Just about everything trumpturd has done prior to this was/is a crime.

But everything from when he lost bigly in November with his months long incitement leading up to (and inside planning of 1/6/21) he incited his domestic terrorist mobs on to the Capitol where he watched it all unfold from the White House for hours (while watching and rewinding and re-watching the violent mobs he incited - knowing that they had weapons - yet 'weren't there to hurt me') - yet did nothing until hours later - when he told his domestic terrorist mobs that they were special and that they loved them. 

I don't call that 'being irresponsibly late to act on a crime'  I call that treason/sedition.

He's just lucky his final sentence won't be execution before a firing squad.

For Fucks' Sake.

Why hasn't Garland acted on it.

We can easily presume that the government will want to ensure they have the best possible case before they indict Trump.   How much time is that supposed to take in your expert opinion?

Next, in your expert opinion, what are all the factors Garland must consider with respect to timing of an indictment and then criminal trial of a PotUS for the first time in our history?   How do these factors affect the timetable?

Apparently, Brandon Requests things too !

Yes, HERE is what Biden requested that day:

And I also know that the only way to bear it is to turn all that anguish to purpose. So tonight, I ask all of America to join me — not in denying our pain or covering it over — but using it to compel our nation across this turbulent threshold into the next phase of progress, inclusion, and opportunity for our great democracy. We are a nation in pain, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us. We are a nation enraged, but we cannot allow our rage to consume us. We are a nation exhausted, but we will not allow our exhaustion to defeat us.

What is your issue with that request? Please be specific. 

This is what your "right and necessary" snippet looks like in the adult world:

Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.

There's much more to Biden's statement but I doubt you'd want to read it because it doesn't bolster your agenda. 

But that's Okay, he was just Running to Be President of "ALL" People back then !

What's not okay about the above quote? Again, be specific.

I made no such claim. 

YOU stated:

Bidens advocating of Violent Protests against Government, any Government, is AOK ! Biden advocated for Americans to "use" their Pain and keep ransacking and burning and looting, Even against Private Citizens.

You claim to know what Biden was 'advocating' for, yet you had to mischaracterize what he said to do it. 

Now, do you have any answers to my questions or are you just trolling?

It can be but that is not the case is it?

We are talking about inaction being a crime.

Withholding medical care or nutrition is a criminal act.

Failure to report a crime or abuse of a child or elder is a crime.

Failure to fulfill a legal duty to act is a crime.

Failure for a government official to violate their oath to the Constitution 

violates the "take care" clause of the Constitution to faithfully execute

the Law.

But all of your comrades claim it is obvious. And don't forget what we learned via the Sussman trial: All Garland has to do is bring charges of any kind against Trump to a DC jury and he will have a conviction. What Garland fears is that such a conviction would be overturned on appeal, thus exposing the DOJ as BIASED & CORRUPT in a case involving a former President being investigated by the opposition party.

Where's Garland and the indictment?

Where's John Durham and the promises of multiple indictments?

Still chasing McCabe, Hillary or Comey? Obama?

Durham convicted a lowly FBI lawyer of altering an official internal document.  Clinesmith received probation and community service...

Sussman walked...

Following the precedent of past special counsels, Durham will likely release a final report with his findings. Garland has previously said he hopes to publicly release "as much as possible" of the eventual Durham report, after it goes through a Justice Department redaction process.
Trump has claimed that the probe will vindicate his claims of Watergate-level crimes against him and his allies. After three years, Durham is nowhere near delivering on those expectations.
Patience for your avatar's snail pace but not Garland's?
That's just bad form.

With your expertise with RW sources, you should have no problem posting some facts that can contest last night's testimony.

Please proceed. 

Oh and I remind you again, McCarthy assigned Rep. Banks to do an independent investigation. Surely Banks has evidence that contests last night's testimony.

We can count on Banks to set the record straight, right?

The PotUS is the head of government.   Ultimately he is responsible for the workings of the government.   If the PotUS is informed that the US capitol is under siege, do you expect him to say:

Well, gee, I do not see capitol security or 'talking down my supporters' as part of my job description so I will just ignore this.

