They should leave now while they can. Hire security & fight from abroad thru their own attorneys. For the next 4+ years the #RedRegime wants only "accidental" open window falls.
Of course, he does. He's vengeful & retributive. He also needs to keep up the big lie to keep his followers in line. He may issue pardons for large swaths of Jan. 6th criminals. https://youtube.com/live/PJSAcWtonSU?feature=share
No kidding. Old news as this moron been saying this for years. Now to see what the media will write about it or will others go kiss is ass like Joe and Mika.
As Kamala Harris said, one day one she would have had a “To Do” list while Trump will have an enemies list. One thing Trump won’t be focused on is the problems of the millions of voters who believed his lies.
When fascists stifle dissent, democracy is gone. When good people have to hire lawyers and private security or think about leaving the country just because they did their jobs and had the courage to tell the truth, we are in big trouble. Your fellow Americans voted for this.
The poorly educated were clueless about this(just want to buy eggs) and the felon🤡’s rich cronies & CEO’s couldn’t care less because they just want to fill their stretchy pockets more and maintain power. 😈🤡🎪
His own damn republicans told him there was no Fraud!! Russia cheated for him in 16 to win !! He lost in 2020!! He lost in 2024!! We know what Elon and Russia did to help him win!! Remember Putin said he has obligations to fulfill for their help!! Elon manipulated STARLINK FOR HIS VOTES TO WIN😡
#ConvictedFelonTraitorTrump will waste taxpayer $ on investigating the 2020 election, so he can produce a lie out of some bit of information to appease his huge ego over losing. More fodder for the MAGA idiots & the information/lie will be abused to arrest his enemies.
Disgusting that in America, you know, the country formed on the premise of rule of law, that prosecutors can be fired for applying the law to investigate, charge, and prosecute law breakers.
They should not! They should double dare him and then sue the hell out of him. I'm sure there are billionaires who would love to take that orange one to court
Becaue he won the election and will run the DOJ, and all the cases against him will go away. The Jack Smith case? Gone. Hush money case already on hold. And a media that sanewashed his crimes the last 8 years ain't gonna improve now.
Yap. He’s been on tv every days for 12yrs promoting lies. The lies became truth and vice versa. He will cast the blame on truth enforcement n try to jail them, just like Turkish leader and Putin.
Agreed. That was due to old-style thinking and strategy, not being aggressive enough; regardless, Biden was incapable of doing so. Its just not him. Which was SO costly.
Its still important to shout that the policy of Trump is destroying democracy and it's guardrails and norms...
They have to hold town hall meetings because doing it in congress is useless. Gotta be more aggressive than current. Grieving is useless unless followed by action
Totally, that's definitely one way. One other thing Biden admin didn't do, & Harris couldn't do it fully: blame & shame Trump/MAGA/GOP. The Dems have to create & build THEIR narrative far better & promote & communicate it RELENTLESSLY.
There's already a great playbook for how to do that: TRUMP!
I agree with you. Daily Town hall meetings where people are told the truth.
It’ll take two years for retirees to be approved for SS because govt employees got axed.
Your 26yr old will have to buy own health insurance
Grandma will be ur responsibility coz elderly care got axed.
Yes, they'll resign. They're wrapping things up and that's it. For now. Smith is smart enough to win any 'retribution' tfg & his failing DOJ throws at him.
I think VP Harris and literally every anti-trump person scooped WaPo months ago by revealing that trump was planning to use the DOJ for retribution.
Just because they refused to acknowledge that fact until now does not make it a scoop.
I don’t see Biden doing anything. Democrats negotiated away four appeals court positions that are very important. Why are the fucking Democrats so lame when we are facing the loss of civil rights and democracy? It’s insane. No other country would allow Trump to take office.
4 real. I mean, I know the GOP want 2 make this country fascist so they're arguably worse than Dems but Dems frustrate the hell out of me b/c they bend & waver so easily & think norms will save us while Rep.s just barrel thru the norms & get their shit passed no matter what. We need that same energy
Just as long as somebody keeps a running tally of the taxpayer dollars used for the 2020 election look-back… including what other things that money could’ve used to pay for.
Who controls the past controls the future.
