No one seems able to stop Trump and his gang. And Repugs in Congress do not care or encourage him on.

BREAKING: Patty Hartman, a 17-year former Justice Department official who was fired Monday by AG Pam Bondi, is warning of rising political retribution inside the DOJ:

“There used to be a line, used to be a very distinct separation between the White House and the DOJ, because one should not interfere with the work of the other. That line is very definitely gone,” she told CBS News.

Against these freaks. If there’s no accountability, this will happen again.

All of the RW propaganda sites, Heritage Foundation, Liberty University, etc. And investigate every person in this administration.

There’s no going back to normal after what’s been allowed to happen.

slow walking in prosecuting the theft of national security secrets and committing an actual insurrection.

By waiting so long, Trump built on his popularity and fund raised like crazy. His popularity had hit an all time low when he left. That was the time to nail him.

Of course Biden didn’t want to weaponize the DOJ, but political reality should have dictated the urgency to make sure Trump would face some consequences for his crimes.