In reality, Snuffy, in government and in business (and elsewhere even) authority and responsibility are delegated down the chain but those who do the delegating remain ultimately responsible and ultimately hold the authority to act. 

So if something in your realm of authority is not being addressed it is ultimately up to you to ensure that it is.    'The buck stops here' and all that.

In this case Trump was directly informed of the violence and criminal activity and was directly informed that it was his supporters engaging in this bad behavior and was pleaded, repeatedly, by advisors, family and 'friends' to act yet he did not tell them to go home until 187 minutes into the insurrection.

I have a question for all the right wingers currently polluting this seed.  Trump watched the riot on television, knew it had turned violent, and yet did nothing , even though he was being asked repeatedly to send a messsage to his followers to ask them to leave the capitol.  Didnt Trump have a responsibilty, as president, to do everything he could to end the attck on the capitol?

There is a tweet that Trump made at 2:25, well after it was clear a riot was taking place and the rioters were trying to breach the congressional chambers. 

Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands truth!”

Trump sent that tweet , which was seen by thousands of the rioters, even though he knew that Mike Pence was in danger at that moment. This is blatant dereliction of duty.

Hell, anyone that doesn't know that Trump sent the following tweet is willfully ignorant:

2:24 PM [10 minutes AFTER the first insurrectionist entered the Capitol and 9 minutes AFTER Pence was removed from the Senate floor and the Senate was recessed] Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

14 minutes later, Trump tweeted this: 

Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!

14 minutes after that, Trump tweeted this:

I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

Trump's next tweet was 74 minutes later and it was his video.

This is vastly worse than Watergate. As usual, you can see in real time how many Trump supporters and voters and mouthpieces and propagandists are pivoting their focus on other topics to deflect the base onto something else.

Perpetual blame gaming, perpetual victimhood, perpetual excuses and perpetual avoidance of any responsibility for the likes of Nixon, or Bush or Trump. Not their fault for standing by their man or voting for them or carrying their baggage? 

They are never, ever, ever going to admit any wrong for believing lies, spreading lies, or avoiding their votes for lies and liars.

All that is going to happen is the non-stop pivot to other topics and rage baiting as a deflection and every single solitary last Republican voter will do nothing but for all eternity check that "R" box at the ballot box no matter what lie or bad policy is being pushed on them.

They are a  lost cause and will always vote party line regardless.

To deem the evidence presented by these hearings to be a nothing burger is staggering.   After all, one can illustrate the insanity of this using only evidence from the last session which shows that Trump knew his supporters were engaging in an armed breaking & entering of the US Capitol building and he refused all the pleas from advisors, family and friends to step in until 187 minutes after it started.

How can anyone deem it a 'nothing burger' for a PotUS to literally refuse to stop an insurrection of the US Capitol??

The question ... 'Is it a dereliction of duty and violation of the oath of office for a CiC/PotUS to refuse to take any action to curtail an insurrection of the US Capitol?' ... is one that (prior to Trump's Big Lie campaign) one would expect everyone to answer:  'of course'.

Not in Trump-land — an alternate reality where this (and much more) is collectively a nothing burger.

We, this is an easy answer.

It's not Trump's job to stop a riot, especially one he did not instigate. It's not his fault a bunch of idiots did what they did. Bottom line is you hold THEM accountable for their actions, not Trump. It was the Capitol police. Because Pelosi failed to get National Guard there to protect the Capitol, much blame lies with her.

Most evidence shows Trump called for a safe and peaceful protest and memos from the Pentagon shows even Milley admitted Trump ordered the Capitol to stay secure and safe. Even if he went on TV to tell the idiots to stop right away, how many of them would know it because they were outside or in the Capitol?

Best guess?

Zero

Like I mentioned in a previous post.

When a leftist can show that another prominent leftist called for the condemnation of any riot in Summer of 2020 within a 187 minutes, and told THOSE idiots to stop doing what they were doing, even in federal buildings in Oregon, then I will condemn Trump for not doing anything within the 187 minutes.