Who controls the present controls the past.
They will declare the 2020 election void due to "widespread fraud"
Calling it now ..
Honestly, this is the best case for the country, that he focuses on retribution for the past. The less forward looking he is the better.
Terrible for the victims of it as it may be.
This fokker just can’t get over the fact he lost the 2020 election. What a waste of resources. Career government attorneys don’t deserve such baseless retribution.
So if the result of the 2020 findings are that trump won, then his current election is void because it’s a third term. There’s nothing saying the term has to be fulfilled, only the number of elections, right?
“Scoops?” How is that a scoop? He said as much on the campaign trail. That’s what his followers voted for. For the WP to act like this is news is laughable they gave him glowing coverage knowing this was coming.
Is this how Republicans want to spend their time? The press is not a king. Congress is a coequal branch of government. If Republican leaders don’t exercise their power now they will be subservient throughout Trump’s “reign”.
May I kindly suggest checking timelines before responding w anger? We’ve all been so traumatized, fused are short, I get that, but we don’t want to start eating our own, so to speak.
Are you taking to me? Just to be clear I am voicing a concern/worry about how Trump could get revenge this way. It’s how he managed his business for decades and is very adept at destroying lives.
Maybe it could but where will he get the money to fight it? That’s the plan is to bring suits against Trump’s enemies & let them starve fighting it. That was how he ripped off contractors in the past.
Thankfully, by law Smith, Willis and any other counsels or judges who are prosecuted for actions of their duties, are entitled to free representation or the money to hire their own lawyers. I heard this in a Bloomberg Law podcast recently
#ConvictedFelonTraitorTrump already weaponized the DOJ when he was in office the first time. Just ask Comey, McCabe, Strzok & the Bidens. Plus Trump used the IRS against them. Barr shut down every legal case against Trump including rigging the Mueller Report. It will be worse this time.
Lincoln on suspending habeas corpus during the Civil War: “Are all the laws, but one to go unexecuted and the government itself go to pieces?” SCOTUS has granted POTUS FULL IMMUNIZED AUTHORITY he could use to PREVENT our democracy from “going to pieces”? Biden should #DeclassifyTrump ‘s treason.
Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith. The case was wrapped up and ready to act on. Did Garland appoint Jack Smith knowing that the case would not proceed and he would be able to get rid of him as well as free Trump by Scotus?
“One of the many reasons that President Trump won the election in a landslide is Americans are sick and tired of seeing their tax dollars spent on targeting the Biden-Harris Administration’s political enemies rather than going after real violent criminals in our streets."
He couldn't bring evidence to court in 2020. He won't be able to bring any evidence this time either. If he claims he has proved it, then the question becomes, "Then why did you spend your second term golfing at Mara Lago and wouldn't that make you ineligible in 2024?"
So instead of “fixing” things that will help the American people like he promised, his focus will be on crap like this, litigating a perceived wrongdoing that doesn’t exist, all due to his fragile ego. I would not be surprised if he orders his DOJ to manufacture evidence that doesn’t exist.

PLEASE!
Please use your Executive Order powers & your Pardon Power to protect anyone & any evidence that Jack Smith & his team have generated.
No one is above the law!
Just because they refused to acknowledge that fact until now does not make it a scoop.
Scoop.
Third, never mind...I don't care. Just take your blame and judgement back over to Twitter.
The Washington Post is crap
Who controls the present controls the past.

Calling it now ..
Such a brittle man who constantly needs reassurance that he cannot accept losing. Even after gaining power again.
If so, my "scoop" is the sun will rise tomorrow.
Terrible for the victims of it as it may be.
Handing power to someone disqualified from office would be an abject failure to protect the constitution.
I mean, good that you do now even if it’s in a way that lacks appropriate outrage.
It would be ironic if the SC ruling re immunity while discharging official duties would protect Smith now

Their concept of law is that any law can be broken and there are no consequences. Case in point, trump.
That landslide crap again.
Who would think otherwise.
Who is surprised by this? How is this a scoop when Trump campaigned on this?
