Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sounds like obstruction of justice.
Sounds like the continuation of a coup.
Sounds like more individuals to indict with RICO charges
Is it RICO if these are all separate people committing crimes of their own accord?
I'm not a lawyer, but from the way the indictment was written it sounded like it was the mission that included you in the group, not the main person.
That's how RICO works: you don't have to have committed the actual crime, but if your actions materially contributed to the commission of the crime, that's considered pretty much the same thing.
The Georgia GOP is going to get itself caught up in federal RICO charges at this rate.
I wonder how that would work.
What if the Florida GOP make a RICO reversal law?
Uno reverse! (I don't know how to link/post images)
If it's done to perpetuate a conspiracy, maybe
I'm sure Trump's attorney would say no.
It's never stopped after all.
Where might one purchase ^^metaphorical tar?
(I'm good on ^^metaphorical feathers)
I've got a hole in my yard filled with it, I used to dump motor oil in there.
Don't forget the feathers!
Following the old popsci article I see lol
Nah, leave them dull.
And rusted.
More pain, just how they like it... when it doesn't affect them.
Retaliation is a crime.
Legally? No.
Obstruction is a legal charge. Since what they're doing would be legal--since they wrote the law--it can't be obstruction.