It's not Trump's job to stop a riot, especially one he did not instigate.

Interesting.  The Capitol of the USA is attacked by an armed mob who break and enter the premises and disrupt the proceedings.  This mob was told by Trump to march on the Capitol.   Yet you actually argue that the president of the USA, the CiC, the person who is the head of government should not be asked to speak to his supporters and tell them to stop the insurrection because it is 'not his job'.    

This is your defense of Trump?   You think this makes any sense?   That anyone would be persuaded by such nonsense?

Advisors, family and 'friends' pleaded with Trump to take action.  He could have been on national media within minutes of deciding to do so.   He had the most powerful megaphone on the planet and was the top authority in government — the highest political office in our government ... the place where the buck stops.

Yet you claim it was not his job?    How does one even attempt to reason with such a distorted understanding of reality?

Even if he went on TV to tell the idiots to stop right away, how many of them would know it because they were outside or in the Capitol?  Best guess?   Zero

So your second pathetic defense for Trump is that nobody would have listened to the PotUS when he tells his supporters to cease and desist.   They will listen to him when he makes an outrageous lie that the election was rigged, that he won, that their votes were disenfranchised, that Pence was doing something wrong, etc.  but all of a sudden they will ignore his commands to leave??

... then I will condemn Trump for not doing anything within the 187 minutes

And now we have the third utterly stupid point.   You will condemn Trump for his failure, but only if you get someone to make a political concession?   Such a stark admission of pure partisan blindness.

The funny thing is, I wouldn't even consider donald a right winger.

He is a con man that would pretend to be anything to further himself (and dumb assholes follow him without question).

Like with him courting the religious right. He is in no way a religious person yet he panders to them and tells them what they want to hear and they call him God.

Same with deep conservatives. All one has to do is say what they want to hear and they jump all over it, no questions asked...

What the hell do you think would happen if he said anything?

Another stupid question.   Trump told them to march on the capitol.   If Trump told them to stop there would be an immediate group (probably the majority) that would stop as soon as they heard him.   Others will take more time.  Some might not stop no matter what.

Your claim is that Trump telling them to stop would accomplish nothing.    Magically the Trump supporters who believe everything the liar states will all suddenly wake up and ignore him?   Give us all a break with such utter nonsense.

Now, post an exact quote of Trump telling those idiots to ravage the Capitol.

What a stupid demand;  I have not claimed Trump told them to ravage the capitol.    Get a grip.  

I already know the answer. You won't because you can't.

Well of course not, Trump never said that and I never said that he did.    Think, man.   I could just as easily tell you to deliver a quote where Barr states that he never told Trump that his claims were bullshit.    You won't because you can't.   But I would never do that because you never claimed otherwise.

See how this works?   Wait for someone to make a claim before demanding they evidence same.    

... you have been fully identified as a far leftist ...

Is it official now bugsy?    Such a pathetic act of futility.

Just a long way to say I am correct.

Your belief is that Trump told those idiots to march on the Capitol. That is correct, however, you keep babbling on that Trump was the cause of these same idiots to riot inside the Capitol.

THAT is where you are seriously wrong, and where your biases start.

Now, to repeat something that has been asked of you repeatedly.

Why has Garland not filed charges against Trump? I know you think he is just taking his time, but the end game of loons on left is to get Donald at all costs. If he is indicted on anything, a loon left jury in DC will easily convict him, so why not just do it. They will not need evidence. Just the fact that he is Donald Trump would be enough for them.

BTW...your little friends on here are not helping you one bit. Might want to tell them to scurry off.

So you think my comment means:  "What the hell do you think would happen if he [Trump] said anything?  Absolutely nothing."?    Desperate much?    Hint:  you are demonstrably wrong.

Your belief is that Trump told those idiots to march on the Capitol. That is correct, however, you keep babbling on that Trump was the cause of these same idiots to riot inside the Capitol.

