Therefore, your "opining" on how the DOJ may "slow down" the Espionage Act investigation of Donnie Short Fingers, so as not to "interfere with an election" is BULLSHIT!
No! It's worse than bullshit. It's an "in-kind" contribution to fascism.
So, let's unpack this.
A fucking former president is being investigated for violating THE ESPIONAGE ACT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that enough exclamation points for you too understand that the STORY IS A FORMER PRESIDENT IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR VIOLATING THE ESPIONAGE ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????
It's NOT "oh, should DOJ apply it's memo on investigations of candidates to a private citizens that IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR ANY OFFICE? Not even Dogcatcher or Coroner.
It's NOT "Hunter Biden's Laptop"
It's NOT what "incitement for violence is spewed at some fucked up zombie rally"
It's NOT "what are the latest lies coming out of the face-anus of a fucking criminal fascist with a shaved Golden Retrievers Ass on his head.
Have we really gotten to the point where the media is "bothsidering" espionage?
I guess I could save some time and words by just asking the media to use their "Google Machines" to search "propagandist of the Nuremberg Trials".
They should at least know what fate awaits them if they follow his evil orange circus clown over the fucking cliff.

(21,319 posts)she sees no problem with DOJ working for a Trump indictment, behind the scenes, out of the public view.
I am all for indicting Trump whenever because he's not on the ballot, but I will defer to Garland. One more favor for Trump while he calls for violence against Garland and the FBI. I guess it's what makes America great, we go out of our way to make sure the fascists have all of their rights and norms protected.
I refuse to watch Steve Kornacki for 2 months while the insurrection continues. I am counting on DU members to keep me informed.

(22,034 posts)Just because theres an election coming up and isnt there always? doesnt mean that criminal investigations have to halt. This is an unwritten idea that shouldnt be followed.
As the OP points out, Trump isnt on any ballot so affording him the courtesy of delay sounds like favorable treatment of a suspect. Thats a terrible position to take and it threatens the rule of law in that its giving preferential treatment to Trump.
Indict him now. As it is, some of the J6 insurrectionists will be re-elected to their offices. This sound unbalanced to me. Isnt it a function of law enforcement to protect the people? Ive seen that written on the sides of their police vehicles. The DOJ should be protecting our Constitution not Trump and his band of traitors.

(21,319 posts)When Comey publicly announced the additional "bogus" investigation into Hillary's emails 11 days before the election, did the MSM respond with outrage that DOJ violated its norms?
I guarantee if DOJ indicts Trump before the election the MSM will scream to high heaven that DOJ is being partisan.
I did a post trying to explain what Democrats are up against.

(21,319 posts)that indicting Trump will fire up his base to turn out. My opinion of that is that it will fire up Democrats to turn out in Larger numbers, exactly the way it happened for Joe Biden. Trump got a record turnout, but Joe got a larger record turnout.

(10,167 posts)flooding the zone with more lies and bullshit, the harder it will be to eventually (if ever) hold him accountable. Trump's theft and misuse of top secret documents, along with all his many crimes committed leading up to the 1/6 insurrection, will soon be flushed down the memory hole by our corporate media.

(21,319 posts)I agree 100%. The longer it goes, the harder it will be to hold him accountable.
The excuse for needing time to gather evidence does not cut it for several of Trump's crimes. The evidence is there, what is needed now is the will to pull the trigger. It is an enormous decision but it is needed to save our democracy.

(1,686 posts)Hes something. After mounting an unsuccessful violent insurrection against our country, youd think he wouldn't want to show his face in public. Not this asshole. Why is that ? Cause if you dont stop a bully in his tracks from the get go, he just keeps bullying until someone or something stops him.
What should have happened right after he took office in 2016, the leaders of congress ( both parties) should have marched into the White House and told him in no uncertain terms, that they were in charge and if he tried to bully them, they would band together to impeach and convict him and throw his ass out. Everyone in congress knew who he was and should have stepped up. Course they didnt and now look at the mess we all ( including the republicans) have to deal with.

(14,145 posts)We are all sick of seeing and hearing the Tangerine Tyrant.
We are sick of the media trying to normalize this Fascist fuck and acting like he was relevant in the spheres of contemporary politics.
Shut this Fascist fuck up and be done with him before he trashes and tears apart our American Democracy. His goal is to leave it in torn and tattered shreds so that it becomes totally dysfunctional and irreparable.
We must remove his name from the front page headlines of the MSM, unless and only if it pertains to his criminal prosecution. We must shut his lying mouth up - and finally we must dismantle his ability to excite and encourage political violence by his Fascist whacked out minions who he gets all fired up at his Nazi Rallies.
We must move beyond Donald Trump who is nothing but a psychotic sociopathic delusional narcissist. Who's goal is to dismantle, destroy, and decimate America with his grand schemes of debasement and incremental scales of destruction. His mission is to tear this country apart - we must stop him dead in his tracks before he succeeds in achieving that goal.
If Trump can not finagle the reins of power that give him total dictatorial powers over America he will lash-out in anger and burn America to the ground so that all that remains is a heap of glowing embers and smokey ashes.
We can not stand by patiently watching as this evil man is permitted to do this.
