Acting on a mix of principle and caution, Justice Department officials under former President Joe Biden made a series of decisions that significantly delayed and ultimately may have hampered the federal criminal investigations into President Donald Trump, according to a new book.
The slow decision-making at the top of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Justice Department affected two major probes into Trump after he lost the White House in 2020: whether he illegally possessed and obstructed the retrieval of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, and whether he conspired illegally to overturn the 2020 election.
So, you think the justice system should be set up more like how Donald Trump uses it? Just point at your enemy and throw them in jail? Is that how you expect to get “meaningful change”? By simply ignoring the law, and doing whatever the crowd “feels” is justice?
If we’re going to fix anything in this country, we need to follow the law…not find new ways to get around it. And that applies to everyone. Every single person that aided and abetted Trump and his administration, should be prosecuted. But not by some lunch mob mentality. It should be done right. With evidence and due process. If it isn’t, then your entire idea of “justice” isn’t legitimate.
That’s not “apologetics”. You guys have lost your credibility, making arguments like these. This is no better than the so-called “logic” that drives MAGA. They think the system is broken, so fuck the law…just do whatever it takes to “fix” things. And anyone who says they shouldn’t, is part of the problem.
Does that sound familiar? It should. And it should also give you pause.
Oh, you do sound familiar.
You sound like some of the most resounding failures of the Democratic party which have consistently and unrelentingly ceded both the conversation and the ground on which we fight to fascism. You sound like the “we know better” corporate Democrat who refuses to fight.
You also “sound” like someone making an intentional and bad faith strawman as their side has entirely lost their grip on the conversation.
This “sounds” like one of those accusations which is actually a confession. The liberal/ neo-liberal contingent of the Democratic party, and of parties globally is who has lost credibility by handing the entire government to fascism, and so they want to threaten the people, who for the past 25 years, have been apologetically saying speaking about the consequences of groups like the Democratic parties acquiescence into fascism.
Liberals and Neoliberals sacrificed their credibility on the altar of insisting that Biden run again. The sacrificed their credibility for the “norms” that the Biden administration “must follow” for us to have “political normalcy” post January 6th 2021.
AND YOU in bad faith, interpret that as an advocator for’ crime, or god knows what-else hand-wringing you are implying.
The fact is that liberal and neoliberal apologists sleepwalked us into fascism and then blamed the ref when they chose not to act to purge it entirely from our system from 2021-2025. At this point its no longer about the politicians, but their defenders in online media, social media, and traditional media. Those apologists are the ones responsible for where we are, and need to be purged on sight.
So, let me see if I can sum your argument up…you think that only “liberals / neoliberals” believe in laws, due process and evidence based justice?
Is it your opinion that you can only fight fascism through violence? Because if that’s true, then you are walking all of us into their trap, like a sheep to slaughter.
Good sheep. You’re giving them exactly what they want. Are you at least getting paid to pave the way for them, or are you working for them, for free?
I mean I’ve already given you far more grace than you deserve. You are the apologist who paved the road for fascism.
Sorry, man. It’s the fascists that justify abandoning the rule of law. You don’t fight something by becoming it.
You aren’t a person anyone should listen to when it comes to ideas for how to fight fascism, when you are the one laying down the red carpet for it.
And thankfully, no one is. Your side lost all credibility from 2008 onwards.
No one should listen to you.
Oh, ok. And how your “fight against fascism” going?
Why should anyone listen to you on this topic, when all you’re advocating for, is to either do nothing at all (which is what you’re doing now), or to get a lot of people killed (which seems to be what you want).
Democrats followed your advice from 2008-2024
It gave us Trump.
You no longer have a place here.
This is more of Murc’s Law - Republicans and the conservatives have no agency, only the Democratic Party does.
The Democratic Party is responsible for Trump?
No. Democrats not listening to their constituents is what got us here. People not showing up to vote because they assumed their vote didn’t matter, is what got us here. We outnumber them by millions. If every one of those people had shown up to vote, Trump would be in prison right now, without a single drop of blood shed.
But, if you think violence is the only solution to all this…then you are no different than any of Trump’s thugs. Because that’s their solution to everything.
