Aug 2021 #21

Committees can't throw Trump in jail. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #42

Hopefully they already are. triron Aug 2021 #46

They're letting the terrorists walk free. Not optimistic they will do any better to the terror boss lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #48

The reveal of Trump's calls to Rosen and Donoghue gives us some idea of what is going on. patphil Aug 2021 #24

K&R... spanone Aug 2021 #36

In my opinion... kentuck Aug 2021 #37

DOJ's job is to seek truth and justice, not consensus. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #43

True. And seeking truth and justice means taking the time to get it right in the long run StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #50

I'd be more patient if I didn't see them letting the Jan 6th terrorist troops off the hook. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #51

You're blaming DOJ for judges' decisions StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #53

Some of that is judges. Much of it is prosecutors. lagomorph777 Aug 2021 #55

I also recall people here insisting Democrats would never impeach StarfishSaver Aug 2021 #56

Now also Dan Goldman. triron Aug 2021 #66

TFG needs to be prosecuted and convicted or he will try this again LetMyPeopleVote Aug 2021 #67
