(4,114 posts)"No one is above the law" would have no meaning, it will become just an empty phrase for politicians to utter whenever convenient knowing that it means nothing.
We want justice, all these crooks must be held accountable, and that includes trump, his family, Barr, Graham, McConnell, Jordan, Devin Nunes, etc.
What is the meaning of justice if crooks are allowed to roam free with no accountability for their crimes? What good is the law if that happens?
I believe allowing trump and all the crooks I mentioned to go untouched will be very detrimental to our democracy and rule of law, I would even predict that a revolution will come along, and a real socialist/communist will win the next elections.
That is what has happened in many South American countries, the corruption from so called democratic governments was so rampant that the people became very angry and very distrustful of democracy which opened the doors for the socialist/communist rhetoric, rhetoric that sounds wonderful when you don't know what it leads to, and after so much corruption the people are tired, they believe it and vote for them.
I was in Venezuela doing some work in 1998, which is the year that Chavez was elected. I heard his rhetoric, and I told some people that I understood that I did not know anything about Venezuelan politics, but if I were to vote, I would vote for Chavez after hearing everything he said he was going to do, mainly he was going to get rid of corruption. So the people believed the rhetoric, and see where Venezuela is right now. IT CAN HAPPEN HERE as well.
