Remember when some of us DUers promised that the Slobfather would soon be a pariah

and ReTHUGs would suddenly pretend they never supported him?
Get the popcorn - the descent to oblivion will be fun to watch.
DUers called him Humpty Dumpty long before the New York Post.

Come on AG - indict him now!

1. Garland will have to wait until after Trump's Big Announcement.

so as to not appear to be partisan.

Honestly, I don't think the announcement will be about running for president, I think he is going to endorse a new line of Depends Just For Manly Men.

I said in another thread that I have intuition and I was pretty close in the election, I have a chance to be 100% correct. I agree with you about the beginning of the end for MF45. There are signs. I can feel a tremor in the Slobfather's force field.

Blaming Melania for Oz was pretty freaking desperate.

Isn't the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? This is the 2nd time MF45 cost the Magats the Senate. Poor Mitch, we should hold a pity party, or at least send thoughts and prayers.

I hope Trump campaigns for Walker, I know he wants to.

make moves to prosecute Trump, unless he lost political influence with his people?

And we have had it for a while. What is slowing down the process is the fear of what his supporters would do if Trump were indicted. That's my belief.

for the stolen top secret documents and subsequent obstruction of justice, slam dunk cases.

Seditious conspiracy is too complicated and difficult to prove, I don't care if Garland takes a pass on that.

Garland is not afraid of what the Magats will do, Garland is an Institutionalist and as such he will be setting a precedent by indicting a former president. There is a reason that Garland was confirmed by the Senate 70-30 yet Kristen Clarke, the head of DOJ's civil rights division was only confirmed 51-48. Garland is an honest patriotic man who makes a better judge than an AG.

Garland must understand that not indicting Trump is worse than indicting him, the stolen top secret documents should have made that perfectly clear.

Garland's pyramid strategy was a big mistake, it took too long to investigate the people at the top. He was forced into indicting Bannon, he was forced into investigating the fake electors from a referral from the Michigan SOS, he was forced into investigating the missing top secret documents from a request from the National Archives.

It all started back when he did nothing to stop the Cyber Ninjas, it allowed the Big Lie to spread across the country.

Yeah, I have been hard on Garland, is that a bad thing?

When 1 of our major political parties subverts our democracy it is time to stop with the, I must be non-partisan bs.

He was always a paraiah, the GQP leadership didn't have the bones to deal with him knowing his ambitions in 2015.

We have three videos on the way about him and the Republicans and their media, and to have a maximum impact and laugh potential, he has to stay in the headlines a few weeks longer. I’m sure the media and his ego have that much staying power….
