I am speechless. The corruption is just so brazen and obvious.
And why not do it when they face absolutely no consequences? Ideally she and trump would already be in jail for extreme corruption and failing to do their sworn duty yet nothing will happen at all.
Why would they take any steps to hide it? They’ve been openly corrupt for years, and the Democrats are either unable, or unwilling to challenge them. There’s been zero consequences for any of them, for any of their corruption. Beyond that, they’re outright telling everyone that they’re going to dissolve democracy if they win, and the DNC keeps acting like this is an ordinary election from 3 decades ago.
MAGA is never shy about their goals. I think Cannon’s goal here was to keep stalling until she had an excuse, and Thomas finally gave her one. She was only coy about it to not give Jack Smith the perfect excuse to have her removed from the case.
The democrats didn’t do anything about it because most are committed to using the system to accomplish their goals and treat republicans in good-faith. It also plays into their branding as the party of stability and normalcy. This basically turns each election into “the system” vs MAGA.
To their credit, democrats have been warning people about Trump’s (and MAGA’s) rhetoric for years. I think the main problem is more that the average swing-state voter doesn’t think it’s possible for that type of stuff to “happen in the US” and writes it off as mere political rhetoric. This is a mistake, to be sure, but it is a real problem that people do not take MAGA’s threats seriously.
However, the DNC has also repeatedly underestimated Trump and his cohort. If I recall correctly, some in Hillary Clinton’s campaign were happy to have Trump be the nominee because they thought his rhetoric would make him unelectable. Even now (and this is just my personal opinion) too many top democrats are relying on historical data and outcomes to predict this election and not the polling data sitting right in front of them.
I’d love to be wrong in November.
It is beyond foolish to continue treating someone with good faith when they have repeatedly, and reliably violated every instance of good faith they’ve been offered, for years, or even decades. The high road already gave us 4 years of trump, and I think I speak for millions of people when I say that I do not want another 4 to infinity years of trump.
