J.D. Vance Lays Out Plan to Sabotage Federal Law Enforcement Because Trump Was Arrested

Ohio Senator J.D. Vance has vowed to “grind [the Justice Department] to a halt” in response to the indictment of Donald Trump on charges related to his treatment of classified documents after leaving office.

Trump was arrested and arraigned in Miami on Tuesday. Vance posted a video from the steps of the Capitol earlier in the day declaring that he “will be holding all Department of Justice nominees … I think that we have to grind this department to a halt until [Attorney General] Merrick Garland promises to do his job and stop going after his political opponents.”




In a statement released by his Senate office, Vance carved out an exception to his blockade for “individuals nominated to the U.S. Marshals Service.” The impact of the freeze may also have been overstated by Vance, given that there are currently only two Biden administration nominations to the department awaiting confirmation in the Senate.

The former president has been charged with 37 federal criminal counts, including violations of the Espionage Act, conspiracy to obstruct justice, corruptly concealing a record or document, and concealing a document in a federal investigation. The charges stem largely from Trump’s alleged efforts to prevent the government from recovering the materials.

Read the indictment, you dickhead. You think he was caught jaywalking? And you are a former Marine??? Don’t you understand your orange Lord and Master endangered our national security and our MILITARY??? You are a pathetic wimp and disgraceful excuse for a Senator! I hope you move into the cell next door to your Orange King.

.........that Trump is being victimized because they're going after him for "very minor things," and that he doesn't think Trump did anything wrong at all. He's completely innocent and pure as the driven snow. I'm so embarrassed to live in the State that elected this moron, especially after beating a really great candidate in Tim Ryan. But that's Ohio now. Hillbillies everywhere, emboldened by Trump's racism, trying to recreate "Idiocracy."

They are a clear and present danger to the United States. We need to get all of them out of office and arrest their sorry asses.
