Did Trump just commit yet another crime at Mar a Lago by soliciting a one billion dollar bribe from 9 oil executives in return for tearing down Biden's energey policies? The Senate and House Democrats, and public interest groups, along with possibly the DOJ want to know
Merrick Garland has done everything he can to avoid looking like he's prosecuting Trump for political reasons. Yet he's still under threat of impeachment from the GQP. Democrats have yet to learn that they might as well do what they're accused of since the GOP have no sense of shame
Yes... I believe he is concerned with what history would say about him.
The Jan 6 lawsuit should have been started within the first month of taking office. Trump is using this hesitation and claiming they are just trying to interfere in the election because the lawsuit came in years after the crime.
History will say that Garland let treason and insurretion go unprosecuted.
Biden should immediately remove Garland, on the basis that Republican interference with him is imparting his abilities to focus on his job 100%. And Niden should install a real ass-kicker who is motivated and energized -- and UNAFRAID -- to protect America from crime, including crimes by politicians or nominees of any political party. Start arresting criminals until they post bail. On Friday evenings. Let them sit in a jail cell over the weekend, like everybody else would.
If the guy can get off scott free after leading an attempted coup, a little (or a lot) bribery is nothing.
Well based on my companies anti corruption classes, this is the very definition of quid pro quo. In fact this is even more blatant that the example given in class. And thd “I was just joking” defense doesn’t apply.
So why is it only a possibility that DOJ is interested?
And once again, not a freaking thing will happen…. Next.
That is how I am feeling, too. Old white con men of means.... We truly are seeing how completely unfair and unjust our justice system is. none of us commoners would be out awaiting trial. We would already be in prison.
It’s crazy I was just thinking last night how for so many years I believed in our justice system and can’t believe how I see it unraveling under the pressure from Republicans. I’m so pissed about what’s happening in this country right now!
t-rump is absolutely rubbing it in the justice system's face. Hopefully that ends starting with a conviction in New York.
But look at what’s happening in Florida… he’s getting away with everything he always freaking does
Is there no one with balls enough to get this guy? How many times does he get to be this way with zero consequences?
I've been wondering the same freaking thing. If I were in a position to prosecute him, I would do it. The worst that would happen is his psycho "friends" in the Republican party would whine about it and call me immature names on tv and maybe even a few anonymous death threats.
It's starting to really bother me that he has so many "friends" in important positions of power to be able to stop or slow down any progress being made in taking him down. This guy is THE worst.
the only thing pathetic has been the DOJ and everything done to dump so far: nothing
you can call dump pathetic all you want, fact is, he has gotten away with everything he's wanted so far. Hows your finances? hows your life? don't call him pathetic if you're worse off, yeah? I hate the guy, but you can't say he isn't effective in this environment. dude gets everything he wants constantly.
Because he sleeps with the billionaires that run the world
The February 20th, 1933 meeting
Stay tuned for right wing outrage over something stupid like training wheels or helmet laws for kids.
This was discussed on NPR with legal experts. Although extremely unethical, because of current campaign finance laws. This is not against the law. So unfortunately nothing can be done. The only hope we have is to not vote for Trump in November.
....garland wants on scotus, and has decided that protecting and covering for gop J6 traitors is his best way of getting there...... dem leadership has apparently forgotten that those who aid and abet traitors are also traitors....
Will y'all leave the insufferable mob boss alone? He's Above The Law. 👁👁
No he's not. He's just being treated differently. Look at all the other Criminals that have gone to jail FOR him because they thought they were “above the law and there wouldn't be consequences”. J6 rioters, Guiliani is in Hiding, Bannons appeal got rejected and is going to prison. The rats are jumping ship or going down with the orange titanic!
Right, his mobsters take the hit. Mob boss walks... above the law.
Nope. These trials are going to take him down!
Get back with me when that happens. I only have 30-40 years of life left, but I'll wait.
Scoffs Uh we can just WATCH headlines on social media, or tv DUH because it’s going to be newsworthy whatever the outcome is.
DUH yourself. Standby to watch nothing happen, have a pleasant day.
Garland and Susan Collins are disappointed but they hope Trump finally learned his lesson this time..
The DOJ has slow-walked all of the important cases against Trump.
