Nothing says “distract from the Epstein files” by indicting a 95 year old…
Speaking of

95 year old former leader of another country
Sets a good precedent, in case any other countries are watching and want to give Trump some fun during his retirement.
Nevermind Trump, he’ll be dead from his shit living before he can stand trial. You guys need to deal with everyone else, all the enablers, collaborators, co-conspirators
We’ve all seen what americans tolerate in their own leaders. These indictments mean less than nothing.
He’s 94.
95 by the time they actually do anything. June 3rd.
What would be the point. Cuba is already heavily immiserated due to US blockade and sanctions.
Trump wants a pretext to invade Cuba. This could be just like Iraq and Bush demanding Hussain step down or be invaded.
They’re probably going to kidnap him just like they did to Maduro.
the USA had turncoats in Venezuela that simply handed Maduro over. I don’t think that kidnapping Raul Castro will be that simple.
Indict our own prez, he has more than enough things to be charged with.
Well that’s the #1 thing we learned last time, the Justice Department serves the executive and will not investigate or indict their boss.
Good argument to move the Justice Department from the executive branch to the Judicial Branch. Give the Supreme Court some teeth.
As much as I’d love to see little donnie charged with everything in the books…
Putting enforcement under the purview of the branch primarily charged with interpreting the laws gives a rather perverse incentive to see their own prosecutors succeed and as such interpret things to accomplish that goal. It’s bad enough having lifetime scotus appointments by a president extending their influence beyond their term, putting prosecution in that same branch’s watch could secure a dictator-in-abstentia spot pretty quick.
Well, moving it would require either an amendment or a new constitution, so you fix that problem with term limits and greater checks and balances on the Judicial.
The Court has always had a problem with enforcement:
W. Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump and Biden are still around. They should be the ones indicted with killing millions of people in the last 3 decades.
