Senator-elect Adam Schiff makes the salient point that a jury of his peers found Donald Trump to be guilty, and therefore his case should be deferred until he leaves office, not dismissed.
"The presidency is not a get out of jail free card."
The American people didn't vote for Trump to act as judge and jury.
We cannot allow him to normalize his efforts to turn government into his personal fiefdom.
As is customary, I expect Special Counsel Jack Smith to release an exhaustive report on his investigations’ findings.
Thanks, Merrick Garland, for taking the most consequential case in American history and completely bungling it.
Garland had 4 years and secured zero convictions against Trump, but managed to get 3 felony convictions against Biden’s son.
What a complete farce our country is.
Mueller didn’t say he was innocent.
Cannon didn’t say he was innocent.
Merchan didn’t say he was innocent.
Chutkan didn’t say he was innocent.
Jack Smith didn’t say he was innocent.
He got away with all of it.
And not a one of them said he was innocent of any of it.
Not one.
A jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts.
Grand juries voted on all 4 indictments of Trump.
Juries — of citizens like you and me. They saw the evidence and said the cases were legit.
All of that democratic accountability now just gets wiped away.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
Dear @POTUS,
Use your absolute immunity and publicly release all of Jack Smith's findings from the election interference case.
Best,
Extremely Concerned Americans Who Watched J6 On Live TV
The Texas State Board of Education adopted a new Bible-infused curriculum for elementary school students.
These new lessons elevate Christianity over the other major world religions.
This curriculum is unconstitutional, un-American, and deeply un-Christian.
A tariff is a TAX.
The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU.
So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25% — in January.
Lawrence O'Donnell, "No man is above the law turned out to be a myth that survived in this country for 248 years, and now it turns out, one man is above the law."
Hearing the DOJ has dropped all charges against Trump….
I regret spending 8 years of my life defending a country,
Who will bend at the knee,
And allow itself to be governed by a criminal like Trump and his incoming administration.
I know I’m not the only Veteran who feels this way.
In a new letter, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers from the General Services Administration on the "serious consequences" of Trump's "unprecedented" refusal to complete required transition agreements.
No prior president-elect has refused to sign these agreements. https://t.co/bZ7U2pIJfj
The Justice Dept and the court system failed to uphold the principle that no one is above the law.
DOJ by neglecting to promptly investigate the events of Jan 6, and the courts by willfully delaying progress of the case and providing immunity.
The public deserved better.
Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification
