"we are in the middle of a major political campaign for President of the United States?" Uh no, this isn't halftime. This isn't even the 1st quarter. It's hours before kickoff. The pregame hype show hasn't even started.

It’s pretty cool how they can’t charge you for crimes if you’re running for office. I think I’m gonna rob like six banks, murder a couple people, then steal a car for the getaway. Something nice, with a sun roof...

And then when the cops on my tail start to close in, I’ll just stop the car, open up the sun roof, stand up in it, and loudly announce from there through a megaphone: ‘I am pleased to announce my candidacy for president of the United States!’

Interfering with justice and accountability is much worse than interfering with an election campaign. Do you think the DOJ would halt signing an indictment on a multimillion dollar embezzlement scheme by a candidate for an important seat in the Ohio legislature because the election was 4 months away? Would a Senate Majority Leader halt confirmation hearings on a Supreme Court candidate because a presidential election was 9 months away? I mean one week away?

(answers: no, yes, no)

Well gee, Don-don, perhaps the DOJ and the Biden administration didn't want the USA to look like a banana republic where, having won election, former administration officials are immediately arrested, charged, tried, convicted, and locked up for a good, long time. Bolsonaro might have wanted to be Brasil's Trump, but Biden's minions would not emulate Lula's courts. Oh, FFS, that's way too deep for Cheatolini.

Again and again the DoJ bends over backwards to give preferential treatment to Trump and other prominent Republicans, and again and again those same people just throw it in the DoJ's face. There is no amount of carefully avoiding the appearance of bias that will stop Republicans from claiming there is bias against them. The DoJ needs to do things like stop pretending that only Republicans can investigate other Republicans (while conversely thinking that only Republicans can investigate Democrats). It needs to stop giving Trump seventy chances to fix things before arresting his ass. It needs to stop worrying so much about the optics of the situation and just do its job.

Republicans have been whining and demanding special treatment for years now, but it reached its apex under Trump. And it's a strategy that has...well...worked. They've gotten all kinds of special treatment just by pretending that the DoJ is biased against conservatives. I'm tired of the adults in the room catering to the children's selfish demands as if caving one more time will fix the situation.

Republifascist logic: If I, a politician, commit a crime, it is political to arrest, charge or indict me.

Why not? It worked in the South for years, assuming that there were rumors of arrests.

Only if you are a republican. If it was President Biden, or former Secretary Clinton, then according to republicans they should just be immediately thrown in prison for life for innumerable serious criminal offenses that might or might not be determined at some future date and time.

Wah wah. The best part of locking him up is that we won’t have to have the media covering his every hysterical, self-pitying “truths” or “Xes” or whatever.
