This lawlessness cannot be swept under the rug if the Democrats win.

It cannot be done as it has been done in the past.

The people, and our democracy, demand that the facts and the truth be brought forward.

That does not mean that Joe Biden must be personally involved in the investigation. He could state that the Justice Department is handling it.

Naturally, Republicans will scream to high heaven. But, what's new?

In my opinion, there should be a "bi-partisan" Commission appointed to get to the truth. They would work with the FBI to ascertain the facts. There should be no public statements until their work is completed.

The point is that these criminals that have brought our country to its knees, spread fear and anxiety, as they attacked the foundations of our Constitution, must be held accountable. They cannot be permitted to escape justice.

The people deserve to know the truth and the Democratic Party cannot permit it to pass in the name of "bringing the nation together". That is not acceptable.

I predict that there will be an independent criminal investigation into Trump's crimes.

They will do whatever they can get away with.

Until someone stops them.

but if there were ever ANY president who deserved to be prosecuted after leaving office, it's this thuggish dictator-wannabe. He's left such a trail of slime and corruption, if he gets off the hook, well, why even fucking have laws in the first place?

...then they should be put under criminal investigation. They should all appear before a jury trial. Not any three-judges court panels - but a full 12-man jury. Everybody deserves a fair hearing.
