So...will America be in the dark going forward about world stuff, maybe not entirely, maybe selectively? Will America be less safe? Will Felon 47 sell or quid pro quo national secrets to dictators and other friends of his? Will anyone ever want to help us again? Why should they trust us? We're a teetering, unstable "democracy" with kleptocrats running everything. Why do these horrible men get to grow old? We need starkly truthful, violence-insinuating graffiti to start popping up in public everywhere.
This one hurts the most. Jack Smith did not fail us. SCOTUS failed us, in their need to secure the Unitary Executive of their choice--the one who chose half of those voting in the Immunity majority--and thus their own future buffering from the prying ProPublica eyes (or their consequences) that might threaten their sweet little fiefdom.
Of course we know what he did. But without Smith's report, history will once again be written by the "winners." And we know these winners lie. It's the coin of their realm. It will be harder to secure the truth for the future, but that task falls to us now.
Merrick Garland takes a victory lap. He's surprised nobody was cheering his success at migrating Delay, Deny, and Defend. Someone should appoint him to the federal DEI Department of Efficiency Impairment.
WTF was Obama thinking? Oh, right. "Bipartisanship. And a heaping helping of Appeasement." This is how you lose your rights. They give offense to people who are pissed that you have any.
Once Sir begins to sway and then drop to the ground while talking, while walking, while standing behind the Sir Podium, while seated, while toileting, will the MAGAn -- as was done with diapers, as was done with sneakers, Bible Constitutions, NFTs, $TRUMPCoin -- follow the Sir example down and down and down again? As their head injuries increase? As their vision blurs? As their hearing dims? As their knees crack then split? Will they? Will they follow Sir? Of course! Of course they will!
DOJ decided to try those cases in FL, even though the insurrection took place in WADC and the documents were stolen from WADC. If I was assaulted and robbed in Oregon by an Idahoan, should I have to see him tried in Pocatello in front of a MAGA judge and a jury of white supremicists?
I agree with you MARCIE and Wonkette . What stump did was illegal and traitorous , Any of us that tried it would be in prison .My big Question is why Garland took so damn long . As for Doj saying no pres can be prosecuted that was bs in my book . It is time for all of us to get our big boy pants on and fight back against all stumps bs and people . Hugs to you and peace to all for now .
I think I understand crime much better now. If you commit a crime like invading the Capitol and beating police officers, it’s not a crime if you did it for Trump. If you commit a crime like hiding boxes of top secret documents, it’s not a crime if you did it for Trump. If you commit a crime like colluding with Russia and Wikileaks to steal an election, it’s not a crime if you did it for Trump. Those are all criminal non-crimes. But!!! If you seek to enforce the laws regarding bank fraud or inciting insurrection or stealing classified documents or theft of an election, it’s a crime if you prosecute Trump. Those are all anti-crime crimes. The lawbreakers who support Trump (looking at you, Mayor Adams) aren’t criminals, and the law enforcers who prosecute Trump are criminals. It’s so clear to me now.
"(acting) Attorney General James McHenry" apparently doesn't care if his move looks unethical:
" “Given your significant role in prosecuting the president, I do not believe that the leadership of the department can trust you to assist in implementing the president’s agenda faithfully.”"
Hey, asshole! Haven't you heard that the DOJ and it's prosecutors are NOT there to support any single President, but objectively, the country as a whole.
So ... let's think a bit. With the appointments to CIA Director and DNI here in the US, how much real intelligence will ever make it to them? Zero. Our allies? They might pass gas to them, but real intel? Probably not.
Felon 47 has shut down all that information coming to the US because he's a fucking toddler.
And at the same time, he's driving every Country that is the slightest bit inclined to being friendly to the U.S. like Colombia straight into the arms of China. Heckuva job, Trumpy.
Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't think I am), but El Presidente can still be impeached over this, right? The first time was about trying to extort Ukraine, the second was over Jan 6.
And the gross mishandling of information entrusted to him by the American people surely counts as a High Crime, right?
What about extorting California fire victims...straighten up and fly right or kiss your humanitarian federal relief goodbye.
It's horrifying. With global warming, we're in for some really nasty surprises from Mother Nature. I can see the Rotting Mango withholding desperately needed federal aid until some stricken area capitulates and hires/fire whoever he says, or promises to turn all public schools into Indoctrination camps or something.
I believe the common understanding is that impeachment is for high crimes and misdemeanors committed while in their current term of office, so unfortunately the stuff he did during his first term is now out of our reach.
Cheer up tho, he does at least one impeachable thing before breakfast.
Right? An oath to protect and defend the constitution should preclude obviously unconstitutional decrees, but here we are. Hopefully articles will be drawn up soon, Johnson won't bring them to the floor, but their existence should be an irritant.

And to think that all these years I paid parking tickets to avoid jail. Huh.

It was the best of crimes, it was the worst of crimes.
I didn't bother to scroll down so don't at me for low-hanging fruit!
Which is why Garland should have just dropped the charges against Trump's lackeys and released part 2 of the Smith Special Counsel report.

Not even just your question
A lot of people have been asking this question
And for a really long time, too

'...a dusty book, where nobody plans to read it, much less equally enforce it, it seems.'
To start, Shitler will demand that all copies of Blackstone will be gathered up and burned.
"(acting) Attorney General James McHenry" apparently doesn't care if his move looks unethical:
" “Given your significant role in prosecuting the president, I do not believe that the leadership of the department can trust you to assist in implementing the president’s agenda faithfully.”"

Can't even wait for Pam Bondi.

From this point onward, one of 'Five' Eyes' jobs will be feeding disinfo to Russia via the US.
Apparently much of the American people wants our state and nuclear secrets given to enemies of US and world democracy.
I disagree. The vast majority of those who voted for him have no fucking clue what they voted for. They just like a bully
When you worship power empathy and kindness seem like sins.

Darn, I saw at least another story on the subject, I’ll see if I can find it.
But the country would be so much better if it were like Russia, just like Tuckems told his audience!
According to Tucker's breathless reporting, they have SHOPPING CARTS in Russia. What a paradise.
In Tuck's universe I guess that's what passes for a scoop. That happens when you're named after a toilet product. Well, almost.

There's still a little hope for Nuremberg trials eventually.
