OK this what one of hte Democrats needs tobring up either in a hearing or on one of the news shows (if a news show I would love to see them do it on Fox).
The gist of it is to point out that the Republicans assert that no crime was committed because Trump was not successful. Once current events are over, will the Republicans next cause be to fight to get the shoe bomber out of prison? After all, while he attempted to light a bomb in his shoe, he was in fact not successful and he did not manage to blow up the bomb. According to the Republican ideology, the shoe bomber did in fact not commit a crime. Will the next meme be #freetheshowbomber?
Link Trump and his minions to the shoe bomber case and you can easily make a correlation that anybody should be able to understand if they are buying the Rethug line - no crime was committed.

(14,537 posts)shoot someone in the head, by republican logic I could not be tried. I didn't ask them to murder someone, just shoot them. No. no. no. not murder, just shoot them in the head.
Republicans are relying on semantics.

Example: "I am NOT robbing this bank! Now give me all of the money!"
Seriously. This is what rethugs want us to believe. I feel so sorry for anyone on jury duty right now. The cognitive dissonance must be unbearable when considering all the crimes that are being committed at the highest levels of our government.