Well I have not actually stated that here, but the evidence does indeed indicate that Trump is culpable ... that his words encouraged his supporters to do what they did.   I do not think anyone has suggested that Trump wanted his supporters to literally break and enter the capitol, but one would have to be truly blind to not recognize that he absolutely inspired them to fight for what is right.   There is video proof of supporters stating that they engaged in their activities because that is what they thought Trump wanted.   So, in summary, regardless of Trump's intent, the evidence thus far suggests that his words were a critical component of the insurrection.

Why has Garland not filed charges against Trump?

Good grief, you really need to find a new question.    Nobody knows except Garland.   

I know you think he is just taking his time, but the end game of loons on left is to get Donald at all costs.

I do not know why.   I can only speculate.   In response to stupid questions like yours, I have speculated.   That is the best I can offer.

If he is indicted on anything, a loon left jury in DC will easily convict him, so why not just do it. They will not need evidence. Just the fact that he is Donald Trump would be enough for them.

So what are you trying to say ... that Trump really is innocent ... that Garland does not feel he has a strong case?   

BTW...your little friends on here are not helping you one bit. Might want to tell them to scurry off.

I recommend you ease back on your trolling a tad.

Look, it is well known that your mind is made up that Trump is guilty of everything under the sun...just because his name is Donald Trump. Nothing will ever change that thought process.

The problem is your little last resort to get Trump called the January 6 commission has absolutely nothing on him.

It is well known that those on the commission made up their minds, like you, that Trump was guilty, even before the hearings started. I understand they are not a trial, but by not letting dissenting voices that have come forward speak publicly, and edit their recorded testimony to make it look like they said something they did not, shows the hatred of Trump and has nothing to do with the actual reason for the failure of the security of the Capitol.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

You have already demonstrated that you are no authority on how I think and what I believe.   Cut the personal crap and try to make an argument.

That is really an incredible thing for someone to write.   

It is well known that those on the commission made up their minds, like you, that Trump was guilty, even before the hearings started.

You know bugsy, it was obvious before the hearings started that Trump engaged in a two month con-job where he lied to the world that the US electoral system was rigged and that his supporters were disenfranchised.   It was also known that Trump did not tell his supporters to go home until hours after the insurrection started and that he knew that they had broken and entered the building.   The committee is providing testimony that fleshes this out.   The question really is how you could possibly not see this.

I understand they are not a trial, but by not letting dissenting voices that have come forward speak publicly, and edit their recorded testimony to make it look like they said something they did not, shows the hatred of Trump and has nothing to do with the actual reason for the failure of the security of the Capitol.

You have the option to evaluate each under-oath testimony by high-ranking, connected Republicans who have compromised their careers by testifying.   You can factor in that there is likely other evidence that would be presented by a Trump defense team, etc.   Why would you reject these testimonies and not include them into your base of working facts?

your mind is made up that Trump is guilty of everything under the sun

So let's take all the facts that the January 6th commission has revealed and just flip the script.

What if it had been Hillary Clinton in 2016 that refused to concede and continued to claim that the election was stolen and claimed widespread voter fraud (without evidence) claiming old white racists were voting multiple times and their dead relatives votes were being counted and President Obama himself was pushing these claims and refusing to start the transition of power to Trump who was officially called the winner. Obama and Hillary then spent nearly two months with numerous press conferences challenging the election results in multiple States, filed nearly 70 lawsuits with virtually all of them being thrown out for lack of evidence. And Obama was tweeting almost daily about the huge fraud committed by Republicans and how they were trying to destroy America. Then a close advisor of Obama's got in contact with two left wing extremist militia groups and coordinated with them to come to Washington for an upcoming rally before the election certification.

Then on January 6th, 2017 President Obama and Hillary Clinton held a "Stop the Steal" rally a few blocks from the Capital where the VP Biden was about to certify the election results and Obama and his attorneys were pressuring Biden privately and publicly to reject the electors and accept fake electors giving the win to Hillary. At the rally Obama and Hillary whip the liberal crowd into a frenzy, a crowd they knew to be armed, and told them to march to the Capital to "Stop the Steal" and told them "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore,". He even tells them that he and Hillary will be joining them at the Capital to stop the certification.

