South Korea was prepared to deal with their dictator because they have better laws, which we will fail to fix here if we keep blaming Garland instead of the system he was bound by. Jack Smith is trying to tell us. We should listen. https://www.muellershewrote.com/p/between-the-lines-of-jack-smiths?r=14rrh9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Makes me think his family was being threatened and he was acting under duress all the time.
"they have better laws",
They also have better judges.
very very very correct
note that "candidate trump" should not have been proof against prosecution - especially 3+ years out from the election.
the feds never WENT AFTER HIM

If he had real stones, he would have fought around it.
He's not the only one at fault, but he's far from blameless.
So Garland is innocent. And? How does that change that we have a black and white law that nobody is following? How do we get anyone to finally start following it and do what should be done?
South Koreans parked in front of the capital until action was taken. Americans won't even boycott Twitter.
Trump could have easily been charged with millions of counts of wire fraud starting in 2016. Garland never charged him with campaign fraud for 2016 either.
Treason and obstruction charges should have been filed in 2017.
Are you suggesting the president can unilaterally dismiss members of scotus? Then why do appointments need congressional confirmation?
Of course setting aside the clear first obstacle of GOP blocking the impeachment. But if US justice system and laws are set up in a way they are unable to quickly react to threat to the country, y'all are in deep trouble.
The Constitution means nothing. The Supreme Court is corrupt. The WH will have a literal FELON who should never have been on the ballot. Gerrymandering and the electoral college disenfranchise millions of voters. Truth, justice, equality are powerless.
DO OVER.
Here.
That DOJ memo everyone cites can be ignored. It is not law; it’s an opinion written by a guy many decades ago. The Constitution does not prevent prosecution of a sitting president.
Garland barely tried, and it showed.
The wealthy & powerful have their own special justice system that bends over backward to soften their treatment. Even when they are convicted, their sentences are light.
A criminal is a criminal regardless of their status.
It is a POLICY set by the Department of “Justice”.
There is no Law that says the president cannot be prosecuted.
How would that play out?
The Supreme Court would drop the charges for him AND we wouldn’t have the final report.
But for the sake of argument...the final report isn't really worth the paper it's printed on at this point, is it?
It won't result in any action.
This system would have been swift just and it would have been over if O had fomented an insurrection against our democracy.
The insurrection was facilitated by the “system” it worked as designed.
seems like it
Smith re-indicted based on non-official acts. There will never be a trial on Trump’s non-official acts because Garland and Smith CHOSE to drop the case against a sitting President.
The coup plotters knew what was coming and they were ready with their very own’d judge.
Trump stole those documents not just for betrayal but to keep the coup alive. He had to stay relevant.
The one main accomplish he needed to do
Foot dragging at least helped to get us here.
I blame Congress for not interpreting, following, or correcting the deficiencies in legislature/laws to protect our democracy.
Epic fail.
Stupidity and ignorance of those who couldn't bother to vote and enable the entirety of the
G🚫P is an even bigger problem.
Authoritarians are weak. It is their nature. Our division is their only power.

That's a clue.
Add to that:
Heritage Foundation
Federalist Society
Citizens United.
Connect the dots. Thx for listening.
Biden was at the top for four years.
Most red states will want to
Guns in the US will be used only in support of a criminal leader and he will encourage armed response to protests and public pushback against him.
This is why republicans do nothing to solve gun violence in the US.
There are kyle rittenhouses out there.
We as a nation don't enforce the laws
As we should
JUST US legal system
We frittered it away.
It's going to be a very long and painful four years.
Or at the latest, on January 20th. There’s NO WAY that FELON should EVER BE ALLOWED NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE!
It should also be clear that it benefits the Trump cult, so expecting republicans to reform it is unrealistic.
Democrats need to win in sufficient numbers for a thorough overhaul.
The problem is that they will make it worse.
And your SCOTUS is complicit.
Biden not seeing any progress should have canned AG and FBI dir in 12/21
When the docs case landed w Cannon DOJ should have either filed to have her removed or killed case and refiled in NJ
That is where the showing of the docs occured
It's hard, but others feel loss too

All you're left with is leaks.
I hope the Generals and America are ready for a big reset if Trump tries to cross the line.
He's already trying to set Major Hegseth up as the General's General ffs.
He would have made a great Supreme, but he was not tough or aggressive enough to be AG at this juncture in our history.
Like Biden, he’s trapped in the 20th century & doesn’t know how to navigate the treacherous terrain of 21st C politics.
Garland contributed to the broken system with the mistakes he made.
The system being broken does not give Garland a reprieve from criticism.
We can still work to fix said faulty laws while pointing out the shortcomings of those who litigate them.
Appointing a special counsel sooner wouldn’t have mattered. We have to fix our system, or our next AG will fail, too.
He moved fast on the Hunter Biden indictment not worrying about how THAT looked though
1. The special counsel that indicted Biden was a Trump appointee. That probe took FIVE YEARS
2. Garland couldn’t charge Trump for Mueller because Barr declined to pres charges
Why didn’t Garland charge trump after Barr failed to if the evidence was there to do it?
Is there a law that says he couldn’t? (Pardon my ignorance).
what’s really going on in that place.
Not a single one of us.
We’re compiling data and heresy and published articles.
A few have spent decades working on everything.
Smith invested his life in this, sacrificing his own safety.. his family’s, too.
He’s not a quitter.
#marathons
The system is the problem.
Idk how we go about fixing it though
Congress thinks they aren’t Accountable to us
We need to make them remember they are
FUCK THE “INAUGURATION” of the Russian Whore.
I do agree, however, that there is a problem in the system and that problem is the misguided belief that MAGA will follow norms
Never have…never will.
They can and do move very very quickly when that’s their prerogative
It’s a huge lie that justice moves slow
If you got a perp that admits to crimes on live tv it shouldn’t be hard to prosecute. Trump did that. How’s he free?
I sure hope so…
Am I happy trump isn’t in a sunless cell getting buggered every day?
No, I’m not.
Am I happy with Garland apparently fucking off?
No, I’m not.
But again, justice takes time to get it right.
We ran out of time.
And politics needs to be separate from justice for any of this to work. Connecting the 2 is a horrible mistake.
"JurgenPanzer @jurgenpanzer.bsky.social
It took 4 years for US to do nothing for its most openly proud insurectionist.
sunnieskye @sunnieskye.bsky.social
Really? He’s a convicted felon now"
ONLY because the state of New York got him - the feds didn't lay a glove on him the whole time.
Keep it going guys, keep it going!!!
Keep it going guys, keep it going!!!"
what is YOUR expertise?
Or did he choose to let them go?
What about Wilbur Ross, Louis Dejoy, Matt Gaetz, Charles Rettig, Charles Flynn, or even Mike Flynn? All committed major felonies and weren't charged.
I can keep going?
It isn’t in the Constitution. It isn’t a law.
We still think the fix was in.
Yet, here we are.
Otherwise…
And yeah, I think the harvard printed trad AGs are definitely out the window. Thats I totally concur with
They praised Garland for being deliberate and “dotting i’s and crossing t’s”.
Only when Garland failed do we hear about “systemic” problems.
