NEW: @JoeBiden advisers won't say if he supports a bipartisan commission to investigate Trump-era crimes & abuses of power, but some historians and legal experts agree one is needed as Democratic activists caution against merely "turning the page" on Trump independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
“Not having a real, transparent investigation of the abuses that Trump and his cronies have committed...would tell future presidents... that it doesn’t matter how bad they let things get because the next president will just drop it," said one activist. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
“After World War Two, we made Germany go through de-Nazification. We need to put our entire government through ‘de-Trumpification’ and punish every single person who followed Stephen Miller’s illegal orders,” said another.

But "Exorcising Hitler: The Occupation & De-Nazification of Germany" author @fredvallier said any examination of @realDonaldTrump-era crimes “should not feel imposed, even if it's a convincing win for Biden & the Democrats control both houses of Congress.” independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
“Even if you bring the evidence in, you do have to legitimize it. The general attitude among many Germans — not just fanatical Nazis, but many Germans — towards the int'l tribunal in Nuremberg was pretty cynical,” @fredvallier explained. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
Ex-@TheJusticeDept prosector @glennkirschner2 says any "Trump Crimes Commission" should be "a uniquely American response to our uniquely American atrocity" that can draw inspiration from de-Nazification & South Africa's Truth & Reconciliation Commission. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
But @glennkirschner2 isn't worried about GOP critics crying foul: “It will be argued that anything that's done to address the crimes committed during the Trump years is somehow politically motivated revenge or retribution, and that’s absolute horseshit". independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…
“If crimes were going unaddressed because of political reasons, you can't possibly argue that if you address them in the future, honestly, ethically, and in a nonpartisan way, that somehow you're doing the wrong thing," @glennkirschner2 said. independent.co.uk/voices/trump-b…

"We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the anarchists, the agitators, the looters, and people who in many instances, have absolutely no clue what they are doing," @realDonaldTrump says, comparing protesters to Nazis.
"The power of tariffs, being imposed on foreign lands that took advantage of the United States for decades and decades have enabled us to make great trade deals where there were none," @realDonaldTrump lies, bragging about raising taxes on American companies and consumers.
"Wwe will not allow anyone to divide our citizens by race or background, we will not allow them to foment hate discord and distrust," says @realDonaldTrump, who routinely divides citizens by race and background, and whose campaign has doubled down on racial grievance.

We are 15 minutes into this “town hall” and the only person who has asked @realDonaldTrump questions is Hannity.
Oh, ok. @realDonaldTrump is now touting stop & frisk as a “great thing” @RudyGiuliani did for New York that was “ruined” by @MikeBloomberg.

Trump is now threatening to “go in” to cities for more “stop and frisk.”
.@realDonaldTrump says @JoeBiden “is going to be your president because some people don’t love me, maybe.”
