"The question is no longer Donald Trump’s criminality, but whether America will care"

"America still had the naïve ability to be shocked back on Nov. 16, 1973, when a rambling then-President Richard Nixon stood up before 400 Associated Press journalists. Wallowing in the Watergate scandal, the 37th president then uttered these famous words: “‘People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I am not a crook.”

"Nationally televised hearings — with probably some in prime time — by the House committee this spring offer the potential to lay out Trump’s alleged crimes in a compelling, understandable storyline, and thus turn public opinion more harshly against the 45th president. That, too, loudly echoes Watergate, but this is also where the plot diverges"

"Unlike the early 1970s, when Watergate sparked unrelentingly coverage, Trump’s sins will be whitewashed by an army of megaphones from Fox News’ Tucker Carlson to talk radio to your uncle on Facebook."

"In a year when the fate of U.S. democracy is at least competing with the price of burritos and mask mandates in public schools for the attention of voters, there is the very real possibility of learning in prime time that our president was a crook — and then doing nothing."

Raises interesting questions

The January 6th Committee really can't do anything legally, that would be up to Garland, however, their jury is the American public, and when they lay out in prime time in TV hearings questioning multiple recognized Trump surrogates, will it catch the attention of the American citizenry? If they definitively show to America that Trump and the gang were planning avenues to dismiss the vote to stay in power, will America respond?

And the bigger question, if they don't, what kind of precedents will that lay down to include the future and America's democracy?

Every day Trump is free is a danger to our democracy. Not hyperbole.

We already know a certain percentage will not care.

That would be the same percentage that voted for him and still claim the election was stolen.

The same people who blabber about law and order, but excuse criminality when their guy does it.

Irrelevant, besides the only evidence you have of what you are referring to is your radio talking heads innuendo

[PostmodernProphet]

lack of evidence is not irrelevant in court....

lack of evidence is not irrelevant in court....

That does not apply to democrat Congressional hearings though....

Obama, Hillary "Rotten" Clinton, VP Biden....all guilty of treason. No question about it. I've read enough of the hard evidence released to have no doubt whatsoever. Will they ever be held to account for their crimes in court ? I doubt it. The justice system in the US is now utterly corrupted, and the American people have totally lost faith in it.

No they don't and do you want to venture a guess why?

Wrong. The question always has been WHAT CRIMES?

That's not merely a massive pile of lie filled hyperbole, but indicative of someone with severe mental issues. Get that checked snowflake!

Again, WHAT CRIMES?? You morons have had five fucking years and yet, not one charge even after a massive fraudulent two-year investigation.
