Here's how I think this will play out.

[berg80]

I mean, you should expect these instances of lawfare will be investigated. You can probably expect investigations into Letitia James and fani willis as well. Maybe even judge merchan.

Naturally. There's a lot of people who need to be discredited. It's what any fascist leader who is under indictment would do.

 

[berg80]

Never did you have a problem when it was Trump being falsely indicted.

Cuz it hasn't happened.

 

[Seymour Flops]

What is needed at this moment in the history of the United States is compromise and mutual commitment to healing.

The election results should tell Democrats loudly and clearly that they went to far in their whipping up of anti-Trump hysteria. The relatively few voters who voted Democrat this year did so due to concern over abortion access, not because they bought into the Trump Derangement. Many who are concerned about abortion likely stayed home anyway, not wanting to keep crazy people in charge as a remedy for changes to the unlimited abortion policy in some states.

The people have spoken. They said they don't believe your overblown and overheated anti-Trump rhetoric. They understand that nearly all of it is based on anonymous "sources" with political agendas or people who are seeking to gain financially by making accusasions against him. They also said that Democrat policies are very bad for the United States and they want them stopped.

It's time for negotiation. That's what Trump is good at - negotiating deals in which each side feels they got something.

I'll ask the OP: Supposed Trump offered to drop his idea of retribution against his persecutors. After all, that is a lot of people and prisons are already overcrowded. Anyone still in government who participated in the attacks on the voters' choice must resign or be fired, but Trump won't have his DOJ press criminal charges, nor take actions against their law licenses or any other professional certifications. Walk away, and Trump will focus on fixing the country.

berg80 what would/should Democrats be willing to agree to in return for this forgiveness?

 

[JGalt]

Your over use of that word is like a crutch. You can't articulate how it applies to the process of the indictments being issued for trump's alleged crimes.

And you can't articulate how it was you idiots lost the most important election of your lives, and to a NYC building contractor no less. But it doesn't really matter any more, you leftists are finished. Trump is now for all practical purposes the President of the United States, and the world has breathed a collective sigh of relief.

So whether you can accept it or not, Donald J. Trump is not going to prison. I know that really takes a bite out of your ass, but you're going to have to get used to it, bro. You can sit on your ass for the next four years posting idiotic "gotcha" threads about Trump for the next four years, or you can man up and move one. Either way, I no longer give a shit.

Color me unsurprised you are on board with trump's plan to appease The Following by trying to exact revenge against those who sought to enforce the rule of law.

It’s not exacting revenge. It’s removing government people who used lawfare to go after political opponents and make sure sham trials like this never recur.

You think prosecutors in all these liberal areas should be able to fabricate cases against the political rival of Democrats in order to help block Trump’s election - and there are no consequences? This is America….not Communist China or North Korea.

Trump allies push to punish Jack Smith in first test of retribution vow​

Even as Jack Smith moved to wind down his federal election interference case against Donald Trump on Friday, House Republicans took an initial step toward investigating the special counsel, setting up an early test of how the president-elect’s calls for retribution will play out.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) asked Smith’s office to preserve all records of the historic classified document and election interference probes, a routine first step in congressional inquiries, law enforcement investigations and litigation. Elon Musk, the X owner who spent more than $100 million boosting Trump’s campaign, responded to the House Republicans’ letter by posting, “Jack Smith’s abuse of the justice system cannot go unpunished.”

Obviously, trump feels he must discredit Smith and his investigations. So he's going to unleash the Crazy in the House to do his dirty work. Will House committee's be spending time proving trump's innocence? No......cuz they can't, the evidence shows he's guilty.

They will instead attempt to smear the investigators. Assassinate their characters like trump always does. It's what he did to the grand juries, and the judges, and even the judge's clerk in his civil cases. It's what he's done to Smith, to James, to Bragg, to Garland, to anyone involved in the pursuit of holding Don accountable. He's hoping to find some tiny thing and blow it out of proportion like he did in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. To muddy the waters. To substitute impugning the character of the prosecutors for proof of innocence. Because he doesn't have any of that. Which doesn't matter..........because The Following will buy whatever he's selling.

If he broke the law, he needs to be punished.

berg80 what would/should Democrats be willing to agree to in return for this forgiveness?

Yes, I support that deal. No criminal charges for political persecution or prosecutorial misconduct related to rivals, and they simply have to resign from their offices.

Did you hear Lucretia James? She sounds like she’s possessed by the devil in her pursuit to harm someone she personally despises.

 

[Lisa558]

Agree. Haven’t we heard libs say “nobody is above the law” for a year now? Time to apply the same thinking to Democrats who break the law.

 

[berg80]

Pointing to the facts, and crimes committed, surrounding the scheme to steal the 2020 election isn't hysteria. The election was lost due to misdirected anger over inflation. Full stop.

 

[berg80]

No criminal charges for political persecution

No such thing happened. You've been brainwashed by lies.

You will never win another election until you face 1) how out of touch you are with the interests of the American working class, and 2) you ran the most unqualified, inept nominee in modern history.

Someone needs a mirror. Badly.

She sounds like an unhinged person trying hard to not sound like an unhinged person. She's going to "fight back?" Against the American people?

Imagine if she had turned all that anger and energy toward fighting violent crime in New York instead of imaginary paperwork crimes by Donald Trump? Of course, if she did that, she would have to oppose all of Biden's violent illegals being let in and transported to major cities as the behest of the cartels.

Yeah, old smithys illegally conspiring with the bribem admin to engage in election interference is a felony twice over.

He deserves a nice long stay in the gray bar Hilton.

Remember that old adage, if you try to take down the emperor, you had better be successful.

 

[berg80]

Someone needs a mirror. Badly.

Prove to me there was any form of prosecutorial misconduct.

 

[berg80]

Yeah, old smithys illegally conspiring with the bribem admin

You can't show actual proof of anything you write.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Prove to me there was any form of prosecutorial misconduct.

The evidence will be presented at Smith's trials.

Surely, you don't object to that?

 

[Lisa558]

Prove to me there was any form of prosecutorial misconduct.

Nobody was ever prosecuted for taking out a loan, repaying it on schedule and according to the terms, where the lender made a fortune on the deal, and there was no victim.

She invented a crime due to her personal vendetta.

Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed by the Attorney General solely under the purview of the Department of Justice.
The Department of Justice is subject only to the Executive Branch ... President Trump will be in charge of the Executive Branch.

The People have indicated President Trump can do whatever he wants with Special Counsel Jack Smith.
If Congress had chosen to petition for a Special Counsel, and got one ... It would be a different story ... But that's not what happened.
