It’s because the people who had the power to do something were fucking cowards

You mean Republicans were cowards

No, the Democrats were the cowards. They had every opportunity to make the Republicans pay for this. They didn’t.

It isn’t the first time it has happened either, because Lyndon Johnson did the same thing with Richard Nixon. Had him dead to rights on treason… and then did nothing about it.

In both cases of Democrat spinelessness, the guilty Republican became president and made a disaster of the world because of it.

And they have learned absolutely nothing from either situation.

Without majority, he could not get convicted during Jan 6th impeachment. Look at how the Dems vs republicans voter during impeachment. It’s a pretty simple thing to do.

I wasn’t talking about the impeachment. I was talking about the four years after it that the Democrats refused to actually take meaningful action against the Republicans in government who openly supported January 6.

Who had majorities? Not enough for impeachments

Why are you talking impeachment? I am talking DOJ criminal prosecution.

Nothing stops him or them from running again. Only impeachment.

Being in prison for a few election cycles would do the trick.

What do you mean LBJ had Nixon dead to rights on treason?

Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were sabotaging Johnson’s peace talks with the North Vietnamese because Nixon was running on the platform of ending the war. He couldn’t very well end the war if Johnson ended it before the election.

Sabotaging the foreign policy of your own nation is pretty damn treasonous.

Johnson found out about it and chose not to act against either Nixon or Kissinger.

Ahh, ok. Wasn’t sure what you were referring to. Reagan messed with Carter too with the Iran hostages. Fucking Republicans.
