Trump conspired to defraud the United States. The biggest obstacle is always criminal intent/state of mind.

The January 6th hearings have offered compelling evidence that Trump clearly knew his Big Lie nonsense was in fact a Big Lie. He took way too many steps thereafter to stop the certification of the electoral count (to include meddling in state counts in GA and AZ) and chose not to marshal resources to quell the mob storming the Capitol on January 6th. The DOJ will need 5-7 solid witnesses and co-conspirators -- who were in the loop. The DOJ will also unimpeachable corroboration to overcome defense attacks against those testifying witnesses.

It is an unprecedented fact pattern. Unprecedented occurrence.

We ought not underestimate Garland's tenacity and determination if, I say again if, the evidence to prove the conspiracy is jumping off the plate.

The American Dream belongs to all of us. — Kamala Harris

- DOJ will require overwhelming and compelling evidence to indict a former President. - conorlarkin - 8:45am 7/27/22
  - That's a real problem when there is no evidence. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:30am 7/27/22

      - Agree. And what you just described is a pretty high bar to obtain a conviction. - Stark Raving Dad - 10:39am 7/27/22
        The charging decision requires a very high bar, knowing the nation will be dragged through it. - conorlarkin - 10:59am 7/27/22
        Agree with everything you said. - Stark Raving Dad - 12:30pm 7/27/22
        
        Yet you dragged the nation through your primetime, one-sided circus. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 11:32am 7/27/22
        He's typical lace curtain irish, putting on a facade - ColeyO - 3:07pm 7/27/22
        He is an utter hypocrite who lives in a bubble and defends criminals while condemning accused. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 4:06pm 7/27/22
        
        Folks here give Connor a lot of crap. But I think of all the liberal contributors... - Stark Raving Dad - 12:38pm 7/27/22

        He certainly kicks with his left foot as the Irish say. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 1:18pm 7/27/22
    - Not so sure about the "highly paid" description of the defense team. - Iggle - 9:59am 7/27/22
      - Perhaps. But it could be the case of a lifetime. Someone will step up. - Stark Raving Dad - 10:19am 7/27/22
        Bingo! And trial lawyers are consummate narcissists looking for public approval. [NT] - Curly1918 - 11:44am 7/27/22
- Glad we got today's Trump post out of the way. [NT] - Cole - 8:44am 7/27/22
  - I agree. I look forward to focusing on issues rather than his personality impairment. [NT] - Curly1918 - 9:04am 7/27/22
    - Curly, you're the one who focusses on his personality. You feed the beast and then complain about it - Cole - 9:08am 7/27/22
      - His personality is the reason he became President and it enflames the other side AND independents! - Curly1918 - 9:10am 7/27/22
  - This won’t be the only one, trust me. The usual suspect will be here shortly to add to the drama. - TampaIrish - 8:50am 7/27/22
    - Anything to distract attention from their dementia-addled President. [NT] [LINK] - Cole - 9:00am 7/27/22
      - Biden is far worse than Trump... but will be gone very soon. - Curly1918 - 9:14am 7/27/22
        Biden is worst then Trump? This is where you lost your d**n mind! [NT] - Quest4twelve - 10:03am 7/27/22
        Oh come on, have some common sense. [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:00pm 7/27/22
        
        I agreed with most of Trump's policies and virtually none of Biden's handlers. - Curly1918 - 10:26am 7/27/22
        
        You're not wrong here Curls but replacing him can be much worse. You really think world leader will - TampaIrish - 9:19am 7/27/22
        We are going to have to cross our fingers the next couple years no matter what. - Curly1918 - 9:27am 7/27/22
- Because he didn’t do anything wrong. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 8:30am 7/27/22
