US Politics

[Stirlingsays]

The common curse of mankind, folly and ignorance, be thine in great revenue!

It was folly
To date Dolly
She drove a lorry
After two pumps I was sorry
So she ended up in the quarry
Well, it's an allegory

But they did and that is the problem.

I do not doubt that there was genuine cause in all the Trump prosecutions. They were far from political fictions as we see in e.g. Russia. However, one word: resources.

Vast sums from a limited pot were spent on these prosecutions. A choice was made by those authorities where the opportunity cost translated into less being spent on other prosecutions.

The important word there is "choice". Sure it is nice to see a jackass like Trump squirming and being held to some account. But try telling that to victims of serious crime whose case must be cheaply plea bargained away; to a rape victim who now has to wait another year from her case to come to trial; to cases collapsing as key witnesses withdraw over the passage of time.

An active decision was made to divert significant resources to Trump and away from the vast bundle of "smaller" prosecutions that had to give way. That was a political decision. I don't see what else it could be.

Did what? Interfere? They just didn’t. They stayed away from it and let the law take its course.

The problem being, politics does interfere. who is the law? So many of the main players are a political choice .

In the USA that’s true up to the point they are put into office. Then the law becomes their master. Sure the Supreme Court justices who are often required to determine what is meant by the constitution demonstrate conservative or more liberal tendencies but not outright support for a particular party.

On the fun side, a US Army Lieutenant Colonel was arrested at Imjin Barracks on suspicion that he was giving information to Russia. So that is kind of fun.

i wouldn't be surprised if local authorities hold their case and let the US Army go after him for being naughty as it makes things easier as the Army has a few extra FU charges that can get added on to make his stay at Leavenworth a little extra special.

Except, once again, I haven't. And for the third time, it's about them making it their FIRST actions and priorities.

Your comprehension is terrible.

You really are an idiot. You have no defence for the Trump administration so you attack the Dems with a flimsy narrative about revenge. You are a joke, totally refusing to concede that you’re backing a corrupt regime. I’ll waste no further time here.
