As I recall, the adults around me at the time considered it a valid move to protect the dignity of the Presidency (not the President). After all, Nixon had resigned and was no longer in a position to cause ongoing harm.
My point is that no matter WHAT you do, republicans will manage to use it against you...So what's the point of trying to appease them or avoid their attacks?
My memory was other adults not wanting to take the BS of Nixon's underlings taking the blame for his crimes by going to prison and Nixon getting pardoned. These people were also fed up with Reagan (Iran-Contra for starters), and Bush II ((WMD).
1.) The concept of impartiality is already built into the Jan 6th committee - that's why it's work is reasonably transparent. Why it is made up people from both parties. Why it is applying universal codes and measures. Why we are now seeing it's greatest hits on TV.2.) These committee members are experts in the Jan 6th saga. They are - themselves - lawmakers. It is reasonable to expect that they have an opinion. That legal opinion - based on evidence - is due America.3.) Republicans at large have already argued in bad faith about the Jan 6th committee. Their opinion about its findings is already a forgone conclusion. They will ignore or continue to obstruct justice, no matter the details.4.) A criminal referral is yet another check and balance on the Justice Dept. I cannot believe I have to write this, but the legal opinion of one fucking man does not get to decide whether we live in a democracy.
We’re all tired of waiting for Garland to indict Shitgibbon. We’re all sick of hearing the excuse that he has to be cautious or republicans will accuse him of being a partisan hack. And the claim the January 6 needs to avoid appearing partisan is especially tiresome.
Newsflash: Republicans are already calling Garland a partisan hack. And they decided the January 6 committee was a partisan witch-hunt about five second after it was first proposed.
The reality is that we’re up against the clock here. If we lose the House in November, republicans have made it clear they’re going to tie things up with as many bullshit investigations into Hunter’s laptop and whatever else they can think of. Probably impeaching Major for biting a staffer as well.
No doubt they’ll even threaten to defund the entire DOJ to derail any prosecution of Mango.

I think you missed my point.

I am cool looking partisan because if we do nothing no one is going to vote in the midterms and goodbye democracy, such as it was.
(:
Yeah, I totally see how my comment could have been read that way...I gave an analogy without setting it up first...

Different adults, different conversations.
And legal cost to TFG.
Yes. Not perfect justice, but justice.
You noticed too? I thought I was the only one!
Wha

No
It does matter that criminal charges be brought against Donald John Trump.
What? Hang Donald Trump? What kind of illegal, horrible thought is that?......well, yes, I suppose he might deserve it....

The time to act is now or it’ll be never.
