Legal Expert: DOJ Is ‘Not Doing Its Job' Regarding Jan. 6 Prosecutions
It's a lot worse than the appearances to people worldwide, we have to remember that there are financial implications to whether or not we remain a productive democratic republic or become a potential kleptocratic oligarchy. Politicians on both sides of the aisle seem to forget that there are many foreign countries underwriting our finances and even more who have stakes in "The Great American Experiment" which has done so much so far.

Concerns For Democracy Grow Ahead Of 2024
If faith in voting fails then the purpose of voting fails and in its turn, democracy fails. But even more importantly, capitalism fails as well, as one can easily see around the world, one-party systems are no good at capitalism at all. Now capitalism carries a very heavy debt load because it is capable of generating very large incomes. Other methods of governance are not so adept and will surely result in debts being called. Republicans haven't given much thought to what happens after they "secure" power by means other than popular consent.

Could he be suffering a breakthrough infection himself? We know he's been vaccinated because hypocrisy is the Republican thing, so if he's suffering a breakthrough he would probably want to do so in secret, else everyone would know that he took the vaccine which is a no-no in Trumpland.

Back in the late '60s, I was a "hysterically paranoid climate crazed guy", now comes 2020 and what we were predicting then that was dismissed as "half-crazed lunacy" is now mainstream and visible suffering. Oh well, I (and others) tried to do our part, people with fortunes riding on pollution were able to drown all protesters out. My best guess, judging by history, is we're going to be facing terrible catastrophes before the serious actions are mounted. Good luck, follow your own path grasshoppers.
January 6 House Committee Set To Hold Public Hearings In New Year
As a general rule presidential documents that go to the National Archives are not classified. In which case the Trump documents were already public documents when they went to the Archives and if anyone had bothered to ask for them they'd have gotten them.
In this case, even if Trump had ordered the documents classified when he held the presidency, they became public again when President Biden ordered them released. Which reminds me, there are a number of security clearances President Joe Biden needs to cancel, Jared Kushner for one, Bill Barr is another and there's a host of other former White House denizens who need to have their access to classified documents recinded.
