How telling of Lil Schitty that now is passing cartoons not only as allegedly humorous, but uniformly spreading the GOP lies.....!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!!!! I guess that's what happens when you marry children and get cut off from the reality of the day!!!!!
Next week, I’ll travel to the Middle East to start a new and more promising chapter of America’s engagement there. This trip comes at a vital time for the region, and it will advance important American interests.
Sign up for a weekly roundup of thought-provoking ideas and debates
A more secure and integrated Middle East benefits Americans in many ways. Its waterways are essential to global trade and the supply chains we rely on. Its energy resources are vital for mitigating the impact on global supplies of Russia’s war in Ukraine. And a region that’s coming together through diplomacy and cooperation — rather than coming apart through conflict — is less likely to give rise to violent extremism that threatens our homeland or new wars that could place new burdens on U.S. military forces and their families.
Avoiding that scenario is of paramount importance to me. I’ll pursue diplomacy intensely — including through face-to-face meetings — to achieve our goals.
The Middle East I’ll be visiting is more stable and secure than the one my administration inherited 18 months ago.
One month before my inauguration, our embassy in Baghdad faced the largest rocket attack in a decade. Attacks against our troops and diplomats had increased fourfold over the preceding year. My predecessor repeatedly ordered B-52 bombers to fly from the United States to the region and back again to deter these attacks. But it didn’t work, and the attacks continued.
The war in Yemen was escalating, creating one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with no political process in sight to end the fighting.
After my predecessor reneged on a nuclear deal that was working, Iran had passed a law mandating the rapid acceleration of its nuclear program. Then, when the last administration sought to condemn Iran for this action in the U.N. Security Council, the United States found itself isolated and alone.
In my first weeks as president, our intelligence and military experts warned that the region was dangerously pressurized. It needed urgent and intensive diplomacy. To restore deterrence, I ordered airstrikes in response to the attacks against our troops and began serious diplomatic outreach to bring about a more stable region.
In Iraq, we ended the U.S. combat mission and transitioned our military presence to focus on training Iraqis, while sustaining the global coalition against the Islamic State we forged when I was vice president, now dedicated to preventing ISIS from resurging. We’ve also responded to threats against Americans. The frequency of Iranian-sponsored attacks compared with two years ago has dropped precipitously. And this past February, in Syria, we took out ISIS leader Haji Abdullah, demonstrating America’s capability to eliminate terrorist threats no matter where they try to hide.
In Yemen, I named an envoy and engaged with leaders across the region, including with the king of Saudi Arabia, to lay the foundation for a truce. After a year of our persistent diplomacy, that truce is now in place, and lifesaving humanitarian assistance is reaching cities and towns that had been under siege. As a result, the past few months in Yemen have been the most peaceful in seven years.
With respect to Iran, we reunited with allies and partners in Europe and around the world to reverse our isolation; now it is Iran that is isolated until it returns to the nuclear deal my predecessor abandoned with no plan for what might replace it. Last month, more than 30 countries joined us to condemn Iran’s lack of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency on its past nuclear activities. My administration will continue to increase diplomatic and economic pressure until Iran is ready to return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, as I remain prepared to do.

