Simply put, because the federal government’s power comes from how it allocates money, not from any document that actually gives it power.
The federal government is responsible for a) foreign relations (including national defense), b) handling interstate disputes (including interstate crimes) and c) implementing a national budget. There are a few other things it does, but those are the big three.
Of course, the last one allows it to say things like “pass this law to let us handle xyz or you get no money for it”, and most of the time, states will pass the law, as long as it’s for fundamental shit like roads, bridges, hospitals, food safety, etc. But for things like prosecuting crimes within a single state (which this is), the feds can’t do shit.

You're welcome to provide evidence that they support the KKK.
You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong they are. Dems aren't perfect but by far they are the ones enacting policy that benefit the most people.

> MTA officials attacked the findings and argued the new third track on the Long Island Rail Road’s Main Line in Nassau shows the MTA is delivering projects on time and on budget.
> “You have to be careful with that subculture,” Lieber told The Post editorial board in February, derisively referring to the researchers. “Those people get a lot of their cost information from the Internet.”
this, by the way, refers to the transit costs project, a comprehensive years long study by professional researchers as to why the MTA spends so much money when no other global agency does:

I think I would be more concerned with KKK supporters in the government (see Biden and Hillary Clinton) than a small fringe voting block.
Again, let me make this simple for you since this is obviously what you need, BOTH SIDES SUCK!

That's because they don't have a case. There are many Republican appointed judges trump's lawyers tried his appeals on and many of them also shot him down. To take down a corrupt politician is a D.A. dream if the evidence presents itself, it doesn't matter if they are democrat or republican.

They never got to court because they are of the same political persuasion

I've never seen KKK or Nazis at a Biden rally, Trump on the other hand ...
There's no other reason than being dense to think both sides are the same.

The Democrats elected one of his biggest supporters, Joe Biden. You realize as much as you think things change, they really don't. Both sides suck, quit being a jackass.

I guess they have better lawyers then Trump, or they don't lie to their lawyers. I'm all for indicting any politician, the thing is there has to be some proof presented in court by penalty of perjury.

It's almost like things change over time. You realize they only show up for one political party now right?

You do realize that the laws aren’t being applied to everyone…right? AOC would be indicted then, so would Obama, so would a Hunter Biden, etc. This is political, this isn’t about the law. This is just opening up a can of worms but you get that …you just hate Trump. He’s a loser, let it go.
In NYS 3000 campaign’s violated the same laws Trump violated….indictments? ZERO

Delusion is asking for some evidence and then when provided just calling names. Nazis and KKK members? You realize the Democrat party elected an actual KKK leader, right?

Everyone is fair game, break the law and you are fair game. Being president only gets you immunity while in office. Hold your legislators responsible for the laws they create with the influence of PAC money. It will be disastrous if the law is not applied to everyone, presidents included. The country can not be held hostage because of trumps cult.

All the pseudo-experts here can zip it up. In some areas, states have sovereignty, and others, the federal government supersedes. Either/or thinking isn't welcome here. Neither is ignorance.
Here, the House has no superseding authority.

Lol, you asked for proof and then when given some evidence you just change to something else. Again, a low quality argument. None of what you said is actually true though.

Tell me you don’t understand without telling me you don’t understand.
Super excited that all twelve of the anthropologists are happy with him. That probably makes you very happy while Bragg shirks his duties on real crimes including things like DWI and murder. Those are quality of life crimes that impact the day to day lives of folks. Most people could not care less about some item from Egypt that might have been stolen a hundred years ago.
