This wouldn't surprise me, but he really needs to be indicted for the many things you mention. And probably many more we don't know about. Can't imagine that the many intel agencies don't have very incriminating info.
WTF is right. Teflon Don the Con, Mob Boss, King of Magaland. Even the hearings are only fact-finding, investigative panels. There will be no judicial action(s) taken, unless referred to DOJ for prosecution. Not even sure they would do that....

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

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

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

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

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

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