Biden to Seek Price Cap on Russian Oil July 10, 2022 at 7:48 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 24 Comments
New York Times: “U.S. officials have latched on to a never-before-tried plan aimed at depressing global oil prices — one that would complement European sanctions and allow critical flows of Russian crude onto global markets to continue but at a steeply discounted price…”
“The potential for another oil shock to puncture the global economy, and perhaps Mr. Biden’s re-election prospects, has driven the administration’s attempts to persuade government and business leaders around the world to sign on to a global price cap on Russian oil.”
“It is a novel and untested effort to force Russia to sell its oil to the world at a steep discount. Administration officials and Mr. Biden say the goal is twofold: to starve Moscow’s oil-rich war machine of funding and to relieve pressure on energy consumers around the world who are facing rising fuel prices.”
Ukraine and the Contest of Global Stamina July 10, 2022 at 7:42 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 15 Comments
New York Times: “U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss strategy deliberations, are urging the Ukrainians to consolidate their forces at the front. But Ukraine’s leaders want to go further and mass enough personnel to mount a counteroffensive to retake territory, a goal that American officials support in theory even if they are dubious about the Ukrainians’ capacity to dislodge the Russians. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine told Group of 7 leaders last week that he wanted the war over by the end of the year. But there are serious doubts in Washington about whether that is possible militarily.”
“The Biden administration does not want to be seen pressuring Mr. Zelensky to negotiate a deal with the Kremlin at the risk of rewarding armed aggression, but officials and analysts said it would be hard to sustain the same level of material support as war fatigue grows on both sides of the Atlantic. Military aid passed by Congress is expected to last into the second quarter of next year, by some estimates, but the question is how long current supplies of weapons and ammunition can last without degrading the military readiness of the United States.”
“American officials have encouraged other countries to provide leftover stores of Soviet-made weaponry that Ukrainians are more familiar with — an item on Mr. Biden’s agenda for a trip to the Middle East next week, when he is scheduled to meet with leaders of Arab states that were once clients of Moscow.”
Strong statements from an experienced leader who is steadily repairing damage done by Trump.
Right, pederast.
Repairing historic stock market gains by erasing TRILLION$ in wealth.
Repairing the best US economy ever recorded by crushing it with 20% inflation.
Repairing the Taliban by gifting them $80 BILLION in weaponry while vaporizing small children and getting 13 service members killed as his parting shot.
Repairing 6% real wage gains by destroying purchasing power and crushing the value of the US Dollar.
Repairing the US southern border by allowing it to be invaded by 2 MILLION+ illegals.
Repairing US gas prices by more than doubling them while selling our SPR stockpile to fucking CHINA.
And that's just scratching the surface of all that FJB has done to "repair" all of that "damage" done by Trump.
Israel, we helped end a war in Gaza — which could easily have lasted months — in just 11 days. We’ve worked with Israel, Egypt, Qatar and Jordan to maintain the peace without permitting terrorists to rearm. We also rebuilt U.S. ties with the Palestinians. Working with Congress, my administration restored approximately $500 million in support for Palestinians, while also passing the largest support package for Israel — over $4 billion — in history. And this week, an Israeli prime minister spoke with the president of the Palestinian Authority for the first time in five years.
In Saudi Arabia, we reversed the blank-check policy we inherited. I released the intelligence community’s report on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, issued new sanctions, including on the Saudi Arabia’s Rapid Intervention Force involved in his killing, and issued 76 visa bans under a new rule barring entry into the United States for anyone found to be involved in harassing dissidents abroad. My administration has made clear that the United States will not tolerate extraterritorial threats and harassment against dissidents and activists by any government. We also advocated for American citizens who had been wrongfully detained in Saudi Arabia long before I took office. They have since been released, and I will continue to push for restrictions on their travel to be lifted.
