LINK INCLUDES TABLE OF CRIMES

Donald Trump has been credibly accused of committing at least 48 criminal offenses while he was serving as President of the United States or campaigning for that office. Those offenses are listed in the table below, which includes possible offenses that were investigated by the Department of Justice while President Trump was in office as well as possible offenses that have not been the subject of any confirmed reported investigation. While he was in office, President Trump was protected by the DOJ’s policy of not indicting a sitting president, but that policy of course does not apply to a former president. The table does not include potential crimes being investigated by authorities in New York relating to the Trump Organization.

Despite Donald Trump’s staggering record of likely criminal misconduct as president and candidate for that office, he has not been charged with a single criminal offense. While adherence to the rule of law requires that prosecutors pursue criminal indictments only where the facts, law, and principles of prosecution support such action, it is also critical that no individual be insulated from accountability simply because they are a national political figure, a former president or a candidate for public office. Choosing not to pursue accountability for fear of the political criticism or consequences is itself a deeply political act.

“If President Trump avoids criminal prosecution for these potential offenses because prosecutors are unwilling to pursue legally justified cases against him, the message to him and future presidents will be clear: you can commit crimes with impunity.”

1. Some of those are more than five years old

Ah, actually, I noticed they have a color-coded "likely statute of limitations" column in the chart.

Anyway, you are:

(a) being insufficiently patient,

(b) unaware of all the careful work being done by prosecutors in putting the cases together,

(c) criticizing the DoJ instead of the actual criminals, or

(d) all of the above.

As punishment, there will be five more threads posted to GD not specifically referencing this post or that website and complaining about Debbie Downers who think they know what the DoJ or NY prosecutors are up to.

How dare you, etc.

5. Can't think of ANYTHING I'd rather see than some kind of rebuttal list!!!!

Now THAT would be glorious!!!

To me, SOL irrelevant since it means he got away with it.

9. Throw us a bone.

A speeding ticket to one of the kids... ANYTHING!

10. Ivanka has a seriously overdue library book

But I believe the maximum penalty for that one in particular is that UPenn could withhold any requested transcript reports pending payment of the accumulated fees.

'Zat work for you?

18. If that doesn't warrant a perp walk, I don't know what does.

Librarians can be harsh masters. (according to several US State Legislatures, anyway) SSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!

2. What Do We Have To Do To Get Someone In Law Enforcement To Charge Him?

Any one.

We only know the tip of the iceberg.

RFN!

12. And these people (those that charge others w/ crimes etc.), prosecutors, etc.,

lament when not enough charges are filed, etc., and dress up the charges in order to look good when they run for their next elected office. When do they ever charge for a crime when their own safety, their own future is at risk? Something is wrong here and the clock keeps ticking, and nothing is happening. Do we really have that many cowards in the Justice Department?

I have an ugly feeling that we do, that we do have a lot of cowards in our so-called Justice Department, that Bill Barr obviously gutted out, got rid of those that actually stood up for the law, charged those that actually broke the law, etc.

13. I am sure there are far more than 48

As others have said. The worst is the murder of over 1 million here which he will walk free in for sure. Add to that the war crimes in Ukraine which he helped facilitate.

14. How about we simply change rules to commit crimes while in office you forfeit your pension.

That is all. Just no pension, no perks for life, not for you. No secret service either. All benefits gone. Since apparently these rules and laws (or whatever they call them) are never actually enforced. There must be consequences.

You can't raise a child without teaching them about consequences but apparently our elected officials somehow get to escape them.

15. Garland refuses to hold Trump accountable.

It's truly sick that Trump gets away with everything.

[smirkymonkey]

16. It's sickening.

We will never see him punished for any of his many crimes. There is no such thing as the rule of law in this nation for rich white men. I am so disgusted.

17. And he still walks free. Criminal.

(Pun intended).

19. When you are a sex trafficker you tend not to get charged with crimes.

Behold, the power of kompromat.
