The goal is, as Liz Cheney said, to keep Donald J. Trump from ever holding government office again. Many have said that this can be accomplished by convicting him of a federal felony. But, that is not necessary from a practical view rather than a legal view.

All the DOJ/FBI has to do is to empower a grand jury to charge Trump with a federal crime. They can do this in DC, which voted 93% for Biden. Then they will move to trial. Trump's attorneys will file for summary dismissal, but that will be rejected. The trial will be scheduled and discovery will begin. But, the government will control the timely access to information, so dates will be missed and the trial date will be extended. Time will drag on while Trump in "on trial for serious crimes." A DC jury (remember the pool of potential jurors is 93% anti-Trump) will likely convict him. He will appeal to the DC circuit and lose. He will them appeal to the Supreme Court and win. But by the time this all plays out, it will be September of 2024.

States will have barred Trump from primary ballots. He will not be nominated by the GOP. He may try to run as an independent candidate but will be blocked by various states and will be blocked from any debates.

In a nutshell, he will be wrongly accused and convicted, ultimately acquitted, but locked out of any chance of running again until 2028 or 2032 when he will be 82 or 86, if he is still alive. Lawfare. Game over.

Just a continuation of the Democratic Socialists which hunt!

They are clearly terrified by the thought that Trump could run again in 2024 and in their zeal to continue the corrupt, dirty tricks, they have shot themselves in the foot.

Trumps popularity increased as did his campaign finance contributions.

What the democrats always do is put on little dog and pony shows and waste their time, resources and our taxpayer money trying to play dirty instead of using those efforts to find a really good candidate.

What if Trump doesn't run? What if he ends up the speaker of the house after the November elections crucify the democrats? Certainly, this should concern them greatly because he could then demand investigations into all the past malfeasance committed by them and some will go to prison for a very long time.

The Russia scandal has been proven false, the impeachments were failures and Trump has yet to be charged with anything while Hillary Clinton erased emails, Hunter Biden continues to be a corrupt drug addict funneling Chinese and earlier, Ukrainian funds into "The Big Guys" account and his own, Comey leaked confidential FBI information to the press and his friends and the corruption from the left continues unchecked and unreported by an equally corrupt media. Why is that?

The double standard has to be stopped, term limits of eight years and out must be imposed for all

elected public service positions through a constitutional amendment and all lifetime members of Congress or those with more than ten years tenure replaced.

True progress cannot be enjoyed when we have a stagnating group of elderly, corrupt political hacks who act like puerile children, not professionals who's main concern is their constituency.

Reporter Matt Taibbi said Garland ought to have an excellent reason for this unprecedented raid on a former President’s home. Otherwise, it will be one of the stupidest miscalculations in American history. ‘Thinking it’s the latter…

He's right. There better be a body under that bed.
