If Attorney Gen. Garland doesn't prosecute Trump, the rule of law is "out the window"

Why is it taking so long? One possible answer is that it's not easy to get a conviction of a president. What appears compelling to a layperson is going to be difficult in practice. It will also be difficult to put down the riots that the very announcement of an indictment may bring. There may be a great deal of worry about fomenting civil war to no good end, because we will not succeed in holding the president accountable.

In the end, all I can do is make the counter-argument that if you're worried about the consequences of going ahead with this evidence against Trump and perhaps not convicting him, then you had better start worrying about the consequences of not going ahead with this evidence — and telling presidents in the future, including this president, who undoubtedly is going to try to seize power again one way or another, that they can get away with this. If that is the message, then the rule of law has basically been thrown out the window.

My other deep worry is that these so-called institutionalists are so afraid of how the American people and world would respond to the full truth about the Trump regime's crimes that they have decided the only way to protect the institution of the presidency is not to prosecute Trump and his confederates.

That is certainly not what the framers had in mind with the presidency. Their great fear was that the president would have more power even than a monarch, to use his command of the military, his role as commander-in-chief and his power as chief executive to end the process of peaceful transition to the next election. In the United States we established a tradition with Washington passing the baton to Adams and Adams to his great enemy Jefferson.

It was an unbroken tradition, but it was one that I think people who have been serious about preserving the country and the Constitution have realized was quite fragile and could be destroyed at any time.

With Donald Trump we have now seen someone who tried his damnedest to destroy that tradition. It almost succeeded.

Trump's not getting convicted of anything, salon.com.

He will be your President again in 2025.

Trump Org probe heats up as more staffers testify

As Manhattan DA Cy Vance prepares for his retirement this December, The New York Times reports that prosecutors are weighing tax-related crime charges against Trump Organization COO Matthew Calamari Sr. His son and fellow Trump Organization executive Matthew Calamari Jr. recently testified under oath before a grand jury, possibly helping prosecutors get a little closer to the evidence they need.

I really hope you've been doing something these last 8 months other than this and not wasting yet another year of your life.

In about 6 weeks Trump will have been going to jail for 2 years - according to THUGGER. And Trump hasn't even been charged yet.

What a crap ton of useless posts over all this time, eh THUGGER?

I noticed THUGR that somebody lets you out of your cell about once a week and gives you internet access, and you use those hours of freedom to spam the board with pointless irrelevancy.

Instead of spreading ignorance like a disease, why don't you learn something instead?

THUGR posts about Putin so much, he must be in love.



tick tock polish Russian collaborator signym. It starts next week with Trump Org. Tell polish Russian calibrator kiki. Watch what happens with Trump and the banks when the charges are filed.

Thinking about it brings joy to my heart.

Unless he lives another 20 years, Trump has little to fear because the legal system works very slowly. For an example from just yesterday: A Los Angeles jury convicted Robert Durst on Friday of murdering his best friend 20 years ago, a case that took on new life after the New York real estate heir participated in a documentary that connected him to the slaying that was linked to his wife’s 1982 disappearance.

How close did Trump come to being convicted during his second impeachment trial? Very close, but some on the jury knew that convicting Trump would be the end of the juror's career, so they didn't convict. When the defendant, Trump in this case, could murder a juror, GOP Senators in this case, it is a travesty of justice. Despite being able to avenge his conviction, Trump still came very close to being convicted.
