They don’t have the balls to do it. Accountability for them would set a precedent.
Reminds me of when Twitter explicitly said that they have to go easy on white supremacists because a large number of GOP politicians would be banned.
It makes me sad realizing that the world is in a ton of its shit just because it refuses to hold some assholes to any standards whatsoever. Like, no wonder anime is so popular among young people, you mean government solves some problems AND the bad guy has to face consequences instead of being infantilized? Hell yeah.
It would have made Gym Jordan’s attack have superficial merit… They made the right call.
Why didn’t they? Jesus, it’s impossible to hold people accountable in this country.
But the actual document shows dissent among the 23-member panel.
While nearly all were in agreement to charge Mr Trump and his top attorneys, including Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, there was a more pronounced split about whether to charge the senators.
Footnotes included beneath each vote give a glimpse into their disagreements. The splits could portend challenges for prosecutors at an eventual trial, where a jury vote unanimously to convict.
This is the problem with radicalization. Get enough of a percentage to never hold them accountable, and you can be relatively unfettered to act as you please with little consequence from the law. The key is to slowly go more radical as you push the boundaries of what a large enough percentage are simply comfortable with ‘whatever means necessary’.
Interesting thread. I always just thought states are in charge of themselves, as far as voting, and any DC turd not from their state could piss right off. It seems to me that those Senators would fit right in under that RICO umbrella. Then again I’m pretty ignorant to be honest. Less so after reading through your link.
Remember everyone, this shit goes slowly.
They could be holding back charges, to allow other pieces to fall in place. For others to inform / confess, for other trials to conclude.
Probably not, just them being afraid, but it could be.
They still can. So don’t worry. I’m sure they round them up after the other fascist are in jail
Cowards.
