       @Hey_Beth @flexghost I don't want to be boring, and pretend to be an expert, but I'd be shocked if they don't throw the book at him over the stolen documents. It's a big crime, and I bet they have the receipts, with Trump's grubby finger-prints all over them.

       @Tilopa @Hey_Beth I have said the same thing for years. Garland is the person he has always been. When the DOJ acts it is because their hand is forced and they will have possible deniability for the higher-ups

       @HistoPol @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth great podcast!  Ultra and bagman are interesting and relevant.  With Trump, I agree charges need to be done right and bullet proof.  But, there is a timetable ticking away.  There is a needle to thread here and I just don’t want time to run out.

       @dafffy @flexghost I totally see your point. For some indictments in the pipeline, I fear, it is already too late for the 2024 elections. However, after being the instigator of dozens of murders, #AlCapone didn't have to stand trial for dozens of murders. Not even for one to finish his life on #alcatraz His accountant and the falsification of accounts in combination with tax fraud was sufficient to lock him up....@Tilopa @Hey_Beth

       @dafffy @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth......It would be such an irony of fate, if the #TrumpCrimeFamily ended up the same way for the same misdeeds.This does not mean, that I do not want him put on trial for seditious conspiracy and all the other stuff. In his case, I would even be in favor of the ancient #Roman punishment for #treason: to be thrown from the #Tarpeian rock, as I believe him to be absolutely dangerous for #nationalsecurity...

       @flexghost hold tight! The wheels of Justice seem slow but that doesn’t mean they don’t move and remember this: the DOJ is a separate entity. As hard as it is to wait..

       @artesianspring no. How many more federal prosecutors need to come forward to say they prosecute much more complex cases much faster? The severity of the crime dictates when it’s not political. This has been obstructed from the inside and those for a brave enough to voice their concerns know democracy is in danger.

       @JorgeStolfi maybe someone should write a series of codes or laws, if you will, so that when someone breaks them, there are a set amount of consequences for the infraction? Like a code for some kind of system that deals in legality

       @HistoPol @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth Loved Maddow's podcast, but my takeaway was different.  That 40s trial dragged on so long, drained of momentum, that eventually it failed. Also, nothing says Garland has one chance. He can indict Trump for diff crimes (insurrection, documents, campaign finance, Muller's obstructions charges).  He could hit him w parallel indictments or sequential indictments. Garland needs to get moving and quit waiting for the one perfect shot.

       @HistoPol @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth They say "When you cone for the King, you better not miss".  Why?  Because the king has all the power. Trump is a part-time hotel DJ and full-time grifter.  Garland has all the power of the US Gov.  Trump just has a big mouth and some crazy followers.

       @Tilopa @HistoPol @flexghost @Hey_Beth Oh no.  Bill Barr was an active stooge for Trump and weaponizdd the DOJ against his enemies and covered for TFGGarland is going in the right direction, charging insurrectionists and Proud Boys, investigating Biden and TFG.  He's just fallen into the trap of being too cautious.  And he's completely failed this address the DOJ policy on indicting POTUS, which desperately needs an update.

       @TCatInReality @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth The quote is correct.But I think we need to broaden our perspective:As of now, he is the #OrangeKing of the #MAGA faction, effectively contolling the #GOP, as well as the de facto party leader.Also, to many of the #FoxNews indoctrinated disciples, he comes close to a #messiah (there is even a book). Only god-kings or absolutist monarchs wieder more power. This is an explosive combination and #TFG has no compunction about...

       @TCatInReality @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth ...ScorchedEarth.Yes, maybe attacking him simultaneously would be a good idea, causing him to have a multi-front war.But as the collapse of O.G. #Rogues sedition case shows (see my earlier response today), a) this time it will not only be 25 Congressmen involved, b) the case will not be as watertight (working at the behest of the leading foreign spy, all proven), and the #US is much more devided than during WWII.#TFG...

       @HistoPol @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth Sorry, but Trump has no official power, just influence.  Even as POTUS, he couldn't summon a mob to do more than delay certification by a few hours. Sure, the GOP can destroy the budget process and use certain states to undermine democracy, but aren't they already?Trump is just a citizen.  We need to quit self-censoring ourselves out of fear.

       @TCatInReality @flexghost @Tilopa @Hey_Beth "Trump is just a citizen."Power does not need to be "official".  Wielding it is enough. Any other former government official would be behind bars pending trial, after the #MarALago search. This is power (e.g.)" We need to quit self-censoring ourselves out of fear."I am not saying that at all.That neither the 25 fascist Congressmen from the 1940s, nor #Nixon faced severe legal consequences is exactly why this happened again