Then, after the rally, the large armed crowd flying Hillary and Obama flags marches to the capital and begins attacking capital police, beating them with flag poles, seriously injuring over 150 officers, breaking into the capital building, vandalizing the building and interior, breaking through doors, chasing, with zip ties in hand, legislators who were planning to certify Trumps 2016 election victory, calling to hang Joe Biden for refusing to stop the election certification calling him a traitor even though he was Obama's VP, the insurrectionists coming within 40 ft of a fleeing VP and his secret service detail who were so fearful for their lives some called home to say their goodbyes.

During this attack President Obama was in the white house dining room watching the live footage of the chaos and violence being caused by his and Hillary's supporters and as everyone is desperately trying to get him to come out and tell the crowd to stop and leave the capital and allow the peaceful transfer of power he waits for over 3 hours apparently hoping that his supporters/insurrectionists he had incited can get the job done and stop the certification of Trumps election win. Then after 3 hours, when its clear the attempted insurrection had failed, Obama comes out in a video to tell the crowd to go home, but that he understands their pain and that they are good people that he loves them.

Is there really any conservative Republican who wouldn't be demanding both Obama and Hillary's arrest if those were the facts presented? Would any of them be questioning whether a crime had been committed? Or at the very minimum a complete and utter dereliction of duty. Would any of them not be calling that an attempted insurrection perpetrated by leftist Democrats? Would any of them be criticizing the committee investigating it claiming there should be more pro-Obama legislators invited so they can attempt to muddy the process and hinder the investigation with constant complaints and a cooked up alternate narrative that the Obama attorneys come up with to try and pin the blame on a handful of left wing extremists like ANTIFA and claim Obama had nothing to do with it and that it wasn't really his responsibility to keep the capital safe even though he was the sitting President at the time of the attack and the attackers were flying "Obama" flags as they beat capital police unconscious? Really?

If any right wing conservative has even an atom of honesty left in them they know how they would have reacted to those facts. But lets be honest, facts don't matter to some in this deeply partisan divided America, some are likely disappointed that the insurrection failed. Thankfully, facts and reality do still matter to many, even republicans like Liz Cheney, but to those who have been so convinced of their own righteousness and so convinced of their opponents evil and corruption, facts and reality aren't worth any more than the dirt on their shoes and would likely only lead to headaches in the minds of the poorly educated and easily indoctrinated right wing religious conservatives.

I think few right wing religious conservatives accept any news anymore that doesn't come from their extreme rightwing biased sources which is how they can live in such a backwards alternate universe where clearly being a hypocrite is seen as a good things as long as they see it as a win for their side of the culture war. With liberals and progressives, they have the mostly non-partisan news (AP, Reuters, BBC, PBS) and their more leftwing partisan opinion news like MSNBC and CNN. With right wing religious conservatives, they accuse the mostly non-partisan news outlets of being far left extremist 'MSM' and thus they reject pretty much anything left of Fox News which has become their 'most moderate' source of news even though it's clearly miles right of center.

If this were a teeter totter you'd have the majority of Americans (60%+) spread pretty evenly from just right of center all the way to extremist left. Then you'd have this pile of about 36-40% of Americans way out on the right well past the middle point between center and right wing extremist that have barricaded themselves away from any and all information and media that doesn't continually reinforce their right wing ideology and religious conservative universe. Anything that doesn't make them out to be the heroes and demonize their mortal enemies, the supposedly godless secularist liberals and progressives, is considered "fake news" and rejected out of hand.

Perhaps that would trigger some epiphany, but you're probably right, those that don't live in reality anymore simply aren't capable of thinking, rationalizing and reasoning for themselves, they are compelled like a mindless drone to support their Orange Hulk and can but give one brainless response to facts and reality, "Trump Smash!".
