Was Trump alone in moving things to Mar a Lago? brooklynite Sep 2022 #15

"I have seen at least 100 DU posts on this issue" brooklynite Sep 2022 #22
Posts that go into depth about the merits of the case and steps taken. TigressDem Sep 2022 #32

I am not talking to other people. I asked you. TigressDem Sep 2022 #44
"But this is a DISCUSSION BOARD, not a court of law" brooklynite Sep 2022 #45
Not to me. People here on DU have their own perspectives and it can be enlightening. TigressDem Sep 2022 #104
And I am not the prosecutor or a wittness in the courtroom. TigressDem Sep 2022 #34
"he should have consequences for his actions" brooklynite Sep 2022 #37
Do we HAVE 2 years if the Saudi's have those nuclear documents and start trouble with them? TigressDem Sep 2022 #39
Just an observation: there is NO public evidence that Trump sold or gave secrets to foreigners brooklynite Sep 2022 #41
I said, "If" on that one. We know Jared Kushner got 2 billion dollars from them for something. TigressDem Sep 2022 #43
We objected to the Patriot Act treestar Sep 2022 #91
Jared is under a seperate investigation and what the court finds may determine a connection. TigressDem Sep 2022 #105
But realistically, he's at least a fucking adult. He took things from his former work place. TigressDem Sep 2022 #20
I'm not "defending" him...I pointing out what his defense will say. brooklynite Sep 2022 #23
Which him do you have confidence in when you are whipping out tRump lawyer arguments? TigressDem Sep 2022 #28
I'm whipping out Trump Lawyer arguments that DOJ will be PREPARED for when indictments are issued. brooklynite Sep 2022 #30
1. It doesn't matter who moved them. He had them in his possession. Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2022 #31
Yep TigressDem Sep 2022 #36

Are you kidding? newdayneeded Sep 2022 #46
Kinda scary, isn't it? I think Garland's competence in domestic terrorism cases should count ... Hekate Sep 2022 #93
Post removed Post removed Sep 2022 #3
Another Garland reminder: blue neen Sep 2022 #4
100% irrelevant to the current case, but ok. Orrex Sep 2022 #50
Not really. It took two years to prosecute the perpetrators and co-conspirators associated with JohnSJ Sep 2022 #61
It once took three hours to make a sandwich Orrex Sep 2022 #68
Come on. Your point was it was irrelevant to the case. The issue the OP was making was the JohnSJ Sep 2022 #75
As has been noted elsewhere in-thread, McVeigh was a nobody Orrex Sep 2022 #77
Irrelevant. Cha Sep 2022 #102
see post #65 newdayneeded Sep 2022 #67
Oklahoma City? Was McVeigh in custody all that time? nt intrepidity Sep 2022 #130
No, I don't understand. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #6
Again, I think it is the current environment and our impatience for tRump to have consequences. TigressDem Sep 2022 #17
Passing judgement on Garland the way the OP did is pure speculation. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #24
No I think he has his reasons. I just hope he isn't under Mike Pence type of pressure. TigressDem Sep 2022 #27
He certainly has his reasons, but all of them are based on speculation alone. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #35
Declarations of faith in Garland's investigation are likewise based on speculation alone Orrex Sep 2022 #59
True, declarations of faith in Garland are just as speculative. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #63
I have distressingly little faith in the rule of law Orrex Sep 2022 #69
You are talking about faith again. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #79
Do you deny that the wealthy and powerful are treated differently? Orrex Sep 2022 #82
your hypothetical case could take as long treestar Sep 2022 #87
Suppose that someone murdered your best friend right in front of you Orrex Sep 2022 #95
that case would have my eyewitness testimony treestar Sep 2022 #107
A voice of reason. Thank you. Joinfortmill Sep 2022 #106
It's also human to fear getting our hopes up to have them dashed. TigressDem Sep 2022 #29
It is not unheard of for humans to be inaccurate and irrational. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #38
At times. Even when they suck it up and hang onto what truth and hope they can find. TigressDem Sep 2022 #40
NO snese to me, either.. I trust AG Cha Sep 2022 #103
TFG clearly committed ESPIONAGE? No patience for that BS available? That is DEATH SENTENCE shit! Brainfodder Sep 2022 #122
In our criminal justice system, none of this is clear until Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #123
You clearly missed my point. Brainfodder Sep 2022 #124
No Joinfortmill Sep 2022 #10
It surprises me that people still don't see the importance of time. gab13by13 Sep 2022 #19
I think you are confusing calls for patience with calls for respect of due process of law. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #25
Oh, is it bash Garland week again? mcar Sep 2022 #21
I'm counting on him to save our democracy. gab13by13 Sep 2022 #26
No, I don't understand. betsuni Sep 2022 #33
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Are you even aware what AG Garland is JohnSJ Sep 2022 #47
What I understand is that "the process involved" is laughably far from our supposed ideal... Silent3 Sep 2022 #55
The fact that enough self-identified progressives decided not to vote for Hillary in the general JohnSJ Sep 2022 #60

