How will a trial do anything to unite us as a nation? After all that's the goal, right? The only thing a trial is going to do is drive the wedge deeper between people like yourself and those who believe the election was fraudulent. If you and your ilk truly want to move on an move forward, then this spectacle in the middle of a pandemic and economic crisis is not the way to do it. It reeks of looking back...not forward. Anyone with a brain can see this is nothing more than a final "gotcha/i told you so moment." Don't you think our elected officials have more important things to focus their energy on? And what if he walks? Would you be willing to admit it was a colossal waste of time and our money?Quote:

Maybe we'll actually hold him accountable...Mister "I don't accept any responsibility." But I doubt it.
Recommend you read the Republican Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.Quote:

Remember when Rand Paul was beaten senseless by his neighbor? I never understood why the pursued charges. I mean, the beating was already over and the guy had left the property. It seemed like it was bad for healing and unity.
And what was the point of the Nuremberg Trials? I mean, the NAZIs had already left the countries they were occupying, and had pretty much been crushed out of power. Why have them? Why not just focus on healing and unity.
Anyone who breaks the law and then argues they shouldn't be tried on the basis of it not being conducive to healing and unity doesn't understand the point of a trial, and really doesn't have a concept of what healing and unity is. Saying there shouldn't be a trial because it isn't winnable, or the evidence is flimsy, or that there was no obvious wrongdoing is one thing. Saying there shouldn't be one because of unity is just stupid. If that's the case, then why try anyone ever? Justice is a big part of healing and unity.
Just as a point of fact, only a handful of Nazis were tried during the Nuremberg Trials. The vast majority were allowed to "walk" because of unity. Well, it's a little more complicated than that, but the Allies wanted the German population to align with them against the Russians. After Nuremberg it was thought the German population was getting tired of taking all the blame for everything, so in order to "unite" Germany with the Allies, the Allies basically looked the other way for all the "rank and file" Nazis - in other words, those that weren't in leadership (for the most part).Quote:

The comparison to criminal law/trials is cute but wholly irrelevant.
