He was prosecuted. The Supreme Court short-circuited the impending trial.

No. Technicalities prevented it. reason.com/volokh/2025/...

That's an explanation for why he didn't charge Trump with insurrection. He was charged. He was set to stand trial. The SC bailed him out. But what difference would it have made? Voters elected him having seen it all with their own eyes, and knowing he was a convicted felon.

In 2024 yes not 2021.

Ridiculous - January 6th just 14 days before the 20th when Biden took office- Trump is running from jail and tried to change the outcome if you remember. That's an insurrection.

Couldn’t agree more. Even the lesser charge of inciting a riot would have been something! However, bringing charges they couldn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt might have caused even more damage. You can see the creature’s post now, “TOTAL VINDICATION!”

Yep, in a perfect world, everyone in that tent would have been classified as enemy combatants and hauled away as traitors to the United States of America.

What could have been. What SHOULD have been.

The US has been letting traitors off the hook since 1865...every southerner that took up arms against their own country should have been hanged until their last breath. Instead they went home and were hailed as heroes.

Great men tried to heal the country’s wounds using the message of unity. In both cases, the gesture was wasted on the unworthy.

Wait a minute, not the entire South?

For some reason we looked the other way when the traitorous slogan, “The South Will Rise Again” was uttered.

In a"nutshell", that's the problem!

It’s weird that the Democrats could never really make the case that Trump was the architect behind the rioting at the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. With the production value of their supposed investigation, they couldn’t make the case… Then they lost the files to the “investigation”.

I think they chose not to make the case.
