Stacey Abrams and co should have fundraisers coming up soon (if they aren’t already up), keep an eye out for those and throw a few $$ her way if you’re so inclined/able.

In a few months, we'll be able to wake up, check the news, and not dread whatever embarrassment the president tweeted out during a 3 AM constipation session.

The most powerful tool Joe Biden will have is the Justice Department and it is the tool I fear he is least willing to use for good.

If he just tells Kamala to take the DoJ and go ham on the entire Trump extended network of criminals for 4 years, it'll be a strong step towards attoning for her past actions as a prosecutor.

My personal bet is that they give AG to Doug Jones, leave him completely alone for any prosecution-level offenses, then give Kamala the record-hunting remit. Have Kamala be the internal cop for all the paperwork and poo poo Donnie's trying to hide or stuff he's kept from Congress.

If there are crimes committed, good. Is there an american president from the last half century who shouldn't be in prison? Carter and Obama might have avoided committing US felonies, but the ICC would be warranted in taking a crack at them. The rest of the should be rotting in US prisons.

This is my new big fear, that Biden is gonna pull a Gerry Ford. Is this a thing to bug my congress critters about? How does a person let the President-elect know that this is a lovely idea?

Sad to say I doubt it's possible to be POTUS in these stupid days without committing an ICC-worthy crime somehow even if it's only by omission. Trump OTOH has committed a Sears catalog worth of crimes according to the US of A's own laws. Don't compare the two, it helps nothing.

I don't believe in anything, I'm just here for the violence.
I would much rather not establish the extremely dangerous precedent of new regimes imprisoning the previous regime.

The right play is for the SDNY to cooperate with New York State on criminal prosecutions at the state level.

It's the best of both worlds.

Bush 2, Clinton, Bush 1, Reagan, and Nixon all committed plenty of verifiable US crimes. Trump's setting the bar to a new standard but that shouldn't be a reason to dismiss the past.

Let NY go after him. He’s committed enough crimes before he was President. Biden doesn’t need to go after him directly, just open doors and files to cooperate with their investigations. NY can do the heavy lifting and the President Elect can say “states rights.”

I just wanna make sure his passport is seized as soon as he leaves office. If he tries fleeing, send fighters to intercept it, just like Archio..Italy shipjacking and murder back in the 1980s.

Yeah this is kinda what I feel. I'd love for the feds to go after him with everything and in a better world they would but I feel this is the smarter play in this political climate

Supporting the mujahedeen during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. I won't argue it was the wrong thing to do with the information available at the time, but there's no question the US was coloring outside the lines to put weapons into the hands of non-state actors who resulted in plenty of civilian deaths.

Not to mention all the day to day illegal nonsense the CIA was pulling off in that era.
