If our laws cannot be enforced, why do we have them?

When it comes to Trump, our entire justice system is on trial, not just Trump. What is happening now will decide the future of our justice system, our country.

3. What laws are not being enforced?

Or is this another rant that AG Garland isn't moving fast enough?

7. Obstruction of justice, abuse of power, emollients clause, etc, etc, etc, were not enforced.

We will see if destroying Whitehouse documents is another law that will not be enforced. That is a slam dunk indictment. That will tell me a lot about our justice system.

When it comes to Garland investigating the coup attempt. That's in it's early stages. I do not believe it's moving too slowly.

14. I'm waiting for something actually damning coming out of those documents. So far, I haven't

seen anthing in writing that ties him to anything involving Jan 6.

The Committe has had the National Archive documents for a week or so. Plenty of time to find something incriminating, assuming it exists.

I think we run the risk of this becoming like Hilliary Clinton's email. A lot of nothing, but a great meme for opponents.

We need to prepare to beat trump at the polls, assuming he actually runs in earnest, which I doubt.

15. I watched him orchestrating the insurrection on live TV! He said go to the capital

and fight like hell! You didn't see that?

17. I saw that, it won't be enough to get him. If he was standing in front of Capitol telling the rubes

to storm the Capitol and take out Pence, that would be enough. But he wasn't and didn't.

How did you move the goal post from documents to his stupid speech?

18. I know you want him behind bars just as much as myself. Hell

everyone on DU are on that same page. Many of us are just losing our patience on why it's taking so damn long. Hopefully in the coming months when the 1/6 committee goes live with their hearings then things will start moving rapidly.

20. It's time for an interim report. If they don't have anything now, we need to figure out how to gracefully get out of this before midterms.

If we do have something -- for example, a trump sharpie drawing where trump directs the Ohio rube militia to enter the west side of capitol and proud rubes to enter from the south -- then it's time to prosecute or get another AG.

We are wasting too much time on this. Heck, we had the whole country watching when the committee started back in the summer showing films, had police officers describing the attack, etc., but the committee took a darn vacation or something.

From dictionary.com- Emollient:

Quote
adjective
having the power of softening or relaxing, as a medicinal substance; soothing, especially to the skin:
emollient lotions for the face.
noun
an emollient medicine, lotion, salve, etc.

So you're literally saying... man with rough, orange skin bad?

They seem to understand the 'law' aspect of our criminal justice system but that whole bit about needing evidence of a crime eludes them completely.

That's because their lives are governed by feelings rather than facts

I'll believe DUpipo might be serious about "enforcing laws" when they admit Bill Clinton was properly impeached for his perjury and obstruction of justice while under oath and improperly kept in office.

I'll believe DUpipo might be serious about "enforcing laws" when they call for the prosecution of HilLIARy Clinton and Huma for storing secret documents on an insecure email server and an insecure laptop.

I'll believe DUpipo might be serious about "enforcing laws" when they base their accusations against Trump on real US Code and unequivocal, clear, evidence.

Yeah, I know, none of that will happen, but just to remind onlurkers from DU we're on to their unseriousness (except for several DUpipo's severe mental illness, of course) and hypocrisy ...
