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.
I never deliver a blunt warning cuz I always pass that shit after two puffs.
I need more than Half the states to declare that Trump is a national emergency, and then set legislation to limit all Federal Authority in state level Justice Matters AND mark federal government actions, laws, and executive orders as null/void or something like that. We have to take power away from the Federal Government if it can’t be checked and balanced.

Um, isn’t that the main point why Trump did it?
It’s like the entire liberal world has been conditioned to act like the things that are very obviously happening may happen … not right now though … at some future unknown date … so you don’t need to worry about it really. Don’t rock the boat and certainly don’t miss work tomorrow… just continue consuming and hold tight while someone else presumably sorts it out.
It’s like a civilization-wide bystander effect.
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice
This is what pisses me off about all the people who kept talking about how the Democrats were failing to get voters engaged in 2024.
If the Dems weren’t doing the job, what was keeping you from stepping up?
Its like there was a fire going on and people were complaining the firemen weren’t doing enough instead of jumping in and helping.
The Harris campaign spent a billion and a half dollars on “getting voters engaged” and she still lost anyway. All the phone-banking and door-knocking in the world can’t overcome the fundamental problem of refusing to adopt policies the people actually want!
So please, explain to me exactly what the fuck kind of “stepping up” you expect randos from the Internet, who had no ability to affect the campaign’s platform, to actually fucking do?!
I’m not a politician. I developed an entirely different set of skills. Throwing away my career at the potential of reskilling is absurd.
And Dems weren’t doing their job. I’m tired of people pretending like that’s acceptable. I canvass. I get people ready to vote. I do my part.
I can’t even tell you the last time a Dem policy benefitted me directly. What I have in common with them really just boils down to them being the only opposition right now. I pushed Harris like we had to and I’ll never forgive them for running such an unlovable candidate. They knew what they were doing. The second there’s another serious option I’m gone. Dems complete lack of opposition makes them complicit in everything that’s happening.
Probably the part where I didn’t receive over a billion dollars in donations to actually get media attention. A lot of people have been campaigning to get people to ditch the Democrats because they’re controlled corporate stooges for the last few decades, I think you were shouting at them for supporting third parties at the time.
And they should have been shouted at. The current system does not allow for third party viability as disappointing as that is.
Uh-huh, and how is constantly voting for the lesser evil going for you? What did you seriously expect to happen? We’d just keep slipping towards fascism but never actually reach it?
Is it the lesser evil if it’s on the same team as the greater evil?
I realize people have difficulty parsing language sometimes, but she did not say “may signal” she said “signals”. She said he is doing exactly what you both are saying he is doing. Basically: You appear to be in violent agreement with her.
The “may” only comes in that if you commit acts of treason, etc. on behalf of dear leader, you may or may not show up on his radar.

“Glass houses,” buddy. Check the sentence again:

The future/hypothetical part of it that the person you replied to was complaining about wasn’t the “signals” part, it was the “may go unpunished” part. In other words, the legal expert in question isn’t in denial of what Trump’s pardons “signal;” he (not “she,” BTW – you misread that, too) is in denial of the fact that the effect being signaled is already currently happening.
Someone’s gonna be killed by one of these J6 yoyos. Could be a SC justice after a ruling that goes against Trump, could be one of those key people from the last administration that Trump quite openly dropped security details for.
Will Trump go the extra mile and pardon them? Will his party full of Christian Conservatives ignore their God’s commandment “Thou Shall Not Kill” when the victim is a political opponent who they don’t like? Of course they will.
At least three of them have already been re-arrested for other crimes.
One was killed by the cops, too
To be fair, that may be one of the ones I was thinking of.
Lots of warnings and recommendations to be scared.
Very few saying what to do.
The only way to take on a bully is to bloody his nose.
French would argue that the guillotine is the more civilized way to do it… 
This 100%
