Honestly, I would fall into this trap. The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

We have to tell them in every possible way, that we expect JUSTICE.

Dems won't listen. We told them we wanted justice with 1/6'ers. You saw how that turned out.

    Pam Bondi became AG citing how she was going to bring pedophiles to justice. Donald Trump himself said he was going to drain the swamp of Washingtonian corruption. People say a lot of things, especially in order to get elected.

    I'm glad you brought up the J6ers. While I was watching it happening, I wondered why the cops didn't just mow down those traitors with machines guns and baptize the Capitol steps in treasonous blood. So I was screaming for justice from the beginning.

    Right away, there were people claiming nothing would happen. Yet the FBI quickly put up a website with photos of the most violent traitors, much of it drawn from their own social media posts, because they were stupid enough to believe the same bullshit, that nothing would happen to them.

    But their families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. all dimed them out, and they started to get arrested. Then the naysayers said they never go to trial. Then they went to trial, and they said they'd never get real sentences, and they started to get sentenced to years in prison.

    Eventually, well over 1000 people were tried and sentenced, and many more were still in line, and still being sought. They cought a bunch on my area 2 or 3 years later, who were tried and sentenced.

    And the entire time these people were being sought, arrested, tried, and sentenced, there were people like you, hollering that these people would never see justice - as they were sitting in prison.

    Yeah, Trump pardoned them all, but not before they spent some time in prison. If you've ever spent a single day in jail, you'd know you'd never want to spend another one there. Most of these people were normal American citizens at one time, who drank the hypnosis juice and became wild MAGAs, and they were brought up to be intensely frightened of prison, as they should be. So spending even a few months in prison, especially since you didn't think you could ever count on a pardon, and believed you had years ahead of you, is going to leave a lasting mark on these people. The next time Trump demands they fight for him, I doubt many of these people will show up for round 2.

    But not a damn one with any real power, and that's the problem.

    Which is why I figure the only semblance of justice that will be had here will be social or civil, not criminal. I think we will see victims suing the agents who attacked them, or raped them, or otherwise brutalized them. There will be stories in the media about these monsters that will result in some flavors of social consequences.

    But I'd be shocked if any of them spend significant time in prison.

    100% Valid. While I take exception with your statement that NOBODY was punished, you are 100% correct that it was only the moronic foot soldiers that were punished, and ALL of the leaders got away.

    I was for applying the 14th Amendment/Section 3 to any MAGA who had amplified the proven Big Lie that the election was stolen. That would have tossed out nearly every Republican politician. But the cowardly Dems chose not to follow the Constitution that they are charged to protect. The MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries is old and tired, and it's time to give them the hook, and drag them offstage. They've done enough damage.

    But it's not over yet. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they inexorable. They will never stop. Jack Smith's Insurrection and Stolen Documents cases are in hibernation, not dropped. He will re-activate them the moment Trump is out of office.

    So rather than believe that Trump has escaped justice, understand that in reality, HARSH justice is hanging over his head, and NOBODY is more aware of it, than he is.

    He'll get his, and so will the rest of them.
