Incomprehensible that pos is still free to move about & continue grifting!

I had really held hopes that the human garbage would be remanded to custody immediately when knocked off the golden throne.

Ty for posting!

And the previous New York Times article that they referenced was one discussed in Mary Trump's book - she got documents for the reporting team. And they did a really good job with a very complicated issue. Between the NYT and Merrick Garland, let's hope that the time is up for "Individual 1!"

For Merrick to take the reins!

How is confirmation looking? I just cannot tolerate any more qpuke obstructionist bs. This is why I've been largely absent from DU. qpuke bs is beyond infuriating!

Beyond a legally dubious self-pardon, Trump had no authority to directly subvert a criminal prosecution. That had to be done by Barr and/or DOJ officials. If Barr doesn't go to prison it means the entire DOJ is open for business when it comes to politically influencing criminal prosecutions. That's an extremely dangerous precedent for this country.
