Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That would be the reciprocal. It's literally that you can't investigate Trump because it's not fair that you're investigating him specifically. Them launching these kinds of F-Tier challenges makes me think that they know that they're fucking sunk. How's the saying go? "When the facts are against you, pound the law. When the law is against you, pound the facts. When the facts and the law are against you, pound the table"? They're pounding the table with everything they've got.
I imagine the end strategy is twofold: one, to milk as much time, and therefore billable hours (assuming these are paid…) out of the defendant, and two, to throw as much legal shit at the wall as they can and hope that the more intelligent lawyers on the other side are tied up by the law in order to make their case for them.
From there, continue to stall until either Trump dies or becomes president again. Either way his likelihood of seeing the inside of a cell is quite low.
In medicine, it's called "spaghetti plate medicine", because you throw the whole spaghetti plate at the wall to see what sticks. It's not exactly something that happens when you're feeling confident.
I agree, I doubt he'll actually see a cell. I would be gravely concerned if Trump actually got elected again, him and the power hungry stooges that follow him won't cock up the same way twice (I think).
