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.

Gator1984: There is evidence that he believes this because he gave Hillary a pass the first time.

You're woefully misinformed. We've discussed this here before:

President Trump on Friday pressured the Department of Justice 'and specifically the FBI' to investigate Hillary Clinton, ticking through a slew of issues involving the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and her party, and urging law enforcement to 'do what is right and proper.'


washingtonpost.com - Trump pressures justice department to investigate crooked hillary

'At one point in the spring of 2018, Trump instructed [former White House Counsel] Don McGahn to direct [former Attorney General Jeff] Sessions to prosecute Clinton and Comey and, if the attorney general refused, said he would do it himself as president...'

thehill.com - Trump thought he could prosecute comey and clinton himself book

Gator1984: However, in Biden's situation he has highjacked the whole justice department with him down his path of lies.

Right. New York juries unanimously found that Donald Trump sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll and committed 34 felonies by falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.

The House Judiciary Committee already went down that road of connecting the Biden administration to those state indictments and came to a dead end: Biden's DOJ had no connection to those prosecutions.

Gator1984: I may vote for Trump just because he will free the Jan 6 "victims" that have been prosecuted by the Biden team. These jail terms are not commensurate with the "crimes". At least he will address a big injustice IMO.

Well, let's hear from one of the Jan 6 defendants, Leo Brent Bozell IV:

The younger Bozell turned to apologize to two Capitol police officers sitting in the courtroom gallery before U.S. District Judge John Bates sentenced him to three years and nine months behind bars. He also told his parents and wife that he has “put a stain on my family forever.”

“I don’t recognize that person in the videos,” he said. “I don’t know what I was thinking.”


At the urging of then-president Trump, Bozell made plans to go to the Capitol on Jan. 6 and anticipated violence. Bozell used a metal object to shatter the windowpane of the Senate Wing Door. After climbing through the smashed window, Bozell joined other rioters in chasing a Capitol Police officer, Eugene Goodman, up a staircase to an area where other officers confronted the group. He breached at least seven police lines before he was finally escorted out of the Capitol after more than an hour, after rummaging through Speaker Pelosi's office and the Senate chamber.

Poor guy. He was just a tourist, dontchaknow.
