Things I Won’t Write about until There Are Charges Filed

The mountain of evidence growing that indicates that Trump and those in his inner circle were aggressively attempting to subvert the electoral vote tally in Congress.

The reason is that even if incontrovertible evidence emerges that Trump and his Evil Minions attempted to subvert the elections, and the Constitution of the United States of America, thus engaging in seditious conspiracy, there is no political will to pursue this.

Joe Biden still holds the delusion that he can reach across the aisle, and Merrick Garland is so concerned about the reputation of the Justice Department that he is normalizing the aforementioned Seditious Conspiracy.

I could be wrong, my mom, for example, was sure that Republican appointed Federal Judge John Sirica would bury the Watergate investigations, and that proved not to be the case, but I just do not see a similar level of fortitude in Garland, or Biden, or any member of the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment).

As Atrios is wont to say, rather ironically, "Don't See How Donnie Two Scoops Wriggles Out Of this One."

Unfortunately, our national polity has eschewed any accountability for senior leadership for decades, at least since Gerald Ford's execrable pardon of Richard M. Nixon in 1974, further reinforced by the GHW Bush self-serving pardons at the end of his term, and Barack Obama's commitment to looking forward not back regarding crimes against humanity done by members of the US state security apparatus.

I just do not think that anything will come of this, though I would be over the moon to be wrong.
