… and Stupidity

Trump/Bondi DOJ is working to bring to justice those who weaponized January 6th, 2021. No statute of limitations will hinder DOJ's efforts to bring justice to those who weaponized persecution of American citizens. January 6th 2026 is NOT a deadline for DOJ to bring prosecutions. https://t.co/G53BdMDk8P

I’m thinking of this in terms of this response:

AAG Dhillon, “no statute of limitations will hinder DOJ” is not accurate as a general claim. The default federal rule is a 5-year statute of limitations for non-capital offenses, unless Congress created a specific longer window. Capital offenses are different, but that is not the…

Because I don’t read this as a “general claim,” I read it as a categorical one. AAG Dhillon does not say the applicable statute of limitations doesn’t run on January 6, 2026. She’s saying any such statute will be ignored in the name of retribution. What AAG Dhillon is publicly declaring is that malicious prosecutions will happen despite the barriers of the law. She is declaring that the law will not get in the way of criminal and civil investigations, that the DOJ is acting as a vigilante, not seeking justice, but seeking vengeance.

There is a deadline for bringing criminal prosecutions. That’s the law. That’s not the sum total of the law. But the statement: “No statute of limitations will hinder DOJ's efforts to bring justice to those who weaponized persecution of American citizens,” is a categorical statement that law doesn’t apply, only the power of government does. Which, in normal times, would see her cleaning out her desk before tomorrow morning.

This not the way you run a railroad.
