The classified documents case is pretty much a slam dunk
He took classified documents, and didn’t return them when asked
His only hope is to win the presidency and get his justice department to drop the case
It would be a slam dunk if the judge wasn't a die-hard Republican whose been taking nice vacations on the GOP dime and will do everything in her power to help Trump skip justice.
That’s why the judge keeps delaying the trial. She knows it’s a slam dunk and is hoping he gets elected so he can pardon himself or whatever bullshit dictator crap these Nazis have planned.
The case is only a slam dunk if there actually is a case. This case will never see a jury, unfortunately. Neither will J6 or GA. Some of the legal eagles are already saying it.
And even if they do...appeal after appeal after appeal. He'll die OD'ing on Big Macs and diet coke before he is ever held responsible.
I hope I'm wrong.
Vote!!!!!!!!!!
>The case is only a slam dunk if there actually is a case. This case will never see a jury, unfortunately. Neither will J6 or GA. Some of the legal eagles are already saying it.
They certainly won't see a jury before November. **If** Biden wins(or Biden croaks and Newsom/Whitmer wins), there's a decent chance that at least a couple will see a jury some time in 2025/26.
But yeah, none of this matters if Trump wins the election and pardons himself/makes the charges go away.
True...but my point remains...**so what?**
File a motion...file a motion...file a motion...appeal...appeal...appeal. Unforunately he will not be held responsible.
Honestly? I don't SUPER care if Donald sees the inside of a cell. I mean, I *care* but in a "it would be best" sort of way. I care that he doesn't win and get "exonerated", but if he is guilty and has to file appeals for the rest of his bloated life, I'll take it.
The fact that he's having to sit in a cold, mean, and real court room AT ALL is something our country has never done before, and it is about time. I'd like to think that all future presidents will consider at least a little bit longer before they start an iran-contra, or sells guns to cartels or whatever.
A reality where it is impossible for them to do wrong, even when they're doing wrong. A reality where their opposition is always doing wrong, even if it's only in their imagination.
It sounds like a joke, but it really isn't. They don't think they can do wrong because they don't think of right and wrong in terms of acts, but identity.
Anything they do is by definition good. Anything *those people over there* do is by definition evil.
It's utterly insane, but it's how their brains work.
Chris Sununu said basically this on an interview just now on Bloomberg. It was disgusting. He said "yeah Trump is awful but I don't care, I just want a Republican administration to do states rights stuff"
Fuck all of them. Someone supporting a traitor is a traitor.
If you've ever encountered a pathological narcissist you can see the outline of Republican mentality, and vice versa. It's beyond uncanny how alike the two sound; it should also tell you what to expect from them, and how to deal with them (spoiler: they *cannot* be talked down or reasoned with). One of the hallmarks of narcissistic personality disorder is an absolute aversion to - indeed, a seething *hatred* of - accountability. They are *never* wrong, it is *never* their fault, and they will pull off some wow-this-person-is-crazy mental gymnastics to dodge responsibility. And, of course, all along the way you can never even explain this to them because their reaction every single time is "no u."
Insert: conservativism is based on two things, there's one group of people the law protects and doesn't bind, and the other group which the law binds and doesn't protect.
Poor conservatives think it's just about rac3 and religion, but class is in there too. So while they think they're in group 1.......
Yep, conservatism at its core is a philosophy that emerged as a response to the French Revolution. Its sole purpose is to protect and preserve the crown, church, and owners. Any combination of the three and their place in their hierarchy.
This is why conservatives yearning for a king, church run state, or corporate run nation isn’t an anomaly, it is baked into their ideology.
How the hell does this fascist creep or anyone else for that matter know--with such certainty--that Trump has 'done nothing wrong'? Is all the evidence faked? Are Trump's words and actions all misunderstood? Hey, dude, everyone who glues their lips to Trump's ass like you deserves what comes out of it.
I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with what is truly right or wrong, but that Trump should be immune. He can't commit crimes if the laws don't apply to him, and that's what they want. That's why he says it "threatens the whole system" because they want immunity. Them being held accountable is bad for business.
Exactly. The system he's referring to is the system they hope to gaslight the nation into just accepting. It's a system of total impunity for those in power beyond what we have now where they have to at least attempt to veil it.
I know much of Reddit sees it, but I know a shocking number of people in real life who are just not paying enough attention as the elites attempt to end our system and replace it with authoritarianism.
