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.

What criminal statute do you think she violated?
Been over this. She's untouchable because of the [d] behind her name.


No - she's untouchable because she didn't commit any violations of criminal statutes for which there is sufficient admissible evidence to bring a case. Which is why Trump's DOJ didn't prosecute her. Because she her actions didn't constitute the elements of any particular criminal statute.

Trump was able to be prosecuted and convicted because he actually committed crimes. Clinton can't be prosecuted or convicted, because she didn't actually commit crimes. Even if you think that the prosecutor shouldn't have brought charges against Trump, that doesn't change the fact that Trump actually committed crimes - just that you think he shouldn't have been charged for them.

You keep thinking that this opens up the floodgates for prosecutions against Dems....but it doesn't. As your own article points out, Trump was able to be prosecuted because he actually committed the crimes he was charged with. That doesn't make it any easier for prosecutors to bring charges against Democrats who haven't committed any crimes.
