Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They need to grow a spine and not provide the briefs on the grounds of pending legislation against Trump
No, they need to give him a Canary trap so they know exactly how the information is getting leaked. It is important to understand the way these back channels are working so we can catch the intermediaries as well.
I would be super surprised if this was not already done. The problem that once that gets to the prosecutor it fucking dies. Merrick Garland and the DOJ are compromised or spineless if you look at their track record.
I would have erred towards spineless until they called Biden old and forgetful in a fucking commentary to a case because why the fuck not, and went after Hunter Biden but could not find shit on anyone in the Trump family, because those guys are squeaky clean.
Right now the insurrectionist have:
The supreme court + key parts of the federal courts
DOJ support
US post
Local governments
Parts of FBI
THE WHOLE OF THE GOP and all the billions that go with it.
They are going for round 2 with the lessons learnt from round 1.
They are going for the win.
They're going to add most every federal government department to the list by the end of the next GOP presidency, plus a bunch more judges. They'll gut the EPA, and do whatever they can get away with -- possibly that will include everything if SCOTUS declares the president immune from all prosecution.
Doing that is kind of an obvious final warning sign that the GOP are about to establish the president as a putin-style dictator for life with bullshit sham elections. Every step clears the way for jailing those they don't like and setting up their final solution.
It's not like he reads the damn things anyway. They should just give him a picture book with "TRUMP" in big letters on every page to color in.
Imagine Putin's rage when Trump brings him an IHOP kid's menu and a box of crayons
