DOJ moving to wind down Trump criminal cases before he takes office

The step complies with long-standing Justice Department policy that a sitting president can't be prosecuted, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News.

Justice Department officials have been evaluating how to wind down the two federal criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office to comply with long-standing department policy that a sitting president can’t be prosecuted, two people familiar with the matter tell NBC News.

Yeah sure...you'll need some new material for this term. The doom/gloom tactics didn't work. Lawfare didn't work. The race card didn't work.
Let him govern and judge him by his accomplishments and failures and not by words you just don't like to hear and someone's appearance you can't tolerate.
As a Canadian, I will have a ring-side seat to what is going to happen. It will be quite interesting to see what happens after his inauguration. I'm waiting to see him end the wars in Ukraine and Gaze as of January 22....He did say 24 hours. I guess he never specified which 24 hours...

You have to look at this as a negotiating stance. He said so as much, but it doesn't help to emphasize that to your problematic trade counterparts.

Does it mean the USMCA gets thrown out? Or does it just mean he's going to hold Mexico to the agreement?
We'll see. And, to be honest, I only really care about the impact his administration will have on Canada...

'' but lacks lacked the ability to get them through congress.''

the republicans have the oval office, house and senate
you are not keeping up to speed with events

understandable as you likely put your underwear on backwards, combed your teeth and scrubbed your hair with your toothbrush this morning

your discombobulation must be painful knowing your loonie left fantasy has been crushed in the USA and will soon be obliterated in Canada
that's the cost of blindly following a failed ideology
Didn't he have the house and senate in 2017? I feel like he did. And, [checking notes] couldn't do fuck all with that. No repeal of Obamacare, no border wall, no infrastructure bill. Will it be different this time? Sure, maybe. I mean, the last congress did absolutely fuck all except eat its own, but they are more ideologically aligned.

But, we'll see how it all turns out. I suspect there are going to be many new members of the leopard ate my face party in the coming year. It will be interesting to see Trump claim credit for the infrastructure bill Biden passed, or the strong economy. I guess we'll see what is a failed ideology.

Passing legislation and spending money isn't all there is to the Federal government. It should be challenging though. (In the case of Trudeau, hire a mess of people at the Federal level.) I look for the Administration to run the federal bureaucracy (that's what it is) as best they can. This includes the Federal regulatory bodies. The Executive runs our foreign policy which as the American President gets him involved in almost every global situation.

The strong U.S. economy is cyclical. I suspect we will have a recession next year. It might be fortuitous for Trump to have the inevitable recession early in his term. If the Liberals are thrown out of power, your successor government will benefit as well from the economic cycle. That's just the way the ball bounces.

@MSNBC
is such a chicken shit that she locked her posts. This is what her network and those she surrounds herself with do … they spew all kinds of crap and refuse to deal with the blowback and actual truth because they might melt or something. Joy Ann Reid is a racist race-baiter, who has zero integrity and doesn’t deserve to be on a media network. Prove me wrong on any of my opinions and observations.

Courts, laws…..they exist because of and for the benefit of people.

What you’re advocating for looks a lot like fascism.
You think we should hold popularity contests to see if people are guilty of fraud and rape?
Do you think rapists should be allowed to be gynochologists?

All jobs have requirements.
Disallowing rapists and convicted felons from holding seats of power is like demanding that you don't need a medical degree to be a doctor.

you feel like he did?
o boy that is factual

I guess we'll see what is a failed ideology.
no guessing needed about what is a failed ideology
one only needs to take stock of the mess that is Canada now vs 10 years ago to know what is a failed ideology
your ideology !
