Why are the Republicans in Congress so meek, weak, and afraid? Where is the GOP united front opposing Bragg's politicization of the justice system?

“You can tell a politician is lying when they claim they want fairness for all. They're part of and represent an unfair elite who will never share their wealth, power or opportunities with the underclass.” -Stewart Stafford

Conservative Americans have for a long time realized that the majority of their representatives in Congress, in both the House and the Senate, are squishes; men and women without the courage of their stated convictions. They fear the leftist media so much more than they fear their own constituents, for whom it seems they only have contempt. There are exceptions, of course, and we all know who they are: The indefatigable Jim Jordan, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Jim Comer, Thomas Massie, Jim Banks, Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Green, to name a few of the few, fighters all. So far, Kevin McCarthy is doing a fair job as Speaker of the House. But why, oh, why, are even the good ones not gathering together to make a stand against the criminal district attorney of Manhattan?

D.A. Alvin Bragg’s pathetic move to indict Trump over a trumped-up charge no other law enforcement agency thought worthy of attention is ludicrous. This is a D.A. who has refused to charge countless violent criminals with felonies, yet has bet his career on charging the former president with a felony that wasn’t.

In April of 2021, then-Department of Justice attorney Michael Sherwin went on 60 Minutes to gleefully explain how the DOJ was going to charge anyone who was present at the Capitol on that day for their dissent.

This DOJ’s malevolent prosecutions of anyone who was there on January 6 has made our country’s legal system something akin to Stalin’s show trials.

Now Bragg’s attempt to criminalize Trump is the most classic case of malicious prosecution of an individual to come along in decades.

That the Republicans in Congress are letting this happen without a full-throated, united, response is shameful. They should be on the steps of the Capitol vowing to bring the government to a full stop until Bragg is fired for his crime of political prosecution on the flimsiest of evidence.

Biden, an illegitimate president from the outset, should have been impeached for ending our energy independence on day one. He should have been impeached for his ill-fated, murderous, withdrawal from Afghanistan but the Republicans were effectively mute.

He should be impeached for his DELIBERATE (yes, DELIBERATE) opening the southern border to all comers, over five million people from 160+ countries, at taxpayer expense.

Democrats know how to stick together and defend their own, even when ‘their own’ had actually committed a crime.

Compare republican now to the democrats when Clinton was charged with a felony for lying to a grand jury.
Not even close.

I blame the people of this country for NOT having a real insurrection on that tragic Jan 6.

Probably hiding behind the funds established to hush up their own discretions. This fund foes exist and they pay off the women...and men before the harassment goes public and these funds come from our tax dollars!

Let’s face it, most of the “republicans” in congress hate Trump as much as the dems do. He interferes with their lust for money and power and interrupts their cocktail party invitations.

Remember, it was the “republicans” in the senate when they had the majority who ran an “investigation” into Russian Collusion that lasted most of Trump’s term in office, keeping it up even after Mueller came out and said there was no collusion.

They are behind it and they know their support of a corrupt system affords them protection from the same. For a while.....

The uniparty serves the Beltway bureaucrats. Since the Beltway bureaucrats can now steal the votes it needs to serve its interests, we don't play a part anymore.

Hillary paid for the fake Russian dossier. Was she arrested? Imagine if Trump had done this level of treason?

The only people who hate Trump and MAGA more than Dems is the GOP.

I am in complete agreement with you. McConnell, The Corrupt Feeble One, is our patriarch in Congress and our supposed new Standard Bearer, Governor DeSantis, has not been as clear, angry and forceful on the subject as Senators Cruz and Paul have been.

We are loosing our country before our eyes and NONE of my Democrat friends are aware of it or even care.

I think the political prosecution of most of the J6 prisoners is malicious prosecutions happening before the Bragg malicious prosecution of Trump. So it has not been decades.

The ENTIRE Dem caucus would be rallying on the steps of the Capital, the GOP, not so much. really a stark difference.

Just another confirmation that I made a correct decision to NEVER contribute a single penny to any GOP organization ever again. Those bast*rds, except for a very few, are despicable in every sense of the word. SPIT!
