But, he didn't say anything unusual or reaffirming. He did, however, emphasize his desire for the dignity of his branch, and a desire to keep it innocent of wrongdoing. Nothing else he said was unusual.
This latest uproar is over the memo he put out. It was ill considered. If he can shush our anger over the fact that nothing is intended to be done until after Midterms, maybe for YEARS, then I guess he will accomplish his mission. Why didn't he make a statement sooner? He did have a reporter ask a question, and he answered it as generically as possible.
I think, from reading DU comments, that most people here WANT all the ducks lined up in a row. We don't want Donald to slip through the cracks. But, if the J6 Committee has lined up those ducks, then start the process NOW. The longer we wait, the less likely that we'll get him. It's as simple as that.
I'll be honest, the low hanging fruit of basic rioters is gratifying but somehow unsatisfactory as they can be seen to be easily influenceable idiots who are getting spanked and sent to their corners. The real graft is sitting right there in Congress. But, who do we want to really convict?
Donald J. Trump, mob boss.
I appreciate the need to appear nonpartisan, I really do. But, you know that screaming "it's a witch hunt!" won't really fly in Court, anyway. What about us, the American people? All we want is to have a job and a family, and to have some rewards and fun. We want Donald GONE.
We are going to have to live through this nightmare AGAIN if Donald can legally run again. And, somehow, it is not reassuring to hear that it won't make a difference to prosecution, because it WILL. Garland's memo said as much. He doesn't want prosecutions to seem to impact any election, so we can kiss that goodbye. We need to charge Trump with some crime that will prevent him from holding office ever again, even if that crime doesn't send him to jail.
Donald J. Trump tried to prevent the transfer of power from himself to Biden. He ginned up a coup, and sat around probably hoping to hear that his major enemies in Congress had been executed by his insurrectionist mob. He owns that. By all means, let's line up our ducks. But, let's hurry that along. And, for goodness sakes, quit telling us that your afraid to get your hands dirty. This is nasty business, anyway. You can't pretend that you need to wear sterile gloves while doing it. Hell, we don't get to, we just have to keep taking it until we want to throw up.
