I mean, I’ve thought it was obvious from the beginning he wants to be president so he can pardon himself. Like that has always been the end goal.
I’ve said it once with my brother. I’ll say it again. I’m waiting for some kind of assassination attempt. Just in general. Not even a party affiliated prediction. I just think somebody is going to take a shot at “solving the problem”.
If the DOJ actually wanted him convicted they’ve had plenty of time to do it so far, but they’ve been pissing it away for 4 years.
I know someone is going to chime in and say “BuT tHeSe ThInGs TakE TiMe”
Not 4 fucking years they don’t, federal court cases typically take ~12 months to get to trial, but even if this novel case with unprecedentedly high profile defendants could justify twice the amount of time a normal case does, he would have been in jail 2 years ago.The DOJ also was up against unfriendly judges that made stuff drag out unnecessarily.
And the saying is, “when you after the king, you best not miss.”
Keep in mind they needed tax evasion to imprison Capone.
The judges didn’t become a problem until after Merrick Garland (a conservative) waited years to start the investigation.
Congress did a complete investigation long before the DOJ lifted a fucking finger. Garland should be considered a GOP operative at this point.
The Repubs can just pardon him, & ignore any law that gets in their way…
Hell, legalists ignore inconvenient laws anyways … so it doesn’t even require that the Republicans pardon him: they can just make him Speaker, have the temporary-stand-in “president” & “vice-president” suddenly resign, and … voila! … suddenly Trump is president, & he can pardon himself, if he wants, right?
What I’m trying to communicate, is that once the regime-system is corrupt enough … then legalism provides no protection whatsoever and whomever is “relying” on legalism’s protection, is being incompetent.
It’s too late.
The letter of the law won’t protect, anymore.
Face the actual reality of nowadays.
