Summary

Former federal prosecutor Sara Levine, fired by Trump, warned on 60 Minutes that the Justice Department is “under attack.”

Levine, who prosecuted January 6 rioters, said she was fired for upholding the law.

Legal expert Peter Keisler criticized Trump’s pardons of Capitol rioters, arguing they signal that crimes committed in support of Trump’s agenda may go unpunished.

These actions undermine the rule of law and discouraging accountability for political violence.

    Probably, but the point being made was “Oh no! The genocide is WORSE under Trump”, and it’s objectively false.

    Trump is mostly worse for people in the US, which is what your problem is. You likely don’t care until it impacts you, personally. Which is the same problem with MAGAts. Whole leopards and faces thing.

      I wonder what the Ukrainians, Canadians, et al. would have to say about this…

        Learning a lesson they needed to learn much sooner: Its very dangerous to be an ally of the US. Ask the Kurds. Or the Vietnamese.
