Would a man who was working in Europe at an International Court for war criminals,

[pnwmom]

who had spent 5 years here as the head of a public corruption unit, leave his job in Europe to come here and NOT indict Trump?

[WA-03 Democrat]

1. Yes

Just like he did not with W and Chenye while he was assigned to that team.

He is from the law firm of Let's Just Move On.

We have seen this movie and the same ending every time

[secondwind]

4. Try not to be so pessimistic. I truly feel things will be

different now.

[WA-03 Democrat]

7. I feel we Democratics have played by the

rules and have lost the battle which is we are a nation of laws.

There are no rules except for the poor and powerless.

I wish it was different but we have to adapt and correct.

[Cha]

13. Mahalo, secondwind...

I remain Optimistic, too!

[Vdizzle]

17. Listen to Rachel Maddow's "Ultra" Podcast.

Start on Season 1, Episode 1. 80 years ago was not that different from today. The fascist bastards are at the gates. They are within our walls. Don’t let them seize their opportunity.

[barbtries]

26. i just started listening to it today.

it is literally not possible to not see the parallels. nothing changes. democracy is never guaranteed - good news is that fascism generally takes a fall. but the humanity.

[Phoenix61]

9. Could you post a link to a source?

I’ve tried to find one but haven’t been successful.

[pnwmom]

10. Was he leading that team or just assigned to it? Do you have a link,

because I can't find one?

[Joinfortmill]

18. Neither could I. Nothing, Nada.

[TwilightZone]

15. Source, please.

People keep making this claim, yet I haven't seen anyone back it up.

Please provide proof that he was in a decision-making role regarding Bush/Cheney.

[certainot]

21. republican/russian trolling?

[Kennah]

16. When was Jack Smith assigned to investigate W/Cheney?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

2. No. Obviously not.

[msfiddlestix]

3. Good point, and that begs the question for me, what do we know about those cases he prosecuted

specifically? i.e. Were they successful prosecutors, how many were there and were heads of state included in any of these cases?

sort of curious in this instance... maybe I'll spend a little time researching the background on these cases in a few days or after the holidays more like it.

or maybe some one else will, and post their findings /analysis etc.

interesting ...

[MarineCombatEngineer]

5. Great point pnwmom.

You are absolutely correct.

[Sneederbunk]

6. Doesn't matter. It is ultimately Garland's call.

[RockRaven]

8. Well, as a human being, he would necessarily not have perfect foresight, so... maybe, yeah.

It's certainly possible.

[revmclaren]

11. 3,2,1....for the But, But, Buts....

But it's taking soooooo long!
But someone's being paid off!
But there is enough evidence...Indite Now!!!
But I Know he will Never be charged.

So many legal 'experts' on DU that I'm amazed that the justice department doesn't use the expertise of these 'experts' to throw tRump in jail RIGHT NOW!



The raid on tRumps 'fortress of ineptitude' happened just this year, not two years ago.

Rushing into impeaching tRump caused an actual backlash to Democrats IMHO. This cannot be rushed.

I'm going to wait and watch....because I'm not involved and I'm not an expert and neither are most, if not all DUers.

End of rant.

[PortTack]

12. This

[luv2fly]

14. Absolutely

And the "legal experts" in the media are just as bad as those here, coming out of the woodwork to proclaim the special prosecutor is the best thing since sliced cheese, or the worst, depending on the "expert."

Only Garland and his team know what's going on, everything else is just one more opinion. And most are barely worth reading, but when one puts themselves in the right frame of mind, they are certainly entertaining.

[Joinfortmill]

19. Yup.

[betsuni]

20. +1

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Hope someone reminds him that trump is guilty of

crimes against humanity. Hiding Covid and withholding PPE.

[barbtries]

25. stealing babies from their families

at the border.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Yes! He admitted it himself, that he throws a million balls up in there

I sure do wish we could get our priorities straight. And focus in on the most egregious acts.

Meanwhile, the big news, is people couldn't get tickets to Taylor Swift.

[Meowmee]

28. This

[grantcart]

23. He is serious as a heart attack

[barbtries]

24. i sure as hell hope not. nt

[Celerity]

29. I hope not.
