Summary

Democrats blame Attorney General Merrick Garland for delaying prosecution of Donald Trump over the January 6 Capitol attack, allowing him to win reelection before facing trial.

Critics argue Garland wasted critical time before appointing a special prosecutor in late 2022, enabling Trump to evade accountability due to DOJ policy barring prosecution of sitting presidents.

While Trump faces ongoing civil lawsuits, his return to power threatens pardons for convicted rioters and continued revisionism about the attack.

Despite public disapproval of Trump’s actions, he successfully leveraged misinformation to regain the presidency.

    If you all haven’t already, I’d like to suggest that you create a PAC for running for president. This is your license to commit federal crimes without any consequences.

    State crimes TBD in a few weeks.

        Easy enough to chuck a couple of bucks toward the GOP. For the sake of committing major crimes against the federal government, might be worth it.

          Yes, anyone who would need to do this is already the type of criminal the GOP loves, so it’s win-win!
