It isn’t just about 1/6, Norm. It’s myriad flagrant, traitorous crimes committed by GOP politicos & those connected to them. Seriously — Trump & Navarro are the ONLY ones on this list to have been indicted by DOJ 3.5 YRS into Biden’s term? It’s a travesty!

Understanding post-January 6 federal prosecution decisions can be boiled down to one principle - gather the low hanging fruit.

JabbaNoBadda Norman Ornstein We need to be clear - perspective is key:

SCOTUS is gone.
DOJ is gone.
Lots of judges, 5th circuit, are gone.
Much of media, NYT, are gone.

If it's a war, the invading forces have taken much of our territory. So, let's not hope that they will see the light.

We're in deep shit

1/6 was 40 months ago. We’ve known about Hse GOP pardons for 39 months. There was public reporting about the fake electors 41 months ago. How commentators like Norman Ornstein can possibly think Garland isn’t ALREADY a catastrophic failure is beyond me.

I will say this now: if the Garland Justice Department indicts Henry Cuellar and continues to fail to indict the House Republicans who were Neck Deep in an insurrection, it is a shameful failure of the system of justice. And all of those involved.

.Norman Ornstein: Why doesn’t Garland feel it is “sensitive” to investigate & indict prominent Dem. politicos like Brian Benjamin, Andrew Gillum (whom the jury didn’t convict; so much for DOJ only bringing “foolproof” cases), Bob Menendez, & Henry Cuellar?

Did we ever get an answer to this question about whether notes about Trump’s conversations with foreign leaders were intentionally concealed, & if so, how & by whom?

This is indeed terrible, and secular Palestinians have been brutally suppressed by Hamas during the era Netanyahu propped it up to further his political calculations.

Now do Saudi Arabia.

Why are women and gay rights only remembered when it’s time to bomb people?

The ICC pushes back against mafia state intimidation. The two mafia states in question are Israel and the US.

Whoa. I somehow missed this tweet from Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ yesterday. Those are some pretty harsh words coming from the institutionalist professor. More of this please.

.Norman Ornstein: I’m assuming Merrick Garland’s DOJ hasn’t investigated (& probably won’t investigate) any of these flagrant violations of federal law because it would be “sensitive?”

•Norman Ornstein when TX prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Ken Paxton: “Corruption of justice.”
•Norm 1 month later on Garland’s failure to even INVESTIGATE Clarence Thomas: “I understand the sensitivity of going after a Supreme Court justice.”

'It would be far more worrying if the young were indifferent to the deaths of thousands of children' read Edward Luce

The Civil Rights, Anti-War, Feminist, and Gay Rights Movements were all characterized as extremist movements requiring violent crackdowns and being directed by “dangerous outside forces.”

It’s the same playbook over and over again. People need to get familiar with history. Fast.

This is quite the take from Bradley P. Moss given that 1000s of 1/6 rioters DID occupy a facility by force, assault police, smash & destroy property, refuse to vacate, & -- totally get away w/ it. By that metric, the rule of law ALREADY ended >39 months ago.

It seems to me that it could be argued that ACT-UP violated quite a bit of this advice — yet their AIDS activism is legendary for how effective it was. The truth is protest movements were, are, & always will be messy.

.Norman Ornstein: Ken Paxton is in da hizzy! Actually, in da courtroom. Don’t get excited though — not in the way you’re hoping.
