"The Biden admin urgently needed to investigate and prosecute three major Trump admin crimes: 1) Handling of covid-19 2) 1/6 attack 3) Trump Kremlin complicity
"They have investigated none of them. And as a result our country is in even greater danger." patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"Meanwhile the GOP created counter-narratives for each crime. Covid "origin story", the big lie, Biden and Ukraine. They've used this tactic of preemptive narrative inversion for years. 'Pizzagate' to divert from Trump/Epstein case is another example." patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"In other words, the Democrats should have been prepared. But instead, what’s remarkable here is that the Democrats barely bother with controlling the actual narrative — that is, the truth! — much less investigating the crimes." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"One could say that the GOP is many moves ahead, but truth is that Dem leadership are barely bothering to play. They are surrendering in advance. This surrender is not about a partisan battle. Ignoring crimes this severe is a surrender of the US itself." patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"The refusal of officials to fight has led us to this terrible juncture. It is the lack of even trying that is most damning. Trying your hardest and failing is one thing. Not trying at all is an abdication of duty and an act of complicity." --@gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/merrick-…

"We do not deserve to live under a mafia state. It's unfortunate that Merrick Garland does not agree with that. He seems to be committed to keeping the mafia state apparatus which grew under Trump intact at the DOJ." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"Garland is continuing the DOJ's defense of Trump against E Jean Carroll. Barr initiated this defense and it was and is NOT normal. It is an absolute abuse of executive power that results in taxpayers paying for Trump's defense against a woman he raped." patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
"To remind you of how disgusting and unprecedented this was, here is what Carroll's lawyers said about the case at the time:" patreon.com/posts/merrick-…
Once again, Garland serves Trump and Barr. We warned you about this many times on @gaslitnation. The DOJ is a corrupt institution and Garland is a corrupt institutionalist.
What message does it send when a govt won’t investigate an attack on its own Capitol by seditionists who now announce their plans for a sequel unimpeded? Or that the former POTUS was a known career criminal who pardoned the criminals who aided him? Who would trust that country?
Refusing to enforce accountability isn’t strength. It’s dangerous denial that hurts not only Americans but anyone who deals with the US. Yes, actions speak louder than words — and when it comes to elite criminal impunity and compromised institutions, there’s been little action.
Trump and his lackeys treated NATO like a protection racket, threatened foreign officials with violence, blackmailed others, backed the enemies of our allies and the allies of our enemies...and walked free.
Why would you trust a successor admin that won’t enforce accountability?
In 2020, I wrote that the Biden admin needed investigations and prosecutions of three major Trump admin crimes. The Biden admin investigated none of them and as a result our country is in even greater danger. Meanwhile, the GOP created vigorous counter-narratives for each crime.
1) Trump handling of covid (letting virus spread, hijacking PPE, shaking down states, etc). GOP counter: China “origin story”
2) 1/6 attack by violent seditionists. GOP: “big lie”, “it was antifa”, “it was tourists”, etc
3) Trump is a Kremlin asset. GOP: Biden serves Ukraine.
I’ve written about the GOP tactic of preemptive narrative inversion many times (for example, “pizzagate” vs Trump/Epstein rape case).
What’s remarkable here is that the Dems barely bother with controlling the actual narrative — the truth! — much less investigating the crimes.
"Certain foreign powers wanted Trump elected as a way of getting Kushner, a life-long friend of Netanyahu and oligarchs from around the world, into power to carry out private kleptocratic initiatives and rearrange the power structure of the Middle East." patreon.com/posts/51998329
"What’s critical to know is that these plans are ongoing, even though Kushner is no longer in the White House. The biggest example of this is what former Trump officials and GOP members are currently doing in Israel." --@gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/51998329
"Last week Rapture fiend/former Sec of State Mike Pompeo flew to Israel for an unprecedented meet-up with the soon-to-retire head of Mossad, Yossi Cohen. The move alarmed Israeli officials." --@gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/51998329
