The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: Since ABC gonna ABC, they need to throw in "mistakenly deported". He was never "mistakenly deported".

From your link: The Trump administration has acknowledged in court filings that Abrego Garcia's removal to El Salvador in March was in error...

The other puzzling aspect of this case was always this: If Abrego Garcia committed a crime, why wasn't he simply charged and tried?

The answer is also right there in your link: the Trump DOJ only began the investigation of Abrego Garcia in April, a full month after he was disappeared to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison -- despite a 2019 court order barring his deportation.

In short, they didn't indict him and try him because they had no evidence he had committed any crimes.

Looking over the indictment, there are a lot of allegations that he was involved in a lot of very serious crimes and references to multiple "co-conspirator" statements but what is he actually charged with?

Look, this is simple: If Abrego Garcia committed crimes he should be charged and tried. Despite your nonsense, no one is suggesting otherwise. But it looks like the indictment hinges mostly on the word of jailhouse informants.

So your smugness may be a little premature.

Finally, the "left's" only interests are in following the rule of law and the Constitution, democratic principles many on the right seem only too happy to abandon.

And by the way, this isn't going to take the spotlight off of the girls' feud: the Elon and Mad King Donald break-up is still headline news.
