Theyve had Mueller testify under oath he could charge Trump with obstruction. No charges
We'v been through this multiple times, Mueller referred the case to Congress because that was the only mechanism to remove a sitting president. Dems didn't have a majority so Congress was unsuccessful twice in the removal. Mueller wouldn't have been able to get criminal proceedings held considering Trump had a DOJ that favored him.
They have Cohen testify trump is individual 1 with a check from Trump. No charges.
Cohen cooperating against Trump required additional evidence and other corroborating witnesses since his implications were in regards to charges he himself were indicted on. Without other credible cooperators, NYAG had a weaker case on the word of a soon to be convicted felon.
They had trump admit that the reason he fired Comey multiple times on TV because he wouldn't let it go. No charges
Burden of Proof my boy. That single admission is not enough to secure an indictment, there has to be additional evidence showing intent.
They have trump in possession of top secret documents for over a year. No charges.
Actively being investigated as we speak, 3 potential statues violated 8 U.S.C. §§ 793 (fine or up to 10 years), 2071 (fine or up to 3 years) and 1519 (fine or up to 20 years).
But again, you have to read the gist of the statute in order to understand what DOJ has to prove
793 - is there evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that his possession of these documents was used to harm the US or benefit a foreign nation.
2071 - did he willfully conceal, remove, or destroy documents. This might be the only statute so far there is obvious proof to us on the outside looking in.
1519 - is there evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that his possession of these documents were used to impede or influence government matters or investigations.
If the evidence isn't strong, he could skate on a fine for each of these charges.
Have trump on tape and on SM interfering in elections. No charges
Being investigated in GA now. Another state investigation not DOJ.
Have trump inciting an insurrection and now calling for the end to the constitution. No charges.
We'll have to see what criminal referrals come out of the J6 committee and what evidence they passed to DOJ and what evidence DOJ has been able to capture in their own investigation. This is also on going.
You don't need proof. All that was need was an AG with a backbone. We got a meek politico instead
So out of all your examples, besides the Mueller investigation and Cohen's indictment, they all are currently still ongoing. We know there is at least one grand jury empaneled (GA).
You keep saying Garland let Trump walk but it looks like he's actively investigating him. You and I both know Barr's DOJ initiated no investigations into Trump to transfer to Garland's DOJ. So that means DOJ is working from scratch, so it'll be a while before we know if they're going to hold him accountable or not. No prosecuting attorney is bringing forth charges based on mainstream media reports and social media posts, you have to be realistic.
