The Trump Arrest Thread!

[Northwoods]

Biden can pardon himself after the election, that's assuming he even gets charged with anything.

Point would not be to actually pardon him necessarily.  It would be to highlight his crimes and make him lie (and obviously so) about them.  And to make the right look like they care about unity and not devolving into a banana republic.

When is Biden getting indicted for illegally keeping classified documents in his garage?

Don't forget Hillary and her email server and destroying evidence under supena.

Bill Barr on Trump in a recent interview with Robert Costa.

Asked if he believes Trump lied to the Justice Department, Barr said, “Yes, I do.”

Then he let loose with this.

“He will always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country’s interests. There’s no question about it. This is a perfect example of that. He’s like a 9-year-old — a defiant 9-year-old kid who’s always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table, defying his parents to stop him from doing it. It’s a means of self-assertion and exerting his dominance over other people. And he’s a very petty individual who will always put his interests ahead of the country’s, his personal gratification of his ego. But our country can’t be a therapy session for a troubled man like this.”

Well, it's not every day you hear people say mean things about Donald Trump.

Well, it's not every day you hear people say mean things about Donald Trump.

But this time it's one of his cabinet members.

This describes the current President . . . and most of Congress.

It's not the first one, is it?

Biden really does have all of Trump's worst qualities, especially the imaginary ones.

Even with all of Trump's flaws, he still looks like the better candidate compared to a lot of the other choices (and compared to a lot of the current members of Congress).  That is both funny and sad at the same time.  The main flaw of Barr's analogy is pretty much that.  Trump isn't defying a parent.  He is defying the main stream media and the political machine in D.C.  Those people are just as immature and petty if not even more and definitely don't have the best interests of the country in mind.  Trump comes out pretty good by comparison. 

I have some respect for Barr for his willingness to step into the Justice Department mess when he did and attempt to clean things up, but outside of that, I have no idea what his politics are otherwise.

Trump isn't defying a parent

From the leftist libtard's point of view he is.
The State is Mother.
The State is Father.

Non Babylon 5 fans are probably going "WTF are they talking about?" Sure a non fan will come along shortly and tell us how they didn't like the show. They're just as bad as vegetarians in letting us know.

So, when's Biden going to prison for storing docs from his VP days at his house? 

[charby]

So, when's Biden going to prison for storing docs from his VP days at his house?

His investigation is still on going.

[RocketMan]

His investigation is still on going.

And it will be quietly closed without charges or indictment.

If and when he's no longer politically useful and needs to be thrown under the bus

[MechAg94]

His investigation is still on going.

We hear that answer a lot when they want to delay action until everyone forgets about it.  We will see.  Maybe in 2025.

In the meantime, they will continue to try to prosecute Trump.   

[charby]

If Trump is found guilty in court, iy will pretty hard to sweep Biden's wrong doing under the rug. If Trump isn't found guilty, I would agree with you.

[WLJ]

Not when you got 90+% of the MSM doing just that. Most people are completely unaware of any wrong doing on Biden and family's part.

[dogmush]

I actually kinda agree with Charby here.  If Trump is actually found guilty in court, half the country is going to want blood for the rampant double standard.  If a couple hundred idiots were willing to storm the capitol because he lost the election, I can only guess how many will storm a courthouse if it looks like he's facing jail.

The Unipart can throw the mob a bone by sacrificing one of theirs.  The obvious choices are the washed up harpy that couldn't beat Trump in the first place, and the senile octigenarian that forgot he was supposed to graciously deliver power to a diversity candidate in the second term.  Of those two, I think Biden has less friends left in high places, and already has an investigation going.  He's kinda the obvious choice.


However, I am more convinvced the power brokers will continue to attempt to avoid any accountability for their class at all.  They will drag this out until they think they crippled the election (or until the election is over) and then have the prosecution make some procedural error that lets Trump go.  They don't want him in jail, or even convicted, they just want him not in the White House.
