Trump appointees

I was disturbed to put it mildly by Bondi’s non answer but realized that this is a lost cause.
The constitution had a remedy that was not followed. The Senate could have convicted him and barred him from running for office again but failed.

Prosecutors could have kept on prosecuting after Trump won but seemingly unanimously believed doing so would be unconstitutional even though nothing in the constitution specifically does not prohibit it. But those with a lot more knowledge the me disagree with me.

The last chance to hold Trump accountable was the voters. We had the Democrats and Never Trump Republicans and the mainstream media bringing up this issue for four straight years(remember the “spectacular” televised Congressional hearings?). Voters who agreed that the election was stolen and other voters who thought Trump’s actions were bad but other issues were more important combined to set a precedent of getting bigly rewarded for trying to overturn an election. All we can do is live with the consequences of that precedent.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who's nominated to become the next health secretary, asked the federal government to revoke its authorization of all COVID-19 vaccines in May 2021, just as vaccinated Americans began returning to a sense of normalcy after pandemic lockdowns.

The request came via a citizen petition filed by Kennedy and Meryl Nass on behalf of Children's Health Defense, a group founded by Kennedy that advocates against the recommended vaccine schedule for children.

The petition, first reported by the New York Times, asked the Food and Drug Administration to "revoke Emergency Use Authorizations for existing COVID vaccines and refrain from approving and licensing them.

It came five months after then-President Donald Trump proudly announced the FDA's green light of the vaccine was imminent.

The FDA denied the petition in its response three months later, saying it found "no basis" in the petition to pull the vaccines from the market.

In December 2021, Kennedy falsely claimed the COVID-19 vaccine was "the deadliest vaccine ever made."

Days before Kennedy filed his May 2021 petition, the CDC had just announced that fully vaccinated Americans could go without masks because it believed at the time immunization reduced a person's infectiousness. The agency would later reverse that decision after outbreaks occurred involving vaccinated individuals.

Pressed by an NBC interviewer in November whether he would have blocked the authorization of the COVID-19 vaccine had he been in government at the time, Kennedy said, "I wouldn't have directly blocked it."

"I would have made sure that we had the best science, and there was no effort to do that at that time," he said.
