Why Donald Trump can’t be prosecuted for ‘dereliction of duty’ for his inaction on Jan. 6
The ConversationMAY 2022
After eight public hearings and a barrage of damning revelations, the evidence is clear. Trump, Mark Meadows, and other Trump allies made a brazen attempt to overthrow American democracy, yet none of them have been charged by the Department of Justice. The Jan. 6 committee has done its due diligence - now it's time for DOJ to step up or the window will close.
The left's rhetoric about American democracy is deeply hypocritical. Not only are voters tired of the partisan Jan. 6 hearing spectacle, but the Democratic party has been caught spending nearly $44M supporting far-right members of the GOP in a desperate attempt to stack the deck in their favor during the general election. If Democrats truly believed Trump-like politicians are treasonous, why would they attempt to help these candidates in any way?
