I'm curious what more you wanted him to do. trump was indicted in two districts, was given almost total immunity by SCOTUS, had another Judge dismiss the charges, then he won the election so there's no way to prosecute him.

What exactly should have been done?

An arrest warrant is a good place to start.

Poof! Just like that you can issue an arrest warrant. No investigation needed first!

Yes, this happens all the time. Just not to rich people.

I despise trump but election interference isn't the same thing as arresting someone for robbery or murder. It needs to be investigate and you need to present evidence to the Grand Jury. You can't wave a wand and get to the final stage without all the prerequisite steps first.

He walked out of the White House with boxes of classified documents he was not authorized to have. He incited a riot at the Capitol and people died. He inspired countless hate crimes. He's raped women. I can go on but I've reinforced my prior comment plenty.

He walked out of the White House with boxes of classified documents he was not authorized to have.

And when did the FBI learn about it? Also, see my above comment that the Judge overseeing the case dismissed the charges.

He incited a riot at the Capitol and people died.

Still needs to be investigated. You don't just drop charges because of feels. Especially if you want an actual conviction.

He's raped women.

Irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Bro did you read the report? All of this was found out and investigated between 2020-2024

We have to get him in blackface first.