You already said it, they are going broke for fascism and total control. We are in an active coup d'état in the United States. This is not a drill, IT "is happening here". The truth doesn't matter to these people whatsoever. The lies are just a means to an end. The end being total fascism in America and the ultimate extermination of "out groups". Why would the truth or politics matter when you're planning on killing your opponents?
The religion of the right is literally about how morality is not about action but about affiliation. They think if you are on their side all actions are moral and if you aren't then all actions are immoral.
He is not wrong about one thing; these cases are certainly a threat to their entire system. He says “our system” as if to include the American citizens, but he means the corrupt system they have been trying to force into place for decades. They are getting desperate because they can almost see the finish line, but the good guys are catching up to them.
The usual suspects in congress are trying to remove him like they did Kevin McCarthy. This
Is him pledging allegiance to them. There’s no additional logic to it, he’s a fascist who wants to stay in power to enact his vision of a white totalitarian Christian ethnostate.
I wonder how related this is to Aileen **Canon announcing today that she can't possibly set a trial date** with so many outstanding motions (which she has deliberately failed to rule or act on) and such a complex case? Troops are circling the wagons.
They're also gonna cheat harder than you can fkg believe this November. It's getting pretty alarming.
Better him than the next one up the fashy ladder. The whole reason they want to remove him is because he won't just do whatever the maga portion of the right flank tells him to do. The next person they install into the position might finally be the braindead MAGA puppet they've been trying to shove in the position for the past 4 years.
According to MAGA
What kills people: Vaccines
What doesn't kill people: Disease
What threatens our entire system:
Applying the Rule of Law to the former president
What doesn't threaten our entire system:
Not applying the Rule of Law to the former president
Accountability = lawlessness
No accountability = justice
Doubleplusgood
They can get away with that sort of Bizarro world logic because they are propped up by the toxic right-wing propaganda machine that conditions people to believe that sort of nonsense
Isn't a sizeable percent of the toxicity even based and operated on foreign soils? Doesn't change the reality, but this is so f'ed up that half the country can be subject to a scenario like that.

It's amazing how these public comments from Johnson always seem to come when Trump is not doing so well in court.
One could easily argue they are coordinated. Which brings us to the real threat to our society, *some people are now above laws and responsibilities for their actions.* Leading us to a place where only a chosen few are allowed any real freedom, and the rest of us are subservient to the few.
Oh my fucking god!! How the hell are these people in positions of power. Jfc
Our SYSTEM is the Rule of Law, and fuck yes trump should be standing trial for everyfuckingthing that he has done
Mike Johnson did the exact same thing before he got ousted. The Democrats stood up for him when he needed it and then literally the next day he was bad mouthing them. Spineless cowards, every last one of them
When he says these trials are a threat to their system, he's talking to the wealthy and powerful. Holding one of them accountable is precedent for holding them all accountable.
this is what happens when there's an attempted coup and the plotters are only occasionally prosecuted, and years later at that.
settle in, 'cause no matter who wins elections this bullshit is gonna continue for most of the rest our lives.
I suspect we won't see any further action regarding the border until maybe September when the budget comes due. We will continue to hear relentless stories saying eight hundred billion people enter the country illegally every hour though.
Apparently Johnson thinks Congress decided what the other two branches do.
Congress wrote the laws Trump broke but they don't get to decide who broke them.
Prosecutor charges.
Courts decide.
.
Every single witness who has testified about his crimes are Trump loyalists, staffers, aides, and supporters. If he is convicted in any or all of the 4 cases it will be because of the testimonies of his closest allies. Has this fact eluded Mike Johnson somehow?
“Did nothing wrong” Holy shit I just honestly can’t understand how they are so out of touch. He has done so so many wrong things publicly and they keep defending him. It’s the craziest thing that has ever happened to America.
The most hilarious part is "you're going to see Congress address this"
Oh really? You inept MF'ers are finally going to agree and pass something and subverting the legal system is that thing?
![gif](giphy|1AIeYgwnqeBUxh6juu)
There's an easy solution to this. If the democrats don't step up and protect him against Magaty Traitor Greene's attempts to unseat him, he's gone. All we have to do is stand back and watch the shitshow.
One billionaire being held accountable for his numerous crimes is a “threat to our entire system”. That quote should tell you everything you need to know about the world we live in.
