    Why didn’t Biden appoint a DOJ head that would try him for treason? This was in their power, they didn’t need more votes, they saw what happened Jan 6, why didn’t they do what needed to be done?

      He was being tried up until his election as president. That’s the thing, he was never pardoned, he is literally only free from criminal court and investigations because he is president…

        After waiting a year to open the investigations, and another year to establish a special counsel, then waiting until August of the next year, 2023 to indite him. Because they took so long he was elected before trial. They didn’t charge him with sedition, they didn’t stop him from campaigning, and they dismissed the case because “The (Justice) Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,”

        Damn, shucks, darn it, if only they had gotten lucky or maybe started a bit sooner they could have gotten to trial before their 4 years were up, but shucks guess we just have to dismiss this case about someone trying to overthrow our fucking government.

          Compared to every other criminal trial that wraps up in 2 weeks.

          Yoy realize that you’re asking for politicians to rush through the prosecution of their opponents, right?

            You clearly resort to hyperbole because you know how damning their speed is.

            Yes, they should have taken less than two and a half years to indite Trump for seditious acts.