From the start, my aim was to reorient — but not rupture — relations with a country that’s been a strategic partner for 80 years. Today, Saudi Arabia has helped to restore unity among the six countries of Gulf Cooperation Council, has fully supported the truce in Yemen and is now working with my experts to help stabilize oil markets with other OPEC producers.
I know that there are many who disagree with my decision to travel to Saudi Arabia. My views on human rights are clear and long-standing, and fundamental freedoms are always on the agenda when I travel abroad, as they will be during this trip, just as they will be in Israel and the West Bank.
Still, compared to 18 months ago, the region is less pressurized and more integrated. Former rivals have reestablished relations. Joint infrastructure projects are forging new partnerships. Iraq, which had long been a source of proxy conflicts and regional rivalries, now serves as a platform for diplomacy, including between Saudi Arabia and Iran. My friend King Abdullah of Jordan recently referred to the “new vibe” in the region, with countries asking, “How can we connect with each other and work with each other.”
These are promising trends, which the United States can strengthen in a way no other country can. My travel next week will serve that purpose.
Throughout my journey, I’ll have in mind the millions of Americans who served in the region, including my son Beau, and the 7,054 who died in conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan since Sept. 11, 2001.
Next week, I will be the first president to visit the Middle East since 9/11 without U.S. troops engaged in a combat mission there. It’s my aim to keep it that way
"Throughout my journey, I’ll have in mind the millions of Americans who served in the region, including my son Beau, and the 7,054 who died in conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan since Sept. 11, 2001."
He arrives at an uncertain moment for Israeli leadership. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid last month dissolved the Knesset as their politically diverse coalition crumbled. Lapid, the former foreign minister, is now the caretaker prime minister.
Biden also will face fresh questions about his commitment to human rights following the fatal shooting of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Independent investigations determined that she was likely shot by an Israeli soldier while reporting from the West Bank in May.
The Abu Akleh family, in a scathing letter to Biden, accused his administration of excusing the Israelis for the journalist’s death. The State Department last week said U.S. security officials determined that Israeli gunfire likely killed her but “found no reason to believe that this was intentional.”
It's still better than before when the isolationist former President Donald Trump was threatening to dissolve NATO and aligne with Putin
Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian populism without an agenda of radical democratic reform – a pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement. Democrats must stand squarely on the side of working people against oligarchy. They must form a unified coalition of people of all races, genders, and classes to unrig the system.
Trumpism is not the cause of our divided nation. It is the symptom of a rigged system that was already dividing us.
Biden’s approval rating craters to 30% after brutal week: poll
The poll, released Friday, found Biden deep underwater with voters in every age bracket, every educational level, and both genders. Every one of those groups showed approval rates under 40%, with the youngest voters, age 18 to 34, among the most dissatisfied at a dismal 21%
Just 56% of African Americans — the Dems’ most loyal voting bloc — signaled their approval, and Democrats overall hit 64%, a new low.
Even more galling, Biden’s 30% overall approval was far below the 39% that Civiqs registered in 2017 as President Donald Trump’s lowest-ever number — and not even in shouting distance of the 44% approval rating Trump notched at the same point in his presidency.
The survey came at the end of a dismal week for Biden, as the specter of recession loomed, gas prices remained near record highs, parents kept scrambling for baby formula, and a July 4 mass shooting roiled the gun control debate.
His administration took fire from every side as it failed to secure supplies of monkeypox vaccine and admitted that Border Patrol agents did not whip migrants, as Biden had claimed.