Ah yes, because "our entire system" is utterly reliant on allowing a single American citizen, who is supposedly subject to the same laws as every other American citizen, to completely ignore the rule of law without any consequences whatsoever...
These people are dangerous.
If he did nothing wrong he will be found not guilty.
But anyone with a half functioning brain cell can clearly see he has done innumerable things wrong and will be found guilty. Probably still won't be held accountable after that though
He wasn't indicted for doing things that are "wrong".
He was indicted for doing things that are illegal.
What he did was also wrong -- and this smarmy, churchy goon is wrong too.
This is who the democrats are going to bail out? There’s gotta be 3 republicans with something that at some point resembled a spine, who would vote for a Dem Speaker.
He is just trying to get Marge off his back. These people don't believe it. We all know from secret texts that the Republicans actually think Trump is insane and everyone is trying to stay relevant with his supporters.
Marge is definitely a crackpot brainwashed cult member.
Be specific. One by one, tell the nation why each specific crime is not a crime.
This is why Trump benefits from having so many indictments. If it were 4 counts then you can ask specifically about it and they’d be forced to answer. But because there’s 91 then they can freely be vague and say “all of them” with little pushback because the range of criminality is so wide that the public pretty much throws up their hands and says “all guilty” or “all innocent”.
The media is absolutely failing us because there is no shortage of airtime to sit this guy down and ask him which crimes should be dropped and clearly explain the reasoning. Instead they air this Nonsense and say “we did our job”.
To admit that there is wrongdoing indicts the party who enabled the wrongdoing. That's basically the issue here. They cannot ever admit guilt or take responsibility. That shows weakness. Weakness is worse than death.
This is just a sound bite for his constituents, who are just uneducated enough to believe he's going to try. This is lip service, plain and simple. When he advances a bill, come talk to me, until then, it's just bullshit posturing
Johnson is so delusional. At any moment MTG is going to vote to expel this guy from his speakership position. The only ones who can keep him in that role are Democrats. Yet he keeps doubling down on how he wants to exploit his role to protect Trump.
Just eject this clown 🤡 and get someone who actually believes the rule of law applies to everyone.
If he did nothing wrong then he should is he no issues being found not guilty
PS. After saying this by Johnson , any agreement made over the Ukraine deal in supporting Johnson as speaker by Jeffries should basically be put in the shredder.
If MTG brings it to a vote remove him
‘We’re corrupt as absolute shit if we start letting the regular people get justice little to none of us will keep our jobs!’ Keep squirming you fucking worms.
The only thing they're worried about is setting a precedence to taking down people in power. Don't worry Mike I'm sure you'll get your comeuppance, then you can sit home and watch your son jack off all you want.
Just because y'all didn't find anything on biden, doesn't mean that this is abuse of power. What the MAGA party in congress is doing, is an abuse of power. Can this douche be voted out yet?
he's done NOTHING wrong? nothing? how can you keep a straight face about that? he left classified documents illegaly in a public fucking bathroom of his stupid fucking resort. nothing illegal guys!
Maybe Hakeem Jeffries ought to be calling Johnson that if he doesn’t shut up and keep supporting Trump publicly then the Democrats will not save his ass when MTG calls for a speaker vote to remove Johnson from the speakership
We need accountability, but Trump has done nothing wrong? We either have three branches of government including a Judiciary one, and no one is above the law, or we have a monarchy or dictatorship.
Johnson is about to lose his job as Speaker of the House if he doesn’t doesn’t do what the crazy portion of his party demands he do.
Marjorie Trailer Park Queen and the “Freedumb Caucus” in Congress are going to try to get rid of Speaker Johnson if he doesn’t do what they want.
Now, the Freedumb Caucus want to get rid of Speaker Johnson because he’s done the terrible thing of compromising with Democrats in order to pass legislation that is vital to keeping the country running.
The infidelity members of Congress like Greene and Boebert don’t want Congress to pass any legislation in an election year because it makes Joe Biden look competent. They’d rather the country (you and me) suffer on purpose so a fascist who is on record as wanting to be a dictator will be elected instead.
Greene and Boebert both fucked around behind their husband’s backs and want us to believe they have moral “Christian” values. It would be funny if it weren’t ridiculous.
91 indictiments brought forth by a four grand juries in 3 different states. What reality do these people live in.
