When the worst case scenario is true. And yet, a Trump-appointed federal judge has halted the DOJ investigation. It underscores that democracy is in grave peril.
Donald Trump exposed how fragile our Constitutional democracy is and how America has been lying to itself that it can't happen here. This crime is so egregious a lot of Americans, including in the press, are still refusing to believe it This is a REAL conspiracy, and it makes me wonder if all the crazy conspiracies aren't right wing chaff intentionally meant to confuse the public and just write it off. Another version of "both sides do it" only it's "both sides have crazy conspiracy theories" when 90% of them come from the right.
We have a Constitutional Republic. Find the word democracy in the Constitution. Democracy is a threat to the freedom of 49.9% of the people. A Republic protects the 49.9% from the whims of the 50.1% by legal processes, not fleeting whims of the impulsive masses. Regardless how many times people repeat 'Democracy' it doesn't make it so.
I don’t understand why he is able to select some arbitrary federal judge in any part of the country to intervene on his behalf. Making a ruling that is totally illegal. This is just absolute bullshit. Put this prick behind bars now before he does something really harmful.
... especially when there's already a federal case in West Palm Beach, where a judge signed the warrant and approved the subpoena etc! This was the worst example of judge-shopping, considering this amenable unqualified Trump appointee sits in a single-judge district, so there was no "draw the short straw."
Additionally, all Presidential Records Act cases must be filed in the DC Circuit; it says so right in the law.
I am hoping all the unqualified, ABA rejected, rubber-stamped Judges get high enough profile cases to be exposed as the impeachable lap dogs they are. Potentially hamstringing the DOJ over paper thin reasoning that bears not a scintilla of actual law. But just like the gop in general making things up to spin into whole cloth idiocy just got their mascot.
The longer this clown can keep having "rallies", spewing lies and ginning up his cult the worse this is going to get! I just don't understand why he's allowed to walk freely. The clock is ticking on just how unsafe the US is becoming minute by minute.
With each passing day it becomes more and more apparent that Donald J. Trump is nothing more than a thief and a thug and a traitor who ran a glorified RICO operation out of our White House at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
All that really happened on January 20, 2021 at noon was that the headquarters for that RICO operation was moved to NARA-Lago, along with a cache of highly classified documents.
Former Secretary of Defense William Cohen recently said that if he had taken those documents to his home after he left government, he'd be in handcuffs right now. And I find it particularly disconcerting to be in agreement with William Barr about Trump's criminal conduct and the abject stupidity of this Trumper judge's ruling, given Barr's demonstrated disdain for the rule of law while he was the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.
Does anyone else think that the country whose nuclear secrets Trump stole was Israel? And that the buyer of those secrets was Saudi Arabia? And that the price was $1,000,000,000 with an agent's fee of $1,000,000,000 for son-in-law Jared?
I do.
(Also, I am very tired of Bill Barr's hypocritical fat Mouseketeer face on TV. Can we all agree to please change the channel or turn off the TV when he appears? And to tell the network we have done so? Really, he is one of the very worst Trump alumni and deserves NO rehabilitation.)
This sends chills up and down my spine. This man is a criminal, is clearly dangerous yet his MAGA cult and the #corruptGOP continues to defend him. The judge that issued the ruling needs to be impeached, removed from the bench and charged with conspiracy after the fact.
The appointment of a "speciall master" makes me suspicious. Is the orange nazi going to skate by again? I suspect any confidential info has already been photo-copied for Vlad, Rump's dictator pal.

can't currently edit my comments, but I meant to type "single-judge district"
Don't assume he hasn't already done something awful we haven't found out about yet.

Travel safe and have fun!
