It is time for America to begin the recovery of its once-admired system of justice
The indictment of President Trump effectively announces that the United States, as a society of laws, completes the process of corruption of its legal system that began with the bloodless crucifixion of Richard Nixon. And it arrives at the threshold of completing the deconstruction of its democracy.
Fifty-one years after the forced entry at the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate building in Washington, there is still no conclusive evidence that President Nixon committed a crime, though some of his followers did. The articles of impeachment that were approved by the House of Representatives judiciary committee and which aroused such intense antipathy to the president, are bunk and always were.
Nixon was accused of having “made it his policy … directly and through his close subordinates to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation” and of having “endeavored” to misuse the IRS and other agencies (not that he had actually done so) to violate the constitutional rights of other citizens.
There was a third, even more absurd charge that he had impeded the impeachment proceedings by non-compliance with subpoenas, which he did comply with (this would have been rejected). Two other counts were so outlandish, they were voted down by the committee even in the febrile atmosphere that then prevailed.

p
These are state charges that occurred before he was president. Trump does not have immunity from the law. The these charges stick, he’s in big trouble.
How can the statute of limitations not run out? He never fled the jurisdiction, everyone knew where he was.
Statute of Limitations has to count for something
No recovery is possible - it’s finished.
No there aren’t.
Only reason that may happen is because of voter complacency.
That is the ONLY reason we are dealing with what we are dealing with.
All the RINOs, UNIPARTY hacks, ballot harvesting, Mail in voting, etc etc etc, could vanish tomorrow if voters took the time to see and pay attention to who they were voting for and NOT allow the RNC and state/local GOPs to pick their candidates for them.
Stop falling for the....If you don’t vote for Republican Sh*tbag, who’s been stabbing you in the back for years, the Democrat will win.
What democracy?
For crying out loud:It’s a Constitutional Republic.
Thank you. This is destroying the Republic and ushering in a democracy, which is mob rule.
the threshold is already in the rear-view mirror and receding quickly.
And it lost what it really was supposed to be; A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, several years ago.
Seven years beyond the statue of limitation
Actually, the charges are not.
I don’t think this guy gets it.
This is exactly what Democracy looks like.
License, anarchy, agitation, discontent. Mobocracy.
There’s a reason Democracy isn’t mentioned, not even once, in any of the founding documents.
You beat me to it.
I’m getting tired of people who should know better tossing, around the word Democracy to describe what the USA is supposed to be.
It irritates me as much as when people ‘on our side’ call them “Liberals” when they are actually leftists.
Democracy dies with Democrats.
Donald John Trump is a Threat to Kleptocracy.
Remember folks, it’s us they’re after.
