January 6th legal proceedings and investigations megathread

If olawakandi had been the prosecutor Trump would have been impeached.

Lol, nothing has happened yet, nothing, everyone is innocent until proven guilty except murders like we knew the people that committed the assassinations and mass murders and they were all Dahmer types including Oswald

I would watch a TV show of olawakandi interviewing murders on death row and then breaking down their psychology.

Even murderers are presumed innocent before being proven guilty under the law.

Are you sure? olawakandi goes to law school.

I was seeing the headlines about this while stuck in the airport hellscape on Christmas Eve and assumed there had to be some kind of big time smoking gun. But from what I am seeing it looks like this isn't anything we didn't already know. Unless you can prove that one of these alt-right guys who planned it actually told his plans to Trump and got an ok from him to get him on some kind of conspiracy charge, it's going to be hard to convict him of anything. It was dumb and wrong of him to lie about the election being stolen over and over but that's not illegal.

Is there any legitimacy to the secret service thing? I fail to see why he couldn't just have a security detail and be kept separate from the general prison population as has occurred with other high profile inmates with an increased assassination risk like organized crime figures or informants. Just seems like we give presidents way too much leniency sometimes. The Justice Department "can't indict the president" thing is so stupid. They are supposed to be citizen leaders not above the law and ultimately public servants

With all Trump's legal troubles while running for president and having a significant chance of winning I don't want to hear anyone make fun of Lyndon LaRouche ever again.

Not sure how they're going to ever realize their dream of sending Biden and Obama to jail if you can't even prosecute the president after he's president. The position being taken by the right at this point is that president's should be completely above the law both during and after their presidencies.
