  1. Australian here and sad to say to you all but Trump DID NOT commit treason. YES - we have asked this because if one of ours did what he did they'd be gone for life by now. In many countries Trump and his lackies would have been executed by about February 1st 2021. The thing is when your founding fathers wrote the US Constitution, which I genuinely think is one of humanities finest achievements, they chose to NOT include a few things. One of those things were the wide ranging abilities of Kings, Queens and their agents to use treason and sedition laws to execute people without trial. Basically since the dawn of civilisation treason or sedition has been used as a very quick way to get rid of people. Your founding fathers (and this is why I think they really did do something brilliant) basically said "NO we are putting an end to that nonsense and we will have a Government of the People, by the People, for the People." The tragedy of what's happened is that the system has gaps that can be taken advantage of and too many people thought the system of "checks and balances" would deal with them. America has never really found a way to deal with people like Nixon, Trump,....etc who take the gaps in your system and abuse their position. That's the real challenge for America - how do you find a way to get back to a Government of the People, by the People, for the People instead of the corporatized mess you now have where money is everything. Don't misunderstand I am not against capitalism but I am about having balance and YES we are having similar issues in Australia where corporate interests come first and "we the people" don't matter. FYI - I went to college in America on a sports scholarship. I genuinely like America, its people and its culture, but your politics has taken a nasty toxic turn that you need to deal with. Best of luck.

  3. Australian here and even I can answer that. Merrick Garland is an institutionalist which means he believes in protecting the institution above all else. Such people THINK or BELIEVE putting Trump in jail, just like putting Nixon in jail would weaken the institution of the President and make it less capable of doing its job no matter who sits in the Oval Office. This is not an American thing its the sort of thing nations and other entities have been doing for 100s if not 1,000s of years. This is the sort of mentality that made things like the Catholic church hide pedophile priests rather than dealing with them. This is why the military (of any nation) will hide and cover up atrocities. This is why corporate types like Mark Suckerberg has more PR people than the Washington Post has journalists AND YES somebody made that point recently. This is why the movie studios have covered up pedophiles, rapists, drug users, pregnant actresses and all sorts of other things among their people. THEY ARE ALL trying to protect the institution and its REPUTATION. The giant problem with this is that when it finally breaks down it breaks down catastrophically like it has for the Catholic Church, like it did for Harvey Weinstein, like it has done for a number of other Hollywood types and a number of sports stars and a number of professional sports teams. IT NEVER ENDS WELL. The real question America need to ask isn't if Trump should be in jail along with a bunch of people its a matter of how bad its going to hurt America when the crash finally happens.
