It has never been late trying to nail bogus charges. The House Oversight and Accountability chaired by Gym Jordan and Gomer Pyle have been busy trying to nail Hunter for years with no evidence. 

Meanwhile Hunter is awaiting sentencing on the charges the DOJ did not let the statute clock run out on,

Translation: release the evidence when it's the enemy but not when it's our ally.

The DOJ has the "evidence". Bring charges, or let it go.

I think Trump and his cabinet want to restore the rule of law.

 

Jan 6, 2021 is evidence that yours is just wishful thinking. Another indication is the unusual high number of admitted and investigated drug users and abusers among his top picks. And yet another is Trump's first term, when the federal fiscal deficit exploded, and the seeds of inflation were firmly planted in the American economy.

 

Don't get me wrong: I wish you and the USA the best. And I appreciate exchanging opinions with people whose optimism triumphs over experience and evidence.

It's really amusing how people can defend the appointment of a lowlife creep like Gaetz as Attorney General, and at the same time talk about Trump wanting to defend the rule of law. It's incredible that his supporters cannot see the contradiction in that. It is Trump's desire to destroy the justice department and avenge himself.

 

What that has to do with law and order is beyond my comprehension. Perhaps someone can explain that to me. 

Unsubstantiated charges make him a creep? The DOJ did an investigation. If they think he is guilty they should bring charges,

 As for Gaetz? It's sort of a balancing act.  Many people seem to think he has done a good job in his official capacity, and for that reason are willing to turn the page on any past transgressions in his personal life. As for Trump wanting to "destroy the justice department and avenge himself"?  Have you not been paying attention to what they did to Trump? I won't rehash all that, but there are some bad actors that need to be rooted out. Most of the people in those agencies weren't involved and do a good job from day to day.  Rooting out the bad actors will not "destroy" anything.

And Biden would be Claudius!

Nice comparison.  On the mark!    But 89% of the forum members probably won't get it.

I don't want to be pedantic, but Claudius succeeded Caligula.

 

That rather suggests that, if one follows my rather tongue in cheek reference to Vance being Caligula ( succeeding Trump as Tiberius - the original comparison, not mine) then you are expecting Biden to return as the successor to Vance!

 

I know that it is a long time since I (and I suspect most of us for that matter) studied Ancient Rome, but I really don't think American Presidential politics, although in many ways producing some extraordinary characters, is quite that bizarre!

Okay even if you set aside charges that were mysteriously dropped, what about his experience? Doesn't that count for anything? He graduated from a low ranked Law School, he practiced very low end general law for two years, and he has zero experience in the Judiciary.

 

Does that not mean anything to you? Is there any objectivity at all remaining in your thought process?

You guys are funny. That's exactly what the dems said in the Biden "corruption" case for years.

Again, no charges were brought, much less mysteriously dropped.

 

I think it is fine to attack him on his perceived lack of qualifications. 

 

I do not know much about Gaetz, but was it not RFK that JFK appointed as AG that was 35 and had never tried a case?

I think it worth noting that the same people attacking Gaetz at attacking every appointment.

So true Yellowtail, these people suffer from the dreaded Trump derangement syndrome.
