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 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.

      Read up on how Hitler took power in the first place.

      A lot of people hated him, but they hated other politicians more and decided that letting him have a go at it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

      If you thought a third party was going to come to the rescue in 2024 you have my abject sympathy.

        A third party had no chance of coming to the rescue in 2024 because everyone has attacked third parties in the U.S. for at least the three decades I’ve been alive, and I’m pretty sure for another few decades before that.

        Also, you’re conveniently ignoring the economic conditions of the Weimar Republic that made the rise of Nazism in Germany an inevitability. Just like all the libs ignoring the economic conditions in the U.S. that led to the rise of Trumpism.

      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?

          You and people like you are the problem, and you’re blaming the people who are being directly affected by the poor decisions you yourself are choosing to make.
