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.

- 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.

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!"

Could means won’t. Stop pretending.
Yawn "could" is doing so much heavy lifting it's probably doing steroids. This isn't even news. I'll believe in consequences when we fucking see some.
Get back to me when they are saying "will"
Yeah. We knew they weren't going to release anything, the whole point was to create a situation where Trump's lackeys like Bondi who are in charge of these supposedly independent organizations break the law and can therefore be held accountable for following illegal orders.
Make sure to vote in the midterms folks.
Maybe she's just polite like that?
Look, the only crime that white people get prosecuted for is if they harm a richer white person.
She's safe.
A bunch of files just got inexplicably deleted. I wonder why 🥸
Hope she knows a good bail bondiman
I see what you did there
She has the presidential pardon trump card. (Badum ts)
[redacted], Bondi replied.
then just fuckin' do it! She damn well knew that she was breaking the law, so hold her to account! they don't give a damn about your empty threats.
DO SOMETHING!
It's past the deadline already no? She was told to release documents, and instead she released rectangles. One would expect someone at her age to know the difference between English letters and big rectangles.
That's not how democrats work.
First, they give a verbal warning: "we are very disappointed".
Then, comes a written warning: "we are really really disappointed now"
And then they flip and flop and don't do anything.
You missed the part where they blast/slam them.
it's not blast/slam, it's BLAST/SLAM.
Chuck Schumer pulls his glasses down slightly to show his extreme disappointment.
You forgot the protest video where they listen to the Hamilton soundtrack in solidarity with all the people starving and being abducted to concentration camps.

They then point out how hypocritical the known hypocrites are.

Considering the Dems don't control the House, Senate, or White House, the only power they do have currently is promising future prosecution if they take back one of the branches of government. The Republican-led congress and White House are obviously not going to do anything.
What a ridiculous system. So basically politicians in the ruling government can't be held responsible and prosecuted according to the law if they hold power in the government?
I mean, I already knew the American legal system was a fucking joke when Trump got away with all his crimes and then he pardoned a ton of other criminals. Even though he shouldn't have this kind of power, he's the President.
But now you're saying that certain other people in the government cannot be prosecuted either? WTF?!
I'm no big fan of the Democrats, but historically they are willing to get rid of their own when even accused of wrongdoing. See Senator Al Franken for the silliest example of this.
Republicans will not, in the vast majority of cases, do the same.

I thought the deadline was yesterday. Did we give a new deadline? What makes them think this deadline would be any different?
Edit: the article is from yesterday.
This article is from yesterday, presumably before the 11:59pm deadline and before the (highly redacted) files were released.
Yeah, sorry for not being quick on the draw. Got in from a long flight and conked out.
Anytime anyone mentions the files she just keeps asking “Pardon Me?"
She's not going deaf. She's just reminding Trump to hold up his end of the bargain
Haha holy shit wait... For real?
If it is, it's definitely going over Trumpie's mush brains.
Democrats will do nothing, even if they do Pam won't face any ramifications, this is all performative.
Yeah but they're like, closer to doing something, right folks?

Please for the love of god throw this idiot in prison for life
That would explain why she's not going to go to prison.
"Could" is the operative word here.
Face prosection from who exactly? Pam Bondi controls indictments for tampering with evidence and Congressional contempt actions are referred to the DOJ which then go to... Pam Bondi.

“Let me be very clear, we need a full release,” Khanna said.
Hehehehehehehe
😏
It's actually a request. She wants a pardon for... Stuff
What are they gonna do, write a strongly worded letter to her? I'm sick of all the talk.
Prosecution by whom? Point to the person who will be prosecuting any of these fucks.
