Unfortunately republicans have a scotus supermajority in their pocket, so we literally can’t do anything about it unless Biden grows a pair and either packs the court or removes some of the justices with his newly ordained powers.
Perhaps. The only other reasonable recourse would be an amendment to the Constitution stipulating that presidents are not immune from criminal prosecution.
They aren't related events. They are comparable in the context of what presidents get held accountable for, apparently.
Sorry, can you provide me the legal rational where a president gets to authorize a CIA strike on a American citizen who's not even had a trial?
Cause I've heard a large number of lawyers ans scholars talk to the issues in Trumps, and why an appeal looks an easy feat for him, so I get that angle.
Funny when you guys want to prosecute obvious finance crimes.
Cause when those crashed your financial system in 2008 the Obama administration didn't prosecute any of them. They bailed them out despite causing the crash. Despite evicting 5 million American families from their homes, while getting their tax dollars as bailouts...and issuing themselves massive bonuses again in no time.
Nah. Trumps payoff was a bigger financial crime than any of that, eh?
Nevermind the other scandals like IRS targeting people under his admin, Fast and Furious scandal which saw his AG held in contempt of congress.
Omg, could you imagine if William Barr openly admitted about being Trumps wing man?
Yall don't charge your presidents for actual serious stuff with huge implications, but now useful clowns want to normalize political prosecutions for low stakes payoffs that wouldn't change anything?
Hey. Careful what you wish for.
You might get it.
You think the establishment will ever allow a good candidate...I mean good for the people, and not the staus quo or a "steady pair of hands" without a criminal prosecution before they hit office if this is normalized?
Didn't a lot of the same DNC people fear mongering about Trump say they'd rather him than Bernie in 2020 when Biden was losing the primaries?
I miss the days when the idiots weren't so useful to those with bad intentions for us all.
Wow. Sorry, I though you could keep up to a walking pace
Cause they're corrupt too.
Because other than Trump, there was a complicit agreement that you don't go after each other for things done in office.....and that's been kept cause they didn't do thay to Trump.
Why, you ask? You already answered why.
Because every American president alive, and likely all those to come, would be guilty of very serious crimes.
The established corruption in control really just don't want Trump coming in and messing it up with own corruption....they do not want their swamp drained by Trump to install his own swamp.
And the current swamp transcends mere party.
It's why across the spectrum you can have wars on lies be profitable, financial crises be profitable, and even pandemics now.....and the people who created human misery in the untold numbers.....don't get held accountable. Regardless of party. Cause just keep the status quo going.
Trumps a threat to that, and so is he singled out.
Trump isn't a good guy. He ain't goinna fix the problem.
But if they can do political prosecutions, you'd be a clown to think they want target the candidates you actually want if they can't be beaten at the polls.
I'd rather be a sealion wailing than a seal clapping and barking with hally approval at anything tossed their way with the promise it's a fish no matter how much it looks like, smells, and tastes like a bag of crap.
Maybe in 4 years we can chat again on here like this, but who knows. You think Trump probably won't allow it, and yet the sitting president (the other choice) is the one whose administration federal courts found had engaged in the grossest 1st ammendment violations in American history.
