Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI'm hoping for rigorous investigations into:
Russian interference in our elections and GOP collusion;
money laundering by the NRA;
violations of the Hatch Act;
use of US foreign policy and the office of the presidency for private gain;
abuse of the Trump inauguration fund;
scams around the "border wall";
the deliberate dismantling of the US Postal Service;
links between police forces and far right groups;
the botched response to the COVID pandemic;
and on and on and on.
The Attorney General should be given the resources needed to investigate and where warranted bring indictments against all the malefactors who saw the Trump presidency as an invitation to loot the treasury and defraud the American public.
We need to do what we can, legally and ethically, to insure we never again come so close to losing our democracy.

Nor can we afford for the malefactors and wannabe tyrant enablers to escape justice.

(10,429 posts)like NY likely will on many of the charges, I'm fine with that. In fact, that's probably better as it takes away the ability of the squabbling noisemakers on Fox to whine about "witch hunts".
But they all need to be indicted, tried, convicted and thrown straight the fuck into a leaky, drafty, rat-infested jail cell.

Only thing is, when people say "We need to do what we can, legally and ethically, to insure we never again come so close to losing our democracy." is that it's actually the elected office holders who must do it. I have no doubt that is the will of the people. We somehow have to make sure the people we elected actually do it. No more "look forward not backward". No "making nice" with magats.
MF45 & Co committed the crimes, stole, lied, cheated and they MUST face consequences worthy of those crimes.