New #FactChecker —-> A one-source story about a 10-year-old and an abortion goes viral

The Washington Post "fact checker" is now plagiarizing
During his appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning, Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) stated there is no room on the ballot in his state for Republican candidates who are running for office by pushing Donald Trump's lies about election fraud.
In a wide-ranging interview with host Jake Tapper, Sununu -- who is rumored to be considering a presidential run of his own as he runs for re-election in November-- claimed running on the "Big Lie" is disqualifying in his eyes.
Pete Buttigieg utterly destroys Fox News host for whining about Kavanaugh protests
David Edwards
July 10, 2022
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg faced down a Fox News host who complained about peaceful protests against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over abortion rights.
During an interview on Fox News, host Mike Emmanuel asked Buttigieg if it was "appropriate" for demonstrators to protest outside a restaurant where Kavanaugh was dining.
Buttigieg acknowledged that public officials "should always be free from violence."
"You're never going to be free from criticism or peaceful protests, people exercising their First Amendment rights," the Transporation secretary pointed out.
Buttigieg talked over Emmanuel as he tried to interrupt.
"That's what happened in this case," he explained. "Remember, the justice never even came into contact with these protesters, reportedly didn't see or hear them. And these protesters are upset because a right, an important right that the majority of Americans support was taken away."
Remember when Roger assured us that IF Elected President Trump Would not be: Good for the US Economy Pro Life Would get us into War Appointing True Constitutionalist.
Actually Mayor Pete should have a better understanding of the law.
But like most liberals (even their justices) the law matters little.
It is specifically "ILLEGAL" to do any sort of protests aimed at Justices that are designed to pressure them into certain decisions. It is specifically illegal to protest at their homes or follow them in private situations.
Common Refrain. "TRUMP WAS RIGHT". "In 2020, the U.S. government announced that it was considering banning the Chinese social media platform TikTok upon a request from then-U.S. president Donald Trump, who viewed the app as a national security threat."
Remember when Roger assured us that IF Elected President Trump Would not be: Good for the US Economy Pro Life Would get us into War Appointing True Constitutionalist.
Prosecute Trump? Merrick Garland is investigating aggressively but prosecuting cautiously
Why isn’t Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland prosecuting Trump? Indicting a former president for trying to subvert an election is harder than it looks.
(Patrick Semansky / Associated Press)
BY DOYLE MCMANUSWASHINGTON COLUMNIST
The House committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, insurgency, whose hearings resume this week, has produced impressive evidence that could allow prosecutors to argue that former President Trump committed crimes as he tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Thanks to the hearings, we now know more clearly that Trump tried to bully Vice President Mike Pence into blocking Congress’ count of electoral votes, tried to bully Justice Department officials into declaring the election fraudulent even though they knew it wasn’t and stood by with seeming approval while his armed supporters sacked the Capitol.
All of which has led many ordinary citizens — and not just Trump-haters
The answer is both complicated and simple. Indicting a former president for trying to subvert a presidential election is harder than it looks.
“It’s definitely not a slam-dunk,” Paul Rosenzweig, a former federal prosecutor (and anti-Trump Republican), told me last week. “It will require tough decisions.”
The problem isn’t lack of evidence. The former Trump aides who have testified before the House committee and been interviewed by the FBI have taken care of that.
The problem, Rosenzweig and other former prosecutors said, is that convincing a jury that Trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt will still be difficult — especially when the former president, armed with good lawyers, can challenge that evidence.
“We know from the polls that about 30% of the American people think Trump did nothing wrong on Jan. 6,” Rosenzweig said. “Thirty percent of a jury is three or four people. I think getting a unanimous conviction will be nearly impossible, even in the liberal District of Columbia.”
And a trial that ends in Trump’s acquittal, he warned, would backfire.
“It would not only have the effect of giving Trump impunity,” he said, “it would give him impunity and an aura of invincibility.”
“Indicting a past and possible future political adversary of the current president would be a cataclysmic event,” Jack Goldsmith, a former Justice Department official in the George W. Bush administration, warned last month. “It would be seen by many as politicized retribution. The prosecution would take many years to conclude … [and would] deeply affect the next election.”
Others lawyers, both Republicans and Democrats, disagree vigorously.
“It’s essential that Trump be prosecuted, if only to deter him and future presidential candidates from trying to do this again,” Norman Eisen, a former Obama administration official, argued. “It would do terrible damage to allow a former president to walk free after committing acts for which anyone else would be indicted.”
Those debates don’t amount to a conclusive argument against prosecuting Trump. But they do add up to a list of reasons why Garland should avoid a rush to judgment while his investigators do their work — and that, to all appearances, is precisely what he’s doing.
Others disagree. Donald B. Ayer, another Republican former prosecutor, thinks a conviction would be possible. “Trump was ready to have Mike Pence be killed,” Ayer said. “You tell that story to a jury, and I think you win.”
But Ayer notes that Justice Department regulations require that prosecutors believe they have a high probability of winning a conviction before they can indict. By that standard, what Garland is doing is both correct and by the book. He’s investigating aggressively — but prosecuting cautiously.
Justice Department lawyers have served subpoenas on Rudolph W. Giuliani and John Eastman, lawyers who advised Trump on his schemes, and on pro-Trump activists who organized bogus slates of “alternative electors” in swing states like Arizona and Georgia.
Last month, FBI agents searched the Virginia home of Jeffrey Clark, a former top Justice Department official who pushed colleagues to endorse Trump’s claims of voter fraud.
And prosecutors have indicted leaders of the right-wing Proud Boys and Oath Keepers militias on charges of seditious conspiracy in connection with Jan. 6.
All of which suggests that the Justice Department is pursuing a traditional organized-crime model in its investigation: prosecuting small fish to build cases against the higher-ups.
Even so, Trump will be able to argue in his defense that he lacked criminal intent, by claiming either that he genuinely believed the election had been stolen or did not know that interfering with Congress could be against the law.
The most likely charges against Trump are conspiracy to defraud the United States, a broad statute that covers almost any illegitimate interference with government operations, and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.
There is also a broader policy question surrounding a decision to indict a former president, an action no prosecutor has taken before: Would it be in the national interest?
Who graduated high school with a C+ average and got a SAT score 400 points lower than mine and couldn't cut college.
Apparently Roger is the dumbest genius in the history of the planet!
As Forrest Gump once said...
Stupid is as stupid does.
Stupid people graduate high school with C+ averages and below average SAT scored. Genius graduate with honors and get extremely high SAT scores. That is just a fact!

