    It’s not, but you have a DOJ that is afraid of doing anything that might look ‘political’. We know enough that this whole scheme was coordinated from the very top, but they slow walked the whole thing so we’re now in the situation where Trump could get elected again and make the whole thing go away.

      Yeah, I guess that’s what I don’t get. How can stealing/destroying ballots not be considered “political”, but figuratively throwing out all of the ballots and unilaterally picking the winner be protected as “political”.

      It seems both are major crimes to democracy, whatever political party happened to commit said crimes.

      Unless there’s some grey area not explicitly addressed in law wrt electors.

      Seeing as how people have already been indicted for this shit, knowing that this is potentially coming, I don’t think they’re going to have the same kid gloves on this time. And the orange stain isn’t in power anymore. However we will see soon enough!

          DOJ acts according to the President’s priorities. Where was the party putting pressure on the Whitening House and insisting on justice being served? Should have been a top priority after Biden took office

        Might be that they prefer doubling down on the pied piper strategy pioneered by Hillary.
