Roxan Wetzel is a relative newcomer to politics. She began to get involved in 2019, she said, inspired by the start of North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson’s meteoric rise in politics.
Can someone explain why this is different from election interference?
You have people going away for years for stealing/destroying ballots, as they should.
But to throw away the result of millions of counted ballots seems like these low level interference x1000. How have they not faced dire consequences?
And yeah, I know, if its considered state level crimes (because states define tgeir own election rules), then it’s local law enforcement, prosecutors, judges who look the other way because it’s for their team.
But these seem to be major crimes with a clear record. How are they not locked away despite political alignment?
It’s not, but you have a DOJ that is afraid of doing anything that might look ‘political’. We know enough that this whole scheme was coordinated from the very top, but they slow walked the whole thing so we’re now in the situation where Trump could get elected again and make the whole thing go away.
Seeing as how people have already been indicted for this shit, knowing that this is potentially coming, I don’t think they’re going to have the same kid gloves on this time. And the orange stain isn’t in power anymore. However we will see soon enough!
Yeah, I guess that’s what I don’t get. How can stealing/destroying ballots not be considered “political”, but figuratively throwing out all of the ballots and unilaterally picking the winner be protected as “political”.
It seems both are major crimes to democracy, whatever political party happened to commit said crimes.
Unless there’s some grey area not explicitly addressed in law wrt electors.
DOJ acts according to the President’s priorities. Where was the party putting pressure on the Whitening House and insisting on justice being served? Should have been a top priority after Biden took office

Which is itself political, and 100000000% corrupt.

It’s like Democrats don’t care if Trump committed crimes
Might be that they prefer doubling down on the pied piper strategy pioneered by Hillary.
They do, but the Democrats don’t enact justice. The DOJ does that, or is supposed to.