The Biden Administration just sent another 400 Million to Ukraine!!
Shouldn't we focus on using American taxpayer money on issues here at home like school safety and securing our southern border?
That's now approaching something like 60 BILLION dollars
and Joe has not even bothered to visit our southern border
but has time to visit foereign borders
and dig up his other son
No mention of Hunter though
I thought he served and got kicked out ?
but he is going to visit countries were he sent pallets of cash
in the middle of the night in the waning days of his stint as VP
* and Joe has not even bothered to visit our southern border
maybe it's too dangerous
or the traffic too heavy
He arrives at an uncertain moment for Israeli leadership. Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid last month dissolved the Knesset as their politically diverse coalition crumbled. Lapid, the former foreign minister, is now the caretaker prime minister.
Biden also will face fresh questions about his commitment to human rights following the fatal shooting of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Independent investigations determined that she was likely shot by an Israeli soldier while reporting from the West Bank in May.
The Abu Akleh family, in a scathing letter to Biden, accused his administration of excusing the Israelis for the journalist’s death. The State Department last week said U.S. security officials determined that Israeli gunfire likely killed her but “found no reason to believe that this was intentional.”
It's still better than before when the isolationist former President Donald Trump was threatening to dissolve NATO and aligne with Putin
Looks like alky had a dementia moment in copying Biden's ENTIRE word-for-word "editorial"
The alky's infamous 137 IQ in action.
If only he had applied himself he could've amounted to more than a broken-down drunken wife beater confined to a psychiatric hospital.
Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian populism without an agenda of radical democratic reform – a pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement. Democrats must stand squarely on the side of working people against oligarchy. They must form a unified coalition of people of all races, genders, and classes to unrig the system.
Trumpism is not the cause of our divided nation. It is the symptom of a rigged system that was already dividing us.
We need a new FDR style leader.
Actually 142, and I am not locked in. And ✔️ I am not a racist rodent bastard.

Biden’s approval rating craters to 30% after brutal week: poll
The poll, released Friday, found Biden deep underwater with voters in every age bracket, every educational level, and both genders. Every one of those groups showed approval rates under 40%, with the youngest voters, age 18 to 34, among the most dissatisfied at a dismal 21%
Just 56% of African Americans — the Dems’ most loyal voting bloc — signaled their approval, and Democrats overall hit 64%, a new low.
Even more galling, Biden’s 30% overall approval was far below the 39% that Civiqs registered in 2017 as President Donald Trump’s lowest-ever number — and not even in shouting distance of the 44% approval rating Trump notched at the same point in his presidency.
The survey came at the end of a dismal week for Biden, as the specter of recession loomed, gas prices remained near record highs, parents kept scrambling for baby formula, and a July 4 mass shooting roiled the gun control debate.
His administration took fire from every side as it failed to secure supplies of monkeypox vaccine and admitted that Border Patrol agents did not whip migrants, as Biden had claimed.

