In reply to the discussion: The REAL Big Lie is: "No one is above the law." [View all]ancianita

Even if you could prove any "no wrongdoing" agreement -- which you won't find at the link -- the OP is wrong about "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" because of the factual record of arrests, convictions, sentencing that remain on a person(s) background, if they ever get background checked.
Anyone with common sense and knowledge of what the Justice Department, would rightly wonder how in hell anyone can call that a lie.
Fight to get Main Justice more funding. Lisa Monaco has hired over 130 more lawyers (this past April) on the Trump cases. Because by my count he's not above the 17 laws he broke. Garland has a badass from both the DOJ and the Hague on the Trump cases. AND his aiders and abettors.
Just because it's not the justice YOU want, or at the pace YOU want, doesn't mean justice isn't doing its job in the third biggest nation on the planet.
The FUD chorus here is just, "I want it NOW or you FAIL!" whining and bitching.

I recommend The Brothers about the Dulles brothers if you haven't already read it.

It was hard to do, but I've come to terms with the fact that Trump will never be held accountable.

We used to give to red states like fl, Ohio, and tx, in hopes that they would see the light

I still have some hope that Smith will indict him, but my confidence is low.

It really sucks to have a sense of justice while, in reality, it rarely comes about

No, it doesn't. It makes a claim. Only children engage in hyperbole about adult matters like LAW.

Listen to Rachel Maddow's Podcast 'ULTRA'. Politics IS above the Law. Always has been. Nothing new.
