Congress can’t indict people. They can have hearings and impeachment trials. But not criminal trials. Please don’t expect criminal trials and then blame democrats when you don’t get them. Midterms are step one. We have to win in 2028 and add seats to SCOTUS to hold people criminally accountable.

Yep! But they can’t indict them. They can only impeach and hold a senate trial. They can make criminal referrals, but they won’t be indicted until we elect a Dem potus who will appoint a strong AG to replace Blanche (or whoever is AG at the end of Trump’s term)

Yes. And House impeachment functions as an indictment, the Senate vote functions as a conviction, and removal from office as the penalty/sentence. Not the same nor equivalent, of course, but it does remove any immunity by right? of office.

My hope was the states would start pressing charges. Bovino is out, Noem is out. Start there because at least there is accountability and the Pres can't pardon them. I think most of us want someone to stand up and hold these criminals accountable. We can't even stop nominations.