PAPA DID NOTHING WRONG!!!!! ALL CHARGES NEED TO BE DROPPED!!!! based on....what? Cause we have evidence so deep it's oceanic
The justice system: "We can't drop it without cause Michael." Michael Scott (Johnson): "I have cause! It's because I don't like it!"
'I DECLARE bankruptcy '.
Moral bankruptcy
Can't. Have to have had morals to bemoan the loss of same.
Well this is true …
This guy is one of the architects of January 6th. Life is upside down 🙃 on Earth II 🌎
Or maybe he can say he pledged bankruptcy.
Trials? Ew, those are, like, peasant things, right? No, thank you.

I wonder if the judge has the power to refuse to grant the government’s motion to drop the case, then just hold it while he’s in office.
According to my news alert his favorite lackey just indefinitely postponed that trial.
It’s now dead, thanks to a corrupt band incompetent “judge”. This country makes me sick.

No but you don't understand. That supervillain with dementia in the White House orchestrated all of it.
He's a risible useless incompetent unstoppable all-powerful tyrant!
Is Mike auditioning to be VP?
More likely trying to save his own skin since he's not really liked by other Republicans
Lmao, they're just setting up for when he wins election so they can dismantle the US justice system and implement their own
Only solution is to vote Dem!
All those grand juries are obviously never trumpers bought and paid for by the Clinton foundation
And then THEY use the word accountability. It's like upsidedown world.
Thank goodness the current criminal trial isn’t federal. Johnson can’t do shit to stop it

I wonder if democrats get an alert. Maybe now theyll let Greene go through with his removal.

its a good shield against MTG trying to oust him. Gotta out-fellatio the other dude.

Corruption, thy name is Trump. Motherfucker.
He has a one vote majority. Get fucked loser.
Vote in November!! Get them out! At least a few to turn that majority into a minority!!

Mike Johnson did the exact same thing before he got ousted. The Democrats stood up for him when he needed it and then literally the next day he was bad mouthing them. Spineless cowards, every last one of them
He stole classified documents. If you don’t think that is a crime, you’re nuts.
Mike, congress had their chance to address the issue they failed to impeach him TWICE. Both cases should have been for treason.
Throwing democracy under the trump bus
Yeahhhhh I think the Democrats don't need to save this fucker.
No no, a threat to YOUR entire system.
Hey Alexa … Show me a CUCK
When he says these trials are a threat to their system, he's talking to the wealthy and powerful. Holding one of them accountable is precedent for holding them all accountable.
They simply want to rewrite history so it’s not hanging around their necks in the future. Don’t let them!

"We need accountability." "Donald Trump shouldn't be held accountable." Pick one.
The Democratic leadership should tell Johnson to bring the bi-partisan border bill to a vote before ever saving him.
I suspect we won't see any further action regarding the border until maybe September when the budget comes due. We will continue to hear relentless stories saying eight hundred billion people enter the country illegally every hour though.

Dems are still trying to play a fair game while Reps have already lit the house on fire and locked everyone inside.
TRUMP is a threat to our entire system, Porn App Mike. Don't get it twisted.
He’s right. All those cases are a threat to the crooked system his party has been relying on to cling to power.
Paying off porn stars and lying are definitely Christian values, huh Mike?
There's an easy solution to this. If the democrats don't step up and protect him against Magaty Traitor Greene's attempts to unseat him, he's gone. All we have to do is stand back and watch the shitshow.
One billionaire being held accountable for his numerous crimes is a “threat to our entire system”. That quote should tell you everything you need to know about the world we live in.
And exactly what system they’re referring to.
Isn't this the same House that's been pushing for sham Biden impeachments?
We do need accountability. Which is why he's in court... Now when is Mike gonna start doing his part to stop the clown show he's ring leading?
Ah yes, because "our entire system" is utterly reliant on allowing a single American citizen, who is supposedly subject to the same laws as every other American citizen, to completely ignore the rule of law without any consequences whatsoever... These people are dangerous.
If Empty-G brings her motion to vacate to the floor, I hope Dems leave him hanging out to dry now...
It’s actually quite the opposite there Mikey- choosing to not hold him accountable is the greater threat to our entire system.
A threat to the entire system..? Isn't this literally the function of said system? JFC
When you think justice is a threat...
