I have a poll for you to consider:

 

1. Will Trump be indicted? (for anything, jay-walking, spitting on the sidewalk,

insurrection)

 

2. No Indictment of Trump.

 

Pick 1 or 2. and please indicate what he will be indicted for.

2 qualified.

He may be indicted, but I reckon he won't be convicted.

Despite his almost total fail in the past election, IMO the Democrats still feel threatened by him, hence the overwhelming desire by them to render him unable to stand again.

To be convicted in a fair trial, it needs some actual words or deeds that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to overthrow the government, and that is very much lacking in an objective sense. Hopefully all the subjective ranting will be left at the courtroom door.

It's been very quiet round these parts since criminal charges were referred against Trump. The Trump sycophants have largely been missing in action.

 

It looks like Fox isn't covering this.  Does omission fall into the same kind of egregiousness as fabrication? 

Just checked their site, the top story is a remark Harris made regarding the border.  I don't have the stomach to for the rest of the MAGA sites.

If not for the likes I wouldn't know who you were supporting, but I assume your "lap issue" is an off topic reference to Hunter Biden. Hopefully his turn will be coming post 3 January 2023.

So responding to a comment made about Hillary is off topic but responding to a comment made about Hunter is ok.

Did you even read my reply before posting? I said "but I assume your "lap issue" is an off topic reference to Hunter Biden."

 

I bolded the relevant part so you can't miss it.

Yes, I read. So you state it is off topic but replied. I presume you consider your post ok, so in your opinion responding to a comment about Hunter is ok.

End of, this is off topic and not ok

Never mind, I have no problem defending him as IMO there is nothing to defend.

Does this mean you think his record is perfect or that he's an absolute nullity?

Jordan is one of the reps referred to the ethics committee.

 

Republican ‘shadow committee’ issues counter-report on Jan. 6

 

But after Pelosi vetoed the appointment of Banks and Jordan, McCarthy pulled the rest of his picks.

 

Not included in the report is other public information about the activities of congressional leadership on Jan. 6 scrambling to try to get the National Guard to the Capitol, or any mention that there were hours of inaction from former President Trump.

 

It does include statements from Trump urging demonstrators to be “peaceful,” but omits other statements like telling his supporters to “fight like hell.”

There are many more who need to be prosecuted and thrown in jail, I have no idea why the DOJ isn’t much more pro-active in these cases.

If a ( IMO ) pro Biden DOJ is reluctant to prosecute could it possibly be that they don't have any actual evidence that would lead to a conviction?

Even the DOJ needs some hope that they will win cases before bringing prosecutions.

That really isn't the test. They may have evidence but if there is a reasonable risk of losing the DoJ may not proceed to charge the hardest crime to prove. The DoJ may well settle on lesser charges. My take from watching various experts on TV is that they are not likely to charge insurrection, We will see. Charges relating to the stolen documents are quite likely. No charges at all is extremely unlikely.

The Trump era has gone, the DoJ is working again as it should, independently.

LOL. How about addressing the reason I gave about why they ain't prosecuting all those naughty people referenced in the post I quoted.

Two minutes after the transcripts were release to the DoJ (and everybody else) you want action and suggest the lack of it is an indication of anything?

LOL. You are confusing me with rudi49jr. I'm not calling for any action, but he was.

 

So, now you know who is calling for action you can address your post to him. I shan't hold my breath waiting for you to do so though.

Pretty sure i replied to you about your own comment.

LOL, when you say "addressing" you mean speculate wildly, just like you do?

Is that akin to throwing ketchup on the wall and hope some stick ????
