If it were true it would exist in the real world, outside of your .ml echo chamber

Spinning the story is how they’ve gotten away with everything.

As the saying goes: You can’t produce a baby in 1 month by getting 9 women pregnant.

What are your qualifications for estimating the amount of time it takes to investigate thousands of people and manage thousands of trials while building a case strong enough to convict a president that owns judges?

I agree but just want to mention the DOJ did try to prosecute, it was Trump’s judge that delayed the case. The DOJ was moving forward on the case the whole time while managing all the cases for the other insurrectionists and investigating the thousands of people involved.

He literally built a case and tried to prosecute. Trump and Trump’s judge delayed the case. The DOJ was consistently moving forward while managing all the cases against all the insurrectionists. There were thousands of people involved in the January 6th insurrection all of which had to be investigated because going after the most powerful person in the country is not something you do half cocked.

Clearest example is choosing not to prosecute Trump to the full extent because it might’ve “set a dangerous precedent”.

This is a strawman. Trump hasn’t been prosecuted because he has used his cult to escape justice time and time again. Scapegoating democrats for Trumps actions is a crazy level of gaslighting.

Trump has indefinitely delayed his Jan. 6 criminal trial. Hundreds of his supporters haven’t been so lucky.

Trump documents trial start delayed indefinitely, judge orders

Judge in Trump’s hush money trial delays sentencing following Supreme Court immunity ruling

No it seemed like a reasonable response to someone that is demonizing a group for acting in a universal way. I wasn’t doing that though I was pointing out that OP was so context matters.

The Americans Who Yearn for Anti-American Propaganda

Right you’re trying to target Americans for something that is problematic with humans across the planet. You’re doing this to frame American behavior as worse than other human behavior.

Treaties that aim to bring peace are common throughout human history and are often broken.

Everything you described is common throughout human history across the planet.

It’s not good and I don’t condone it. It’s just sus that you are targeting a specific group of humans.

My point is the problem is that the human species will take land and resources from eachother using violence. But you’re framing that as “America bad” not humans bad.

I’m not “excusing what colonialism did to them” are you excusing what the tribes did to each other? This is a problem with humanity not a particular country.

Native American tribes fought each other over land and resources frequently before and after settlers arrived.

From the article:

Smith said he was seeking to drop the charges against the president-elect “without prejudice,” which would keep the door open for charges to be brought again in the future.

Unless you’re pretending you can see the future.

Based on what exactly? Can you provide some sources that actually state that they didn’t have enough to charge him until 2.5 years after his crimes occurred? What are you

Based on the order of events. You’re the one claiming they built their case then didn’t do anything until there was just enough time to delay. The burden of proof is on you to support that claim.

I’m arguing that delays wouldn’t have mattered if they had charged him long before he’d already campaigned and won the Republican nomination. He was able to avoid a trial precisely because they waited until this point in time to do anything. Delaying is a common tactic in cases with people like him.

If they charged him before he would still delay. You said it yourself. It doesn’t matter when they charge him. Either way he delays until after the election.

Well I can surely have a case against Trump dismissed as an armchair legal expert, so I guess that makes me equally competent to the best that the DOJ had to offer under Biden and the DNC’s leadership.

You couldn’t even read the article or support your claim that the DOJ waited before charging Trump.

Like they did here leading to him getting away with a multitude of felonies?

If they try and fail they can’t try again.

but you’re telling me the DOJ with the full resources of the federal government couldn’t manage to do the same because it’s too hard

Nope I’m explaining to you what happened. They had to build a case first, that took time. By the time they were ready, a judge delayed the trial at Trumps request.

You want to act like I’m an idiot because ‘they have a solid, air-tight plan’ as we’re here commenting on an article about how all charges against him have been dismissed.

I’m acting like you’re an idiot because the trial was dismissed after Trump delayed it long enough to get re-elected and said he would fire the prosecutor.

But your armchair internet legal analysis is that it wouldn’t be delayed if they just did it sooner. Which doesn’t make any sense.

But if you really think you’re smarter than the entire DOJ then why don’t you go stop Trump. Show them how it’s done.

I know people that didn’t vote for Harris and people that didn’t vote. According to them Cheney played no part in their decision.

I’m not referring to the people that voted for Harris

Trust the DOJ to do their job when they just dropped their charges lol, ok.

You imply the DOJ can’t be trusted to do their job because they dropped the charges. How is that not blaming the DOJ?

It’s no conspiracy theory that Russia has bot farms that push their narratives to change public opinion. Hell we have communities here on lemmy that have earned a reputation for doing that from all onlookers.

The 1/3 of the country that doesn’t vote aren’t in the middle of our two parties on any spectrum. They’re looking at the parties on a measure of integrity and trustworthiness. And found both lacking.

You claim non voters saw the felon Trump and Harris and said to themselves “both sides are the same, I’m not voting”?!

This reeks of republican talking point.
