Charging a former president with crimes would be an extraordinary development in American history and carries the risk of forever reshaping our politics as well as the very future of the nation. It should not be undertaken lightly.
But former President Trump's multifaceted attempt to overthrow the results of the 2020 election that culminated with him inciting violent mobs to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory, was also an extraordinary development in American history — one that nearly destroyed our democracy. The country is already in uncomfortable, uncharted waters navigating the wreckage Trump left in his wake.
At a minimum, the Department of Justice should prosecute him for conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, the electoral vote count. These crimes carry maximum sentences of five and 20 years in prison, respectively.
Prosecuting the foot soldiers is only partial justice for this grave attack on American democracy. To restore the nation's standing in the world, and among its citizens, it's critical that the ringleader of this shameful chapter in history be held accountable as well. Prosecuting Trump will demonstrate that the bedrock principles of the United States remain firm: The voters decide who holds power, and no one is above the law.

It’s the Hell-A Slimes.
The devil is having a hay day out there with those he can fool and lie to...
Man, they are scared to death of Trump and anyone who helps him. Over the target land they are upset!!!!

As they should be.
Dorothy ( Liz Cheny, AOC, Talib, etc)of the Marxist Left followed a Stalinist bunny down the Bunny Hole and met the Mad Hatter (Nancy Pelosi), The Queen of Hearts ( Kamala Harris) and the Cheshire Cat ( Joe Biden.)
Now their looking glass world of Green New Deal is about to be shattered in November.
You bet they are afraid. They will be joining the soup lines in Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Los Angeles,Seattle , Portland , Minneapolis and San Francisco, having to live on the streets with the homeless they themselves created.
The Swamp sees its plug being pulled, drained down to the last sordid, ichorous drop into the dust bin of history.
And who in 2024 will harvest them to water the Tree of Liberty? Here is a good guess:
The nice thing about being charged with a crime, in our country, is that you have the right to defend yourself.
I think Trump would relish the chance to go to court and present for once and for all what happened in 2020.
Trump’s critics, always fall into the trap of doubting him. In the end he’s been right about 100% of the time. Remember when he said Obama was tapping his phones?
He said the Russian connection was a hoax, and it was.
You can go on and on, but in summary, he’s always right, esp when he’s got conviction.
In this sense, 2020 election, common sense tells you that what happened, the election of an imbecile, could not have happened. It didn’t happen, unless you want to say, “Well, Zuckerberg bought the votes. It was legal. He did it, and they got away with it, but it was perfectly legal.”
I guess that’s one way to look at it, but to charge a man for simply showing that the election was rigged, is un-American.
I say, bring it on. Charge the man, and he’ll be even more popular than he is today.
“ The nice thing about being charged with a crime, in our country, is that you have the right to defend yourself.

You are joking. Right?
Nope. He’s not had a chance in any forum thus far. IF they are dumb enough to indict him it will all come out.
Any time you hear or read the words “our democracy”, you are hearing from the enemy.
If they’re going to do it then go ahead and indict. Otherwise shut up about it. But I suspect that live virtually all the claims being made about the election, this is all talk and no action.
But former President Trump's multifaceted attempt to overthrow the fraudulent results of the 2020 election that culminated with him asking followers to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard, while ANTIFA and Occupy types false-flagged as Trump supporters were inciting violent mobs to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory,
