If anyone on DU wasn’t outraged by the injustice and gave you a hard time for posting it they are likely a troll and would be reported and likely have their post removed ASAP.

And any survivors would be promptly arrested and later receive very harsh sentences, not the wrist slaps we're seeing.

People (prosecutors, judges, administrators) should fined enormously if not jailed for something like this. He was held for 3yrs with no trial.

Criminals like DT get the benefit of statutes of limitations for some crimes. Which has led to a defense strategy of “running out the clock” if a person has the resources to endlessly appeal decisions or file lawsuits. That should not be allowed Justice is not a sport. Take for instance the current lawsuit DT has filed about executive privilege for the documents President Biden has ruled do not have EP that the 1/6 Committee wants. That lawsuit should have never even been allowed to be filled. I wonder how many frivolous cases are pending right now are in the pipeline clogging it up awaiting trial time. Cases that have no business taking up a courts time when there are people sitting a hell hole like Rikers awaiting trial.

I realize there is a geographical separation in jurisdiction and that some courts only deal with certain type crimes. Certainly the court dealing with the frivolous EP lawsuit by DT is not the same court that maybe could have given Mr. Browder a hearing. However the justice department’s budget is finite and resources used to provide capacity to process lawsuits could maybe be better allocated to ensure that a persons constitutional 6th amendment right to a speedy trial is fulfilled.

taken to end Democratic government and rule of law for which there are federal felony charges which could be filed and upheld.

Why?????????????????????????

Are there prosecutors who don't get it? Are they part of the imbedded resistance put in place under W/Cheney and Trump? Are they truly that incompetent?


WTF???????????????????

Why the effing slow-walking of prosecution and trials??????????

At this rate we'll be watching the last of the 1/6 prosecution just in time for the lead-up to 2024 primaries, assuming we still have a Democrat in the White House at that point.

Who has the most culpability in American injustice? I'm swinging toward judges 1st place, followed by cops with help from attorneys and all conspiring to give sadism free rein in jail.

Woman Accused of Stealing Nancy Pelosi’s Laptop Appears in Video Making Nazi Salute

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2021/02/24/woman-accused-of-stealing-nancy-pelosis-laptop-appears-in-video-making-nazi-salute/



Her hat features a Sonnenrad, or Black Sun, an occult Nazi symbol also popular with Atomwaffen. Christchurch shooter Brenton Tarrant wore a Sonnenrad patch on his body armor while massacring 51 people on New Zealand’s South Island in 2019.

The video also features a book on the Waffen SS at the woman’s feet.

She dances to techno music for several seconds, while a voice narrates the video: “Hammer was right all along. There is no political solution. All that is left is acceleration. Heil Hitler.”

At this point in the video the bass in the music drops and the woman extends her arm in a Sieg Heil salute. A negative color filter washes over the scene and the woman’s eyes glow.
