Here. No one has been proven to have been falsely prosecuted. Many plead guilty.

This is just gaslighting because Trump is desperate not to go down in history as the felon pedophile conman with the IQ of a grapefruit that he is. Trump is a criminal that commits stupid crimes and yet because he was born white and rich has essentially skated through in life. No amount of fraud will fix this and JD is a pile of shit with no values or morals.

Justice matters.

but at least with regard to Medicaid in California, not that big a deal. The Medicaid or Medi-Cal (as we call it in California) budget is well above 220 billion dollars making the 1.3 billion just a tiny drop in the state Medi-Cal budget.

So no, your Grandma living in California is not going to be kicked out of her home and living in a tent under an overpass so j6er's can live the good life; as much as Vance and others would like to see that happen.

is almost dead. Truly. All the values, principles and ethics that defined this once great democracy have been killed or severely injured. What is worse, it's been allowed to happen, and it is continuing on a daily basis.

Yes, the midterms are coming, and the next national election is coming, but I hate to think of the damage that will be done in the meantime. This needs to stop now - not in a few months or a few years - now.

At least 1,583 have been arrested and 1,270 of those individuals—80 percent—have already been convicted. Of the 1,270 convicted, 1,009 pleaded guilty—64 percent of all arrested, and 79 percent of all convictions. Another 221 were found guilty at trial by juries or judges, and the remaining 40 were convicted after a hybrid procedure known as a “stipulated trial,” at which the defendant made factual concessions without admitting to their legal significance.

Of the total 1,583 arrested, according to the department’s figures, 608—or 38 percent—were charged with either assaulting or impeding federal police officers. Of those that assaulted officers, 174 were charged with an enhanced version of the crime for using deadly or dangerous weapons or for inflicting bodily harm on the officer

A coconspirator was killed while committing a felony. It's letter of the law that all accomplices can be charged with felony murder.

Starting with Trump who told them to fight like hell and to take away the gun magnetometers.

Oh, wait. We don't have to imagine it. We're soaking in it. In hindsight he should have followed the law as you suggest. But then, why not just follow the law regardless?

that the lion's share of that $1.8 billion will end up in Trump's pocket?

Call it a hunch. 😉