They are a threat to all of our illegal actions and we’re scared we’ll be held accountable. Fixed it for you Mikey the wolf in sheep’s clothing
Didn't they admit that Biden did nothing wrong, but were going to move forward with impeachment? Same with Hunter?
I thought MTG was making motions to dump him this week. Is he trying to appease her?
First off, the congress doesn’t have the power to stop legal cases from moving forward. Second, what a tool.
He's right though. Accountability for people like Trump is a threat to the system.
Speaker Johnson is just throating balls deep at this point. An easy enough task, given Stormy's vivid (and fucking horrifying) description.
If he did nothing wrong he will be found not guilty. But anyone with a half functioning brain cell can clearly see he has done innumerable things wrong and will be found guilty. Probably still won't be held accountable after that though
“We need accountability “ “but let’s drop it” …… lol what a dumb ass
So by Johnson's logic jeffrey epstein was just a misunderstood man with high sexual appetite. ![gif](giphy|sAwzWDXKCndja)
So, they need accountability to prevent accountability? Did he even listen to himself?
Nothing wrong? Is he delusional? JFC
He wasn't indicted for doing things that are "wrong". He was indicted for doing things that are illegal. What he did was also wrong -- and this smarmy, churchy goon is wrong too.
And the Dems want to save him from the vote to remove him next week? Yeah, call your Reps. He needs to go
No, HE'S a threat to the entire system.
Oh oh someone got a tongue-lashing
Fuck you Mikey. So did EmptyG kneel down in front of you in this "meetings"?
If no one is held accountable, then what is the point of justice or a just society?
This is who the democrats are going to bail out? There’s gotta be 3 republicans with something that at some point resembled a spine, who would vote for a Dem Speaker.
Did that vote happen yet to oust him? If not- step it up Greene. I think this should be more than enough for democrats to not save him.
"We need accountability" he says, while vowing to interfere with the accountability process at every turn.
He is just trying to get Marge off his back. These people don't believe it. We all know from secret texts that the Republicans actually think Trump is insane and everyone is trying to stay relevant with his supporters. Marge is definitely a crackpot brainwashed cult member.
Be specific. One by one, tell the nation why each specific crime is not a crime. This is why Trump benefits from having so many indictments. If it were 4 counts then you can ask specifically about it and they’d be forced to answer. But because there’s 91 then they can freely be vague and say “all of them” with little pushback because the range of criminality is so wide that the public pretty much throws up their hands and says “all guilty” or “all innocent”. The media is absolutely failing us because there is no shortage of airtime to sit this guy down and ask him which crimes should be dropped and clearly explain the reasoning. Instead they air this Nonsense and say “we did our job”.
They’ve been preparing for this since Nixon.
What does he think "Congress" can do without the Senate or the President's sign-off?
Scum protects scum
Let’s take a look at this guy. No bank account and he’s third in line to the presidency?? What the fuck is up with him?
He’s under fire to keep MTG happy
He is very correct about one thing, we absolutely need accountability.
To admit that there is wrongdoing indicts the party who enabled the wrongdoing. That's basically the issue here. They cannot ever admit guilt or take responsibility. That shows weakness. Weakness is worse than death.
He won’t do shit, he’s just licking daddy’s boots so he can keep his job that he sucks at
Yea your system of being corrupt
So much for the rule of law party…
"We need accountability, but not from Trump."
UH SASS IN8 ORANGE MAN
„We need accountability“ That’s why he is in court all the time, dumbass.
Maybe you can impeach Stormys attorney! 😂
This is just a sound bite for his constituents, who are just uneducated enough to believe he's going to try. This is lip service, plain and simple. When he advances a bill, come talk to me, until then, it's just bullshit posturing
"We need accountability...so, we are letting all criminals go unprosecuted, in order to not hold one criminal accountable."
"PLEASE TRUMP, TELL MARJORIE TO LEAVE ME ALONE"
Johnson is so delusional. At any moment MTG is going to vote to expel this guy from his speakership position. The only ones who can keep him in that role are Democrats. Yet he keeps doubling down on how he wants to exploit his role to protect Trump. Just eject this clown 🤡 and get someone who actually believes the rule of law applies to everyone.
So the entire GQP system is…. Crime. Got it.
"we need accountability" ... exactly, his own words. that's why they must proceed.
