The problem is avoiding the perception of a dictator consolidating power by locking up his political rivals. That's a big part of why there's been so little action. The treasonists have so far hid behind the administration's duty to avoid creating the perception that they're using the office to lock up political dissidents or potential election opponents and their supporters.

Seriously, if you ever want to get away with a crime, just run for office and accuse the incumbent of trying to lock you up to eliminate the competition. It worked for Biden.

Edit: Like I said: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1339585047481917441?s=20

Why does Trump care? Because If you can plausibly convince a judge that you were only prosecuted because you were a threat to the President's power, then you'll get off.

We called out AOC for trying to pull this shit. If we actually do it on the way out, the DEMs will have justification to do it to us for the next 4 years and beyond.

Oh my god. The DEMS don't need any justifications or precedent to do anything ever, you fucking retard. Did conservatives ever cheat on this scale ever before? The DEMS still did it. They don't need any precedents and you should stop projecting your sissyfaggotry on them.

Get your head out of your ass. Don't be a cuckservative. Be a lion

It's not an "argument", it's a judicial standard and it doesn't matter if you're sick of it. It only matters what a judge thinks when an accused makes a plausible argument that he was only prosecuted because the president is trying to consolidate power. Because political prosecutions aren't allowed in a free country.

Yeah and you would think 10% of our states wouldn't be able to conspire in stealing a Presidential election yet here we are. As for legal proceedings, we are operating in the court of public opinion and as such, we can say whatever we want knowing full well whatever we say we will be spun by the enemy media.

Tell that to General Flynn, Donald Trump, Kyle R, and everyone else the state has prosecuted using dictator like powers

And while you are trying to figure out a plausible argument to take to judge so they can laugh at you and refuse to hear your case like they have with all these election fraud cases the state is busy finishing turning this nation into a CCP like oligarchy.

If President Lincoln cared what mattered to judges as you say then the nation would have been split into 3 or more factions and the Civil War would have gone down differently.

Fucking cuckservatives. Always living their lives for the left.

It's not about living their lives for the left, it's about the fact that there are major checks and balances built into the US political system meant to prevent tyranny (it's kind of the whole point of the US political system). Such a system is necessarily going to make it extremely difficult for the President to go after his rivals using the power of his office. Even the perception of that happening is destructive to the system, therefore the system probably has checks to prevent that happening.

So instead, we allow the Leftist criminals to walk free because optics. Meanwhile, when the Left is in power (even sometimes when they're not), Conservatives are visited with SWAT teams in the early morning hours.

Seems legit.

It's time to stop worrying about fucking optics.

The inauguration is one month away. What fucking perception? What fucking optics? If you care about the left so you should spread your cheeks and lose because that what will make the left happy. Fucking slave morality.

You need to try actually reading what I'm saying, rather than letting your emotion run away with you.

First order of business: Commandeer MSM and social media. Second: Hire journalists that will actually report the truth.
