Sen. Dick Durbin says Trump was building up to a coup, and when asked if the former president could face criminal charges, he answered, "I don't know yet. It's too early in the investigation," which is not a no.

Sucks, but I agree

3. for Failed Coup

He wasn't the one who prevented it

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. He should.

5. Drip, drip, drip okay but, MSM needs to stay on top of this. nt

[Mr.Bill]

6. We'll know when they wrap up the investigation

in 2026. Then the Supreme Court will have a final decision on the matter in June of 2029.

14. Unfortunately I don't think you need the Sarcasm emoji.

Meant for those in Washington, not you.

[Mr.Bill]

15. Thanks.

7. And maybe the Horse will sing.

8. With any luck, the bastard will be dead way before then.

I'm hoping for 2023 at the latest.

9. Merry Fitzmas. That's what this feels like.

I'll believe it when I see it. Otherwise, it's just talk talk talk.

10. Not going to happen

As much as we want it to happen. I would be satisfied if they would weed out and arrest members of Congress who assisted and backed this coup. At the very least, when roles are shown, some censorship (what do you call that...Letters of Utter Contempt for You) and the booting of them out. We need to clean up. But, we'll never get this guy. Trump always has a fall guy between him and what he did. Anyone will do for him. But, I think that, if he should die, we shouldn't see a grand national funeral for him. I don't want to see him lying in State, or buried at Arlington. I mean, his war was the Pussy War, wasn't it? Filthy creep...

11. it's always could

for this traitor who seems to want to destroy democracy

12. A lot of little things point to TFG's guilt in an attempted coup

Hell, we all know what he was up to, and I believe Joe, Nancy, & Chuck all want him charged &
jailed, not only for justice but to give reQublicOns something to think about before they try it again.

13. He SHOULD!

[kairos12]

16. Teflon Don will dodge it.

[Stuart G]

18. I sure hope he ends up in prison!!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

19. He's really, really rich (or so he says). There's a justice for the rich and one for the rest of us.

He'll get off, and he and the GQP will tout it as a complete vindication of everything he's ever done, in office and out. I have learned that with T***** you can never be too cynical.

[Skittles]

20. at the very LEAST

HE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN FOR ANY OFFICE EVER AGAIN

[soldierant]

21. It's nice that no one here has ever has a close family member

be the defendant in a ciminal case.

I have.

Remember that "right to a speedy trial"? That applies to the prosecution. It doesn't apply to the defense. But it does mean that the prosecution must have iron-clad evidence ready to go when the perp is arrested. And in the case of a public figure, that applies exponentially. And in the case of a public figure who is likely to have armed supprters show up at the courthouse with pitchforks and torches, we are talking logarithmically.

Sure, it would be nice to know how the investigations are progressing. But nobody would love to have that information more than Trump** himself. I'm cool with him not getting it, even if that means I don't get it either.

This is not a game nor a TV show. It doesn't wrap up in an hour.

23. Trumptard, like every single Republican/Nazi, has ZERO concerns about charges.

[Bettie]

24. I wish I could believe in justice

but I don't. Not anymore.

What we have is a system where the wealthy and powerful get to do what they want and the rest of us have to do what they want as well.

I am beyond disillusioned.

25. I just don't know if the courts can move quickly enough

and if impartial juries could be seated.

Accountability rests with the Democratic Congress, probably in the lame duck session 2022. They need to do what the GOP would do - something unequivocally political.

27. You think TFG sentencing package will

Include a beach vacation?

[Ford_Prefect]

28. A terrorist of his stature deserves a cell in whatever we have that's comparable to Gitmo.

Along with his enablers and fellow travelers at Koch, Mercer et al. The USP Florence ADMAX in Florence, CO comes to mind.

[Brother Mythos]

29. Lock the traitor up.

I don't doubt that more than enough evidence will be found to warrant his arrest, conviction, and prison sentence.
