Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Man, it sure would be nice if the person who orchestrated all this would face some sort of repercussions
There's a theory that they're working towards that. Convict the small fish while gathering evidence and establishing the truth. Maybe even get some to turn and inform. You don't shoot at the king and miss.
3.5 years just to indict the small fries, let alone convict before going after the big fish. Trump is going to be dead before consequences from Arizona land on him.
Well yes, but also Arizona's current attorney general was only sworn in at the beginning of last year after her predecessor wasn't really interested in following up on this.
Yeah, that argument may have worked 1 or 2 years ago, but the thing is that there is a deadline for nailing him. If he gets reelected then that ship has sailed.
He won't get reelected, period.
Do people forget that he fucking lost the election while being a sitting president?
While I sure hope you are right, I fear that he just might get reelected (by the EC, anyway).
It took awhile to get Copone and that was just on taxes. These sorts of cases take awhile to build up even when they are going fast. luckily they tend to be exponential after awhile so we may see some speed up eventually.
Seems like a problem when you can't prosecute people for trying to steal an election within an election cycle. It seems absolutely batshit to me that they're going to be allowed to participate in a democracy that they tried to overthrow. It's one thing telling people to get out there and vote against them, but these treasonous fuckers cheated last time and they're going to do it again.
Roger Stone?