We are, quite literally, witness to the complete collapse of an American presidency, and all the left can do is fixate on Trump and harass and attempt to assassinate a USSC Justice.
But is US who is the threat to American democracy.

HEY GLENN! Hi! Remember me? I'm the journalist you stole this story from without crediting me, without linking @PJMedia_com or my viral tweet. Do you have a comment on that before I write about what you did? I'm under deadline. I'd appreciate a response ASAP
The Washington Post "fact checker" is now plagiarizing
After getting caught in a FAKE "fact check"
how low can the Washington Post go
obviously still lower
and used by Biden...
During his appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning, Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) stated there is no room on the ballot in his state for Republican candidates who are running for office by pushing Donald Trump's lies about election fraud.
In a wide-ranging interview with host Jake Tapper, Sununu -- who is rumored to be considering a presidential run of his own as he runs for re-election in November-- claimed running on the "Big Lie" is disqualifying in his eyes.

Pete Buttigieg utterly destroys Fox News host for whining about Kavanaugh protests
David Edwards
July 10, 2022
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg faced down a Fox News host who complained about peaceful protests against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over abortion rights.
During an interview on Fox News, host Mike Emmanuel asked Buttigieg if it was "appropriate" for demonstrators to protest outside a restaurant where Kavanaugh was dining.
Buttigieg acknowledged that public officials "should always be free from violence."
"You're never going to be free from criticism or peaceful protests, people exercising their First Amendment rights," the Transporation secretary pointed out.
Buttigieg talked over Emmanuel as he tried to interrupt.
"That's what happened in this case," he explained. "Remember, the justice never even came into contact with these protesters, reportedly didn't see or hear them. And these protesters are upset because a right, an important right that the majority of Americans support was taken away."
Remember when Roger assured us that IF Elected President Trump Would not be:
Good for the US Economy
Pro Life
Would get us into War
Appointing True Constitutionalist.
Wrong is so Spectacularly wrong .

Hey racist roger
attempting to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice is not a "peaceful protest"
neither is the unlawful "protests" in front of their residences
nor intimidation techniques
Maybe mayor Pete would like to experience that ?
* glad to see roger is still alert

Yes, and Alkynomics believe that his Bottom-Up Economics is working.

Actually Mayor Pete should have a better understanding of the law.
But like most liberals (even their justices) the law matters little.
It is specifically "ILLEGAL" to do any sort of protests aimed at Justices that are designed to pressure them into certain decisions. It is specifically illegal to protest at their homes or follow them in private situations.
But hey....
Pete is a loser liberal.
They don't follow the laws...
They make them up!
Madam Buttigeg, transportation Secretary has failed at his job.

Not that it should matter, but they killed a 72 year old black man.
Can’t even begin to imagine the riots if it was white kids who did this.
Black Lives Matter is silent here, proving yet again they don’t truly value black lives.

