Alvin Bragg needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

[@Wordgoblin]

Yeah, but what are they going to do about it? People need to go to jail, and/or lose their office. People like Bragg, James, and Willis need to be banned from practicing law forever because of this. Those judges need to be disbarred in disgrace.

[@KaliYugaYogi]

We need military tribunals. When Trump is re-re- elected, there will be hell to pay. Trump has already promised to make trafficking and diddling a capital crime. The dems are desperate.

[@Jchasser]

this is all they can do. All they can do is take this testimony and refer it to the department of justice. Then the department of justice decides to prosecute and you know who’s in charge of the department of Justice Merrick Garland.
