Why are you pretending Trump hasn’t gotten away with many other crimes already?
Each time anyone tries to prosecute Trump he claims it’s a witch hunt.
Each time he gets away with it the public believes his narrative a little more.
This means the DOJ can’t just go after him recklessly. They have to build an air tight case against not just your average defendant, but Trump.
Otherwise they lose another case and Trump is empowered by it.
This is what has happened time and time again. But people like yourself are acting like you’ve been living under a rock this whole time by pretending it is easy to pin down Trump and being disingenuous by trying to pin the blame on the DOJ and the DNC for Trump getting away.
Do you really think you know more than the DoJ about this situation?
Like they did here leading to him getting away with a multitude of felonies? A single state government managed to successfully prosecute and convict him, but you're telling me the DOJ with the full resources of the federal government couldn't manage to do the same because it's too hard?
Do you really feel like an "appeal to authority" argument is valid, especially in this context? You want to act like I'm an idiot because 'they have a solid, air-tight plan' as we're here commenting on an article about how all charges against him have been dismissed. That sounds like the exact opposite of a solid plan. Who ever could have imagined that a defendent would try to delay their case from being heard in court? Obviously, this completely blindsided the DOJ as it's such an unprecedented tactic, so it's perfectly understandable why they have to let him walk away.
If they try and fail they can’t try again.
Nope I’m explaining to you what happened. They had to build a case first, that took time. By the time they were ready, a judge delayed the trial at Trumps request.
I’m acting like you’re an idiot because the trial was dismissed after Trump delayed it long enough to get re-elected and said he would fire the prosecutor.
But your armchair internet legal analysis is that it wouldn’t be delayed if they just did it sooner. Which doesn’t make any sense.
But if you really think you’re smarter than the entire DOJ then why don’t you go stop Trump. Show them how it’s done.
There's no "if" about it. They've already failed and this trial will never happen.
Based on what exactly? Can you provide some sources that actually state that they didn't have enough to charge him until 2.5 years after his crimes occurred? What are you
Where did I state this exactly? I'm arguing that delays wouldn't have mattered if they had charged him long before he'd already campaigned and won the Republican nomination. He was able to avoid a trial precisely because they waited until this point in time to do anything. Delaying is a common tactic in cases with people like him. Who couldn't have seen that coming? Are you arguing that Garland nor anyone else in the DOJ could have predicted this outcome? How do you argue that th
Well I can surely have a case against Trump dismissed as an armchair legal expert, so I guess that makes me equally competent to the best that the DOJ had to offer under Biden and the DNC's leadership.
From the article:
Unless you’re pretending you can see the future.
Based on the order of events. You’re the one claiming they built their case then didn’t do anything until there was just enough time to delay. The burden of proof is on you to support that claim.
If they charged him before he would still delay. You said it yourself. It doesn’t matter when they charge him. Either way he delays until after the election.
You couldn’t even read the article or support your claim that the DOJ waited before charging Trump.
