That orange bastard needs to face actual charges.

He CANNOT be allowed to wriggle free.

He CANNOT be allowed to get away with it.

What will that say about our system of justice and that neat little “equal protection under law” thing?

How do we stand out there and preach to others about “liberty and justice for all” if we let this snake slither away without facing any accountability for the crimes he committed - out in the open?

How would - or could - this EVER be justified?

And what kind of legal precedent would this set?

Merrick Garland gab13by13 Feb 2023 #1

Garland could not investigate everything. It's impossible. Trump committed countless crimes. fightforfreedom Feb 2023 #3

The case was done, laid out by Mueller gab13by13 Feb 2023 #4

If you are so concerned about this you should write Garland and Biden. fightforfreedom Feb 2023 #5

I don't think that person needs to write Garland or Biden.. Chakaconcarne Feb 2023 #9

I don't think the DOJ believed they could get a conviction. All Trump needed was a single 33taw Feb 2023 #17

Individual one was an unindicted co-conspirator gab13by13 Feb 2023 #36

I agree. The naysayers confound me. Why wouldn't they celebrate being a step closer to indictment? Joinfortmill Feb 2023 #30

I can't think of anyone here who has said gab13by13 Feb 2023 #35

Is this some sort of a horse race? Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #58

What hasn't changed is no indictments. PoindexterOglethorpe Feb 2023 #52

There have been over 1000 indictments from DOJ to date. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #60

What did a officer Dunne say? gab13by13 Feb 2023 #40

That's not te answer to my question. That is not even a question to my question. Beastly Boy Feb 2023 #46

You think that you intentionally miss the point, so I will spell it out. Chainfire Feb 2023 #45

I understand your fears, but there is one problem. fightforfreedom Feb 2023 #47

I wonder if that there is any date to which you might accept that you have been duped? Chainfire Feb 2023 #48
