    The American political system doesn't have what it takes to hold most rich people accountable, let alone a former president. Prosecutorial liberalism was always an illusion. The only way forward is political.https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1496576079884128265 …

        I did over the last few years write a few columns on the illusions of prosecutorial liberalism but I didn't push the point hard enough. I regret that.https://newrepublic.com/article/143391/democrats-can-restore-faith-political-process …

        While I agree with you, the real danger was always Georgia. We'll see how that shakes out.

        Jeet, with regard to root word “liberal,” you may be overusing it to a degree. You want to be careful with this because at some point it will become more like Tourette’s than analysis.

        Liberalism is a pretty pervasive tradition. Liberals have a hard time seeing that for the same reason fish are reputedly not aware of water.

        Am I nuts for thinking T has reams of damaging info on USGov that he's threatening to release if prosecuted?

        Given the kakistocracy and activity of US plutocrats, $$ is sufficient to avoid any accountability + the "corporate shield" is->vehicle to carry out wholesale graft & peculation ( in the name of "maximizing profits for shareholders") Prosecutorial liberalism->for the little guy!
