If you are angry, frustrated, with the investigations. This is who you should blame.

The Republicans in Congress.

A legal system, laws, have never been put in place to deal with a lunatic, criminal, president. The founding fathers put in place Impeachment.

When Trump was impeached the first time, he was proven guilty. The Republicans in Congress did the unthinkable. They violated their oaths of office, violated the constitution. Let a lunatic, a criminal, walk free, remain in power. They knew he was dangerous. They knew he was mentally unstable. They did this because they are cowards. Now look at them. They are completely worthless as a Party.

Everything that has happened from the moment The Republicans failed to uphold their oaths, the constitution, has been catastrophic for our country. Now the DOJ is trying to clean up a horrific mess that should have never happened. J6 should have never happened.

This is the story the news media should be telling, focusing on. Instead of endless speculation on investigations that should have never been needed in the first place.

Hi,

You are correct. If the republicans served this country, rather than the MAGA agenda, he would have been impeached and J6 wouldn't have happened. The Trump crime syndicate was doing a lot of crimes prior to that point (Jared/Ivanka, etc.) too.

I still wish the DOJ would have not punted the ball to special counsel. As the federal investigations drag on, I am very concerned. Concerned that Trump and his co-conspirators will blow-up this country. The longer they are free to spread hate, lies, and get money from Russian mobsters....the longer we are all in peril.

I know the cases are complicated. I want to see federal indictments now.

Thanks for your thoughts.

People should go back and listen to the impassioned voices of Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff and others, when they made their cases for impeachment.

I would even go further back to 1972 and say that Jerry Ford must shoulder some of the blame for our current state of affairs. Pardoning Richard Nixon was the worse thing he could have done. True, it would have had reprecussions across the nation. But, we would have recovered. If he had done what he should have done back then, maybe we wouldnt be in the state we are now.

I know they took some action but it was not enough to protect us from a lunatic like Trump. Will Congress act after this nightmare is over. Pass laws that protect us. Time will tell.