I'm here, stood in line to vote for newdayneeded Sep 2022 #111
I was not referring to you about not voting, and I applaud and appreciate your response. Thanks JohnSJ Sep 2022 #112

Tell that to the murderous white supremacist McVeigh malaise Sep 2022 #49
This is apples to dog turds newdayneeded Sep 2022 #65
I see that you've been scolded by the cheerleaders Orrex Sep 2022 #51
I won't be posting "mea culpa"s, because justice delayed is justice denied Silent3 Sep 2022 #53
You make an excellent point Orrex Sep 2022 #54

Why yes, I have reviewed every last scrap of evidence, in defiance of the DoJ and the Special Master Orrex Sep 2022 #97

Another kind of Garland reminder DFW Sep 2022 #57

Your condescension is charming Orrex Sep 2022 #70
Many demands for instant "justice" made on DU show fundamental disregard, Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #71
I've been on DU a long time and have never seen a single demand for "instant justice" Orrex Sep 2022 #73
How about unreasonably poor justification to demand expedited justice? Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #81
That's another straw man Orrex Sep 2022 #83
I dont think "strtawman" means what you think it means. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #86
Whoops, I did indeed erroneously swap those two words. That was a mistake. Orrex Sep 2022 #96
I chose both words myself. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #99
When a crime is a crime of possession, possession of an illegal item is enough for arrest. Silent3 Sep 2022 #109
You may be interested in this: Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #114
"may avoid *conviction*" Silent3 Sep 2022 #115
His claim makes an arrest questionable. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #117
All that fraught concern over what happens if an arrest doesn't lead to a conviction... Silent3 Sep 2022 #119
The concern is there for good reason. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #121
Oh, I'm well aware of the possible blowback that isn't there for arresting Joe Shmoe... Silent3 Sep 2022 #125
That's the difference between you and Garland. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #126
You're confusing avoiding political blowback with "rule of law" Silent3 Sep 2022 #127
To assume that certain DOJ policies are not part of the rule of law is not only wrong but dangerous. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #128
You don't know about the policy of not indicting a sitting President? Silent3 Sep 2022 #129
You may not realize it, but you are making my point. Beastly Boy Sep 2022 #131
You have a remarkable capacity to avoid the obvious and construct really weird... Silent3 Sep 2022 #132
How do you know the standard is different? treestar Sep 2022 #90
The whole system is fucked if it takes this long to dot every "i" and cross every "t" Silent3 Sep 2022 #72
Excellent response. (nt) Orrex Sep 2022 #74
Agreed! newdayneeded Sep 2022 #84

Umm...you're two statements contradict each other: Fix The Stupid Sep 2022 #116
It would be accurate to say Obama was under pressure from Republicans to not make any nomination tritsofme Sep 2022 #118
So you want "hard left" judges and AGs? How about someone who knows domestic terrorism? Hekate Sep 2022 #80
I love Garland! EX500rider Sep 2022 #98
I'm done waiting for the imminent announcement of TFGs indictment. BlueIdaho Sep 2022 #108
