    the absence of prosecution is very much as political as the prosecution. Not prosecuting what is, in reality, a failed attempt at a coup… is what would be disastrous for our democracy. not that there’s a lot of that left, given the sheer number of dumb-asses that think it was “justified”.

      Absolutely concur. I hate that they waited this long to bring charges. I really do think that Biden instructed Garland to avoid prosecution as long as possible to avoid the appearance of this being politically motivated.

      The best scenario would have been for Congress to have convicted him during one of his impeachment trials. We wouldn’t be dealing with this bullshit at this point.
