(2,541 posts)This deference given to previous Presidents must be stopped. Ford gave Nixon a pass, Obama gave Bush Jr. as pass and Wall Street. This needs to end or future bad actors are going to push the envelope further expecting no accountability (how one could do worse than DT in lying & letting 640,000 Americans die. Studies think that this is closer to 1,000,000 because of under reporting) obviously 2 - 3
.10 million is worse.
Mueller was held back by several factors. Had there been no OLC memo or limits placed on him by Rosenstein he would have looked at financials and I believe charged DT with crimes.
President Biden need to set all of that aside and instruct his AG to conduct a full & comprehension investigation of how deep the coordination went in the attack on our Capitol Jan 6.
Also how the response to the Pandemic was so blatantly botched. Every year there is the potential for a pandemic but usually the government is fairly successful in stopping these before they get out of hand. DT clearly did not do that. He admitted he lied about how bad it was. There were stories that some of the responses were slow walked because it was hitting blue states hardest if true people need to go to jail for that. There were several stories about Health & Human services showing up confiscating tons of PPE where that went no one knows. There are still some 20million doses of vaccine not accounted for.
These two event at least need to be gone over with a fine tooth comb. There are many other events as well.
The info MBS used to make all those arrests.
The Qatar issue after denying Kushner that loan.
The obstruction of Justice telling his lawyer to fabricate document concerning the Russian collusion.
Emoluments.
Abuse of office by using it for profit. Why was the FBI not allowed to move. The Military forced to land at his golf course is Scotland.
Kennedys abrupt retirement and Kavanaughs suddenly disappeared debt.
Immigration
Etc, etc, etc,
We will never know just how badly DT damaged this country. I dont think a day went by that he did not break a law. Accountability needs to happen.
