There was a lot of "hello fellow crimer, are you excited about our upcoming crimes?", followed by "wasn't that criming the best?" We shouldn't forget how brazen much of it was.

Every law school “incitement” fact patten is like; “it’s very hard to prove this crime but the most frequent circumstances involve a speaker before an agitated crowd”.

He was picked to do this, he's too close to Trump people, @sarahkendzior.bsky.social said this would happen from day one. Kinda thought she was a bit paranoid then, she certainly was proven right.

Indeed, Trump is dumber and more reckless than the traditional Mafia don

Like Biden handled DeJoy and the destruction of the postal service

For those of you too young to remember, W’s second AG got blackballed by Wall Street and had to settle for a professorship at 1/3 of the pay. People assumed it was because of the torture program, it was actually a warning to future Dem AGs NOT to investigate the GOP. Which they heeded.

Yeah, DOJ folks weren't happy with the Jan 6th committee activities - which didn't recommend prosecution for Trump until Dec 2022, a month after R's took back the House. I guess ppl would be happier if DOJ is had told Congress - don't do anything now - we have an investigation underway. Really?

not to be confused with the chickenshit club sandwich

100%

Yeah but at least they got a bunch of convictions for the Jan 6th insurrection, the biggest investigation ever! It's not like that was completely useless and immediately mooted by the crime boss they let walk away coming back to pardon them all anyway. /is handed a note Oh dear... Oh no...

I am with Marcy Wheeler on “Garland / Monaco seized protected phones from lawyer co-conspirators and then spent the next year and a half getting access to their contents and breaking down lawyer-client confidentiality” so the info could be used at trial. Garland moved fast - legal system is slooow.

Trump should have been arrested on Biden's first day.

the NYT piece is from March 24, to be clear lol

Chickenshit Club was a great book. May need to re-read now.

democrats are frustrated and outraged that guys like Platner are sneaking through the primary process and taking power (potentially) and yet at no point are they going to look in the mirror and bring up the complete failure of, say, Robert Muller. Entire offices of cowards hiding from duty.

They had everything they needed to prosecute him in publicly available tweets and CNN/Fox News clips but they decided, insanely, that the only way to make it stick was to try to come up with a convoluted conspiracy underpinning what was already plainly, obviously happening right out in the open.

You don’t say

💯

We have recordings of Trump calling Georgia election officials demanding they alter the vote count and every time I remember that I have to take the dog for a long fucking walk.

I'm not sure if they'll be moderate or progressive, but we desperately need the next President and Congress to be full of resist libs.

But they got Rudy's phone, man. Don't you understand. Rudy's. Phone.

Thanks, lad. Useful, it is. archive.is/SWqUJ

Merrick Garland was a joke and Biden was a joke for selecting him.

McConnell had the opportunity and did nothing

fundamentally the problem is that Biden was an egomaniac who thought the self-abnegation of not going after Trump would burnish his credentials as a modern Cincinnatus; then he went out and hired a guy who wanted to run the exact same hustle

“There was nothing anyone could have legally done to prevent Trump from getting re-elected” is ominous coming from people who will almost certainly have to Trump-proof our institutions going forward.

no matter what was in Joe Biden's heart, he should've canned Garland's ass and gotten someone who would do the job. that he didn't is the only story we should care about.

...and there's no risk that John Gotti or El Chapo gets to throw YOU in jail if the clock runs out.

And Charles Manson. But Manson went to prison anyway. We can only hope.
