This Is What Democrats Are Up Against

[gab13by13]

On Mehdi Hasan tonight, he debated whether to indict Trump before the election. The consensus was that DOJ would not indict 65 days prior to the election because the MSM would be all over DOJ for being partisan to Democrats. So, DOJ can't indict Trump 65 days prior to the election but James Comey can announce the bogus investigation into Hillary's emails 11 days before the election but the MSM did not object to what Comey did, it pushed lock her up.

See the difference?

The MSM is right wing, all of it, it pushes Magat talking points. So much coverage of Trump's rally with a tiny mention about President Biden's speech to the nation.

1. JMHO, an indictment pre midterms may empower gqp to get out and vote. Don't want that!

Having said that, I don’t think that’s what’s front and center on Merrick Garland’s mind. A slam dunk no wiggle room indictment with a 100% chance of conviction is first.

10. So when Democrats impeached Trump

you are correct, it drove out Trump's base for the 2020 election. The thing is, the impeachment of Trump drove out more Democrats than Republicans.

Are you sure that a pre-election indictment of Trump would bring out more Magats than Democrats? It didn't work that way for Trump's impeachment.

[PortTack]

37. No, not sure at all. Your points are a good reminder, at least for me not to get caught up in RW

Talking points!

2. So how much are they paying you to tell us this???

Just thought I’d yell something so stupid lotsa folk will believe them. 😂

[DURHAM D]

3. Make that - the bogus investigation into Hillary's emails"

[gab13by13]

11. Thank you, I made the correction.

[unblock]

4. Oh the media most definitely determined that comey was very very naughty

Which is why they're not going to do to republicans what they did to democrats.

See how that works?

Doj won't break the rules anymore either.


The media decided they were way too fawning to Donnie, but hitch is why they are being responsibly critical of Biden now.

See how that works?

5. So does the media just make this shit up? He is not running for election.

I would like to see him indicted on the night of the election, give us two things to celebrate.

[Mr.Bill]

9. Arrest him as soon as the polls close. n/t

[gab13by13]

12. I can go for that,

Here is the thing about waiting to indict him, he will immediately announce he is running for president and then he will appeal, delay, appearing before a grand jury.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Once indicted, Trump is unlikely to be called before a Grand Jury

The Grand Jury will have already spoken via the indictment.

Trump would proceed directly to trial, with his flailing attempts to delay the inevitable.

Announcing his candidacy would have no effect on DOJ’s actions at this point in time.

[gab13by13]

22. Good to hear that because time matters,

a Trump trial wouldn't happen for a couple of years.

[Bev54]

26. I thought targets are not brought before the grand jury - it makes no difference.

6. See Fools News for phony outrage machine prime examples by the minute?

It is a game to them and they don't care how they win?

Consequences aren't even considered much?

Media just wants people glued to it for ratings and advertising revenue based on said ratings.

If all is right in our world, they are much much poorer?

Sucks, news outfits trying to make/augment, instead of just reporting...

Flexible facts!

8. I didn't watch the show.

Did anyone mention the fact that Trump is not currently running for any office and is a private citizen?

[gab13by13]

14. They mentioned that Trump endorsed many candidates

who are running and used that excuse for not being able to indict him so close to the election.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. If you think Hasan is Right Wing, you need to take a break from TV. Nt

[gab13by13]

17. I have no idea where you got that notion?

I must not have made my post clear, please explain.

I only watch Nicolle, Chris Hayes, and Mehdi on cable news. I would like Mehdi to get a prime time slot. he should have gotten Alex Wagner's spot.

[c-rational]

15. Yes, MSM is the problem, and they need to be thwarted or reined-in to save our Democracy.

[PortTack]

39. Absolutely absolutely!

[BootinUp]

18. I'm not sure this is bad for us. I don't mean about Comey

Just that its going to be a better midterm for us if they wait till after. imho.

[wnylib]

19. We need left wing media.

[Takket]

20. it's 65 days away. over two motnhs! FFS ARREST HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why this pisses me off so much...............

It's too close to the election to indict!

[gab13by13]

21. I'm going to mark you down

for pre-election indictment, right?

[Takket]

31. Yeah go ahead and do that lol

[Bettie]

24. And the second the midterms are over

"it's too close to the presidential election!".

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. I am so fucking sick and tired of the excuses not to indict

and arrest Trump.

[Timewas]

27. This is LAW

Not politics as usual....

[Joinfortmill]

28. I don't think Merrick Garland gives one fuck about Mehdi Hasan's opinion

[gab13by13]

29. Mehdi Hasan never gave his opinion,

he had 3 guests on, 2 of them said to wait after the election, the writer for the Atlantic, I think his name is Adam Greene, understood, but would indict.

Just stop and think if cable news anchors would have a debate like we are having here for this thread. It is what they should be debating. Do not underestimate the power of controlling the narrative. Instead of talking about indicting Trump they are talking about the search warrant, about Trump's rally.

[lees1975]

30. So what? Do we go by the rule of law or not?

If this were just about anyone else, they'd have been charged and jailed without bond and that's what should happen to him. He shouldn't even be eligible to announce he's running for President and if the GOP had an ounce of integrity, they'd make it impossible for him to seek their nomination.

Let's get on with this.

As far as his rallies go, they're not even filling the small venues where they're held. People don't want to spend two hours waiting in line and then two hours listening to a demented, rambling, repetitive speech that seeks applause after every line. No charge now, they're free.

[Shermanator]

33. Two wrongs don't make a right

Comey was absolutely wrong to announce something like that 11 days before an election.

[Justice matters.]

34. Indict him this week if he refuses to come in to inform investigators about what

he did with the documents, and especially those that are missing.

This is about National Security GDI, military informations and materials, not about a midterm election!

Besides, he would lie to the FBI (easy to predict that) so indict him for it too.

And pretty sure that the next day, he would publicly claim that the FBI planted them in his office, and that he never stole them, which would contradict many of his previous statements.

Let him squirm and lie every day until the election. Expose how dangerous he is to the NS, to the troopers abroad, to the military. A lot of anti-trump conservatives may decide to vote for Dems, or just stay home disgusted, and keep informing young women about Roe-vember.

Force republiQons to defend their Dear Leader... I don't think independents will vote for treason...

[hadEnuf]

35. This is about the rule of law and possible espionage.

Let's stand for the law and not politics.

[SoCalDavidS]

36. I Am Going To Stand By My Prediction That He Is NEVER Indicted

If I’m wrong, then I’ll be thrilled. But there is no way I’m going against history. And History shows time and time again, that when you are special, you get away with breaking laws every time. TFG is Above The Law, until proven otherwise.

[Earth-shine]

41. I hate that I agree with you, but I do. And even if he does get indicted, he still won't go to jail.

it has always been that way
