    Default Republicans put Trump above the law

    Republicans have all but declared that Donald Trump exists above the law, and Democrats expect them to make that official if they retake the House.

    Trump loyalists treat any investigations into the former president as illegitimate, and Democrats have begun to examine various parliamentary tools Republicans could use to essentially defund the various probes and make him untouchable by the law, wrote Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent

    Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) have already called to defund the FBI after agents searched Mar-A-Lago, and House minority leader Kevin McCarthy has put attorney general Merrick Garland on notice, and Breyer warned that a GOP House majority could reinstate the obscure Holman Rule that would allow them to use spending bills to target the salaries of specific federal officials.

    Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) has already floated that idea, and Republicans could also cut funding for Trump investigations or any prosecutions related to the Jan. 6 insurrection -- even though such measures would never pass a Democratic-controlled Senate or be signed by President Joe Biden.

    “I have no doubt whatsoever that they would use the threat of government shutdowns and debt ceiling breaches,” Beyer, who anticipates “some of the worst attacks on the rule of law this country has ever seen.

    If you still support Trump, you are an accessory to all of his crimes.

    So, Trumptards are now the party of crime, treason, and resurrection.

    It makes things easy at the polls now, to just pull the Democrat Lever!

    Trump is an enemy of the United States. Each day Garland refuses to indict Trump makes our nation less safe.

    I wonder why garland hates America so much then? You have trump dead to rights don't you? I suspect it wouldn't take too long to get a trial going and find a judge and 12 jurors to convict him. I'm actually looking forward to a trial. I hope it's televised.
