Most reasonable people have an issue with biased law enforcement.

John Durham set out to prove that it existed in the Justice Dept by prosecuting  corrupt officials. He failed to find any.

Seems dotting and crossing are taking a very long time. Jan 6 was almost 2 years ago. Just how slow is the American justice system?

Educate yourself on the Clinton Whitewater investigation to see how long Republicans will draw out investigations of Democrats.

Really, you live there, so you should know how long cases can take. I had cases go for al ost 5 years before I testified at Trial, between evidence gathering discovery, motions etc.  Look at how Trump has filed this and that and still not complied.... 

 

Seems like the Republicans are not making the invrstigation a priority, but oh well, it has now been moved to a special council they have no control over.

Right. But It's certainly not detrimental to those who do everything they can to delay it.

Agreed, but surely it's not a very good system if that can happen?

As an outsider it seems like a system designed by lawyers to make lawyers rich.

Some, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., even said that Republicans should use their newly won control of the U.S. House of Representatives to cut off funding for the investigation next Congress.

Maybe send in the 'Gazpacho' police to investigate any 'wonton' killings while eating the 'peach tree dishes' while charging their 'Jewish space lasers'!

 

Seriously, quoting Marjorie Taylor Greene?!?!?!

The system is designed to ensure the defendant gets as much time as needed to defend himself. The defense gets unlimited continuances for any and everything, but if the prosecution needs a continuance it must be because of an act of god occurred.  I had a case dismissed because I was in Trial in another courtroom and the defense would not waive time as they knew I was tied up, and would not assist in granting the continuance.  Because of that the judge dismissed the case and the DA decided not to refile it....sad state of affairs when that happens.

It appears Trump has figured out an ingenious way to get out of his criminal predicaments....

"Some, like Marjorie Taylor Greene...". That would presumably be the crazed election deniers and their Fox-watching fans.

The last time Republicans ran the House, the likely next speaker, then-Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, bragged about using the Benghazi investigation, a two-year, $7-million spectacle to hurt Hillary Clinton's chances of becoming president. They never found any wrongdoing: they were just playing politics. And now they're trying to do it again.

The family of a Capitol Police officer who died by suicide after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol said the Justice Department has recognized the death as occurring in the line of duty, a classification that allows his family to qualify for certain benefits.

Looks like Trump's appointed Special Master may be ditched..................lol

 

US court appears inclined to end special master review of Trump papers

The US court of appeals for the 11th circuit appeared inclined on Tuesday to agree with the justice department to potentially curtail the special master review of documents the FBI seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence for potential privilege protections.

The result of the hearing is consequential for Trump: should he lose, it could mark the end of the special master process on which he has relied to delay, and gain more insight into, the investigation surrounding his potential mishandling of national security information.

Seems Donald now has more problems with courts agreeing with him.

There are some posters who routinely complain about how long investigations take.  They should be thrilled if this delaying tactic is ended.

Considering 51 FBI agents said that Hunter 'laptop was Russian disinformation and got social media to ban all posts about it,  I have absolutely no faith in any prosecution against Trump (or anyone non Dem) or the politicised US justice system.

 

If there was equality, Hunter would be being prosecuted now.

 

I cannot see how anyone can say it is NOT politically motivated when seeing absolutely no prosecution on Hunter, the US border fiasco and for the BLM riots. Name one current Democrat scandal being prosecuted ? 

 

I'm not pro Trump, but sheesh, the one sidedness here so obvious

This post did not age well.
