It's been almost 10 years since I wrote my very first story on the Russia collusion hoax.

And there are challenges with holding people accountable.

People have to be held accountable.

If they're not...

Again, it's sort of good night for the country.

If you can engage in this type of unbelievable coup against a duly elected president and have nothing happen to you, you are a joke of a country.

But there are challenges, including that there's usually a five-year statute of limitations on the crimes that were committed.

We did not even learn how much of a global or grand conspiracy this was in some cases until last year, but after they really began running the operation in 2016.

But you also have a DOJ full of career employees who are unfortunately not very good at being impartial and nonpartisan in their jobs.

And I mean by that, that when Joe Biden and Merrick Garland said, like, let's see how we can go after Trump, they all said, we'd love to, sirs.

And in the case of, okay, we want to hold people accountable for destroying the reputation of the FBI and Department of Justice, everyone's like, I don't want to have anything to do with that.

And so you have very few career people involved.

But you also have problems with the outside conservative legal community.

You think about how the liberal legal community kind of came up with all the ideas about how they were gonna put Trump in prison and how they were gonna bankrupt him and anybody who knew him.

And they would publish in the Washington Post, hey, what if we kicked Trump off the ballot using this 14th Amendment argument?

And they did try to do that.

It went all the way to the Supreme Court and it was shut down.

It was such a bad argument

that contrary to what the media told you, that even Ketanji Brown Jackson was like, well, this seems like you're just trying to disenfranchise tens of millions of people.

That's not how the Washington Post treated it.
