Smith's federal criminal cases against Trump were upended by the election, as the Justice Department's longstanding policy is that sitting presidents can't be charged with crimes.
It was all bluster, and ultimately, no one was held to account except for the littlest guys. Most of them probably moments away from full pardons. I’m just hoping they do enough damage and leave us enough to build back from. If we manage to get through it and even if the next person is 8 years a democrat it will ultimately be more of the same divisive bullshit. I’m just ready to watch it all burn at this point. If he can’t be held accountable, it’s all fucked and a waste. Just a mirage to calm the plebs while the rich and powerful get to do whatever they want. That’s not the America I was sold.
It wasn’t bluster, it was effort. You’re making that determination based on hindsight. If trump hadn’t won, which they can’t control, then progress would have continued.

You’re crazy if you think trump will actually pardon his followers. He hates them. He’ll only pardon people who can pay him.