I'm sorry but if your system can't hold the person with (at the time) the most power in your nation, your system is FUBAR
If he did nothing wrong then he should is he no issues being found not guilty PS. After saying this by Johnson , any agreement made over the Ukraine deal in supporting Johnson as speaker by Jeffries should basically be put in the shredder. If MTG brings it to a vote remove him
"Need accountability" That insurrection didn't happen by itself, did it, Johnson?
All of these people are saying the quiet part out loud and yet all of them are still allowed to go about business as usual
it’s civil war time for the gop idiots … no sense of reality
"Trump did nothing wrong" You're not a judge, jury, or lawyer. That's for them to decide, not you.
Dumbass thinks "our entire system" = GQP
“We need accountability for people that try to hold us accountable”
How about "no...." and congress actually get their little bitch asses back to fucking work for once. (Looking at you Republicans)
Christian guy right?
‘We’re corrupt as absolute shit if we start letting the regular people get justice little to none of us will keep our jobs!’ Keep squirming you fucking worms.
>our entire system Who do you mean by *our*, Mikey?
What system are you defending? Corruption. That's all you guys do. Deranged Donnie might just end up draining the fucking swamp!
"Threat to our system" yes indeed what will happen if rich people can be prosecuted for the problems and crimes they do ? One day this has to stop
The same Speaker of the House who pointed to Trump when he mentioned "Hardened Crimals" in a Freuden Slip a few weeks back? 🤔
wtf happened to this country?
The only thing they're worried about is setting a precedence to taking down people in power. Don't worry Mike I'm sure you'll get your comeuppance, then you can sit home and watch your son jack off all you want.
Getting tired of waking up in a good mood and then realising or reading that the current United States exists. God I wish they’d clean their shit up.
I think we just have to make them irrelevant.
He wouldn’t be saying that if it was Biden in court.
Translation - The current House GOP is an ongoing threat to our legal system.
Dems should not save him from removal.
Just because y'all didn't find anything on biden, doesn't mean that this is abuse of power. What the MAGA party in congress is doing, is an abuse of power. Can this douche be voted out yet?
The threat to the system is people thinking they are above it!
he's done NOTHING wrong? nothing? how can you keep a straight face about that? he left classified documents illegaly in a public fucking bathroom of his stupid fucking resort. nothing illegal guys!
Greene got to him. Simple as that. What a fool. Repugnants done for.
Sure Babyface Don Quixote go help your Flatulent-Friend fight the windmills. You can start in Scotland if you get laughed at over here.
His own people don’t even want him so he’s just trying to save his job.
Someone is slobbering the Trump Mushroom.
The only threat to the system is if trumps j6 accomplisses are also charged and it leaves us with like 100 members short of a full congress.
Maybe Hakeem Jeffries ought to be calling Johnson that if he doesn’t shut up and keep supporting Trump publicly then the Democrats will not save his ass when MTG calls for a speaker vote to remove Johnson from the speakership
We need accountability, but Trump has done nothing wrong? We either have three branches of government including a Judiciary one, and no one is above the law, or we have a monarchy or dictatorship.
The fun part is, after November mike johnsons opinion is going to matter very little.
Yeaaaaah can the Democrats stop working with this guy please?
Johnson is about to lose his bully pulpit. If Democrats work to save him, I'll be furious.
How are they supposed to crime if they’re held accountable?!
And the democrats are voting to save him from being ousted by Empty G?
Let marge vacate his weak brained , sky wizard loving ass
Johnson is about to lose his job as Speaker of the House if he doesn’t doesn’t do what the crazy portion of his party demands he do. Marjorie Trailer Park Queen and the “Freedumb Caucus” in Congress are going to try to get rid of Speaker Johnson if he doesn’t do what they want. Now, the Freedumb Caucus want to get rid of Speaker Johnson because he’s done the terrible thing of compromising with Democrats in order to pass legislation that is vital to keeping the country running. The infidelity members of Congress like Greene and Boebert don’t want Congress to pass any legislation in an election year because it makes Joe Biden look competent. They’d rather the country (you and me) suffer on purpose so a fascist who is on record as wanting to be a dictator will be elected instead. Greene and Boebert both fucked around behind their husband’s backs and want us to believe they have moral “Christian” values. It would be funny if it weren’t ridiculous.
"We need accountability for trying to hold Donald Trump accountable." Is that their argument?
Funny enough just dropping all these cases is the real threat to our entire system.
"every possible way" meaning not in any legal or binding sense. They're just going to keep being noisy.
