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

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!

Not a crime.
Don't know why you're being downvoted. You're right.
When law enforcement (not just police, but the whole 'justice system' behind them) refuses to enforce law, crimes become legal.
I've yet to see any of DJTs election interference face consequences; even with him openly bragging about it.
People become illegal. If you ain't part of the in-group then you're The Enemy.
DJT pardoned 77 people involved in the fake electors plot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_fake_electors_plot
People don’t get that it’s not an actual crime for him because he cannot be prosecuted as president.
People seem to have inconvenient thought amnesia.
That's not what that ruling actually says and the government investigating Joe Biden and his family makes it clear that only applies to a sitting president taking part in presidential matters. The ruling effectively says active investigation/prosecution can't happen while in office only after they leave office and presidential duties are only able to be strictly defined after a president leaves office and an investigation takes place.
Never leave, never prosecute. That’s the plan.
You get that not being charged with a crime ≈ unable to be charged correct?
He'll probably die before he's charged, his admin though they'll be the ones to end up in prison or finding their way to a long drop with a short fall.
~~No, because that's a lie.~~
Actually, no, wait: I think you just wrote ≈ when you meant ≠ .
What's a lie
And yes does not equal.
"not being charged with a crime [is approximately equal to being] unable to be charged" would've been a lie, if that had been what you meant to write.
But you knew that's not what I meant boss.
Hence crossing it out.
At the end of the day it’s the same thing. Laws are meaningless. It doesn’t matter what words you wrap around it to win an argument online.
They aren't at all the same thing. The way you phase it they couldn't investigate Biden but they are so clearly it isn't the way you're asserting. Nuance is important in legal matters there is generally not a "close enough" when talking about linguistics in law.
Imagine running propaganda for Nazis.

I'm just gonna block you. Your input isn't welcome in my feeds.
Wish more right wingers like you would block me.
Having (temporary) immunity does not cancel out the definition for a crime
EDIT: I briefly forgot about the Trump versus United States lawsuit. Immunity is not temporary afaik.
Shitty SCOTUS rulings don't make it not a crime either. Dred Scott was the law of the land at one point, too.
It is temporary. The ruling says sitting president and investigating Biden says even the admin doesn't accept that it's total immunity.
Only for "official acts" which we all know what will happen when a case comes before Uncle Clarence Tom and the rubber-stamp-SCOTUS.