Prosecute Trump? Merrick Garland is investigating aggressively but prosecuting cautiously
Why isn’t Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland prosecuting Trump? Indicting a former president for trying to subvert an election is harder than it looks.
(Patrick Semansky / Associated Press)
BY DOYLE MCMANUSWASHINGTON COLUMNIST
The House committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, insurgency, whose hearings resume this week, has produced impressive evidence that could allow prosecutors to argue that former President Trump committed crimes as he tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Thanks to the hearings, we now know more clearly that Trump tried to bully Vice President Mike Pence into blocking Congress’ count of electoral votes, tried to bully Justice Department officials into declaring the election fraudulent even though they knew it wasn’t and stood by with seeming approval while his armed supporters sacked the Capitol.
All of which has led many ordinary citizens — and not just Trump-haters
The answer is both complicated and simple. Indicting a former president for trying to subvert a presidential election is harder than it looks.
“It’s definitely not a slam-dunk,” Paul Rosenzweig, a former federal prosecutor (and anti-Trump Republican), told me last week. “It will require tough decisions.”
The problem isn’t lack of evidence. The former Trump aides who have testified before the House committee and been interviewed by the FBI have taken care of that.
The problem, Rosenzweig and other former prosecutors said, is that convincing a jury that Trump is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt will still be difficult — especially when the former president, armed with good lawyers, can challenge that evidence.
“We know from the polls that about 30% of the American people think Trump did nothing wrong on Jan. 6,” Rosenzweig said. “Thirty percent of a jury is three or four people. I think getting a unanimous conviction will be nearly impossible, even in the liberal District of Columbia.”
And a trial that ends in Trump’s acquittal, he warned, would backfire.
“It would not only have the effect of giving Trump impunity,” he said, “it would give him impunity and an aura of invincibility.”
“Indicting a past and possible future political adversary of the current president would be a cataclysmic event,” Jack Goldsmith, a former Justice Department official in the George W. Bush administration, warned last month. “It would be seen by many as politicized retribution. The prosecution would take many years to conclude … [and would] deeply affect the next election.”
Others lawyers, both Republicans and Democrats, disagree vigorously.
“It’s essential that Trump be prosecuted, if only to deter him and future presidential candidates from trying to do this again,” Norman Eisen, a former Obama administration official, argued. “It would do terrible damage to allow a former president to walk free after committing acts for which anyone else would be indicted.”
Those debates don’t amount to a conclusive argument against prosecuting Trump. But they do add up to a list of reasons why Garland should avoid a rush to judgment while his investigators do their work — and that, to all appearances, is precisely what he’s doing.
Others disagree. Donald B. Ayer, another Republican former prosecutor, thinks a conviction would be possible. “Trump was ready to have Mike Pence be killed,” Ayer said. “You tell that story to a jury, and I think you win.”
But Ayer notes that Justice Department regulations require that prosecutors believe they have a high probability of winning a conviction before they can indict. By that standard, what Garland is doing is both correct and by the book. He’s investigating aggressively — but prosecuting cautiously.
Justice Department lawyers have served subpoenas on Rudolph W. Giuliani and John Eastman, lawyers who advised Trump on his schemes, and on pro-Trump activists who organized bogus slates of “alternative electors” in swing states like Arizona and Georgia.
Last month, FBI agents searched the Virginia home of Jeffrey Clark, a former top Justice Department official who pushed colleagues to endorse Trump’s claims of voter fraud.
And prosecutors have indicted leaders of the right-wing Proud Boys and Oath Keepers militias on charges of seditious conspiracy in connection with Jan. 6.
All of which suggests that the Justice Department is pursuing a traditional organized-crime model in its investigation: prosecuting small fish to build cases against the higher-ups.
Even so, Trump will be able to argue in his defense that he lacked criminal intent, by claiming either that he genuinely believed the election had been stolen or did not know that interfering with Congress could be against the law.
The most likely charges against Trump are conspiracy to defraud the United States, a broad statute that covers almost any illegitimate interference with government operations, and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.
There is also a broader policy question surrounding a decision to indict a former president, an action no prosecutor has taken before: Would it be in the national interest?
Actually 142, and I am not locked in.
Who graduated high school with a C+ average and got a SAT score 400 points lower than mine and couldn't cut college.
Apparently Roger is the dumbest genius in the history of the planet!
As Forrest Gump once said...
Stupid is as stupid does.
Stupid people graduate high school with C+ averages and below average SAT scored. Genius graduate with honors and get extremely high SAT scores. That is just a fact!
True Scott.
Roger is so smart his networtg can be put in a match box.
