Don't bother calling the FBI it's either gonna be shut down or everyone in power replaced

And your cousin will get pardoned in three months anyway.

Only if they can pay the $1 Million+ that Trump charges for those.

He's not going to pardon all of the insurrectionists. They were thrown under the bus before they left the original rally point. They're just too stupid to realize it because they want to believe that he actually gave a shit about them. Otherwise their entire self identity is in question.

At the speed the DOJ moves, it will be 2032 before they even begin prosecuting

What are you gonna do if we call, Jack? Sit with your thumb up your ass for four years and accomplish nothing?

Blame merrick garland. Jack Smith did what he could.

I think they both dragged their feet and chickened out.

[–] lennybird 8 points 3 days ago

Nah. They engaged in textbook bottom-up investigation knowing they'd be prosecuting a former president and going up against stacked courts.

The stacked courts delayed everything. Would've happened regardless; the only difference is if Garland/Smith rushed, they might risk a lack of corroborating evidence to convince a jury or lose on technicalities.

As much as it pains me to say it, I'd rather this than a jury returning a Not Guilty.

The biggest bullshit post-election is this scapegoating Garland. That we knew Trump was a convicted felon and pending 3 other trials and still voted for him is kind of a bigger problem.

Jack Smith just did the best thing he could do by dropping the charges now.

In January they'd be dismissed with prejudice. By dropping them now, they can be re-filed when Trump leaves office.

[–] Theprogressivist 3 points 3 days ago

Ain't Jack's fault. He was doing his best with this lame duck DOJ. Garland is to blame.

Also the number for your local fire department for when your half drunk relative decides to try out that deep fried turkey cooking method he watched on Youtube once.

Makes me wonder, how many Americans have a pet turkey that can make phonecalls?

[–] Mirshe 3 points 4 days ago

No no, it's capitalized, so it's referring to the country of Türkiye and just hasn't caught up with the name change.
