If there is proof that she is a Russian asset, why did the Democrats not oppose here and use legal measures against it?
probably for the same reason they took no measures against trump when they accused him of the same.
What is that reason?
I don’t know. But democrats spent the past 8 years accusing trump of being a russian asset, then chose not to bring it up during either impeachment, nor did biden’s justice department didn’t charge him on that front.
In practice they seem to think that delaying a weapons shipment, or not returning documents to the presidential library were stronger cases to pursue. There’s surely a reason for that.
Either the claims about russia are false, or the evidence is not actionable. I can’t think of another reasonable explanation for their actions.
It’s lack of direct evidence. Trump operates like a mafia boss. No paper trail, always use euphemisms for direct action, use intermediaries for voice communication. That’s why everyone around him got caught and prosecuted, but he didn’t. The entire case would be hearsay interpretations. Federal guidelines wouldn’t let a prosecutor take that to trial. Usually in that case they go for intimidation to get a confession, which doesn’t work on a megalomaniac narcissist.
