'Should be terrifying to everyone': Prosecutor fired by Trump delivers blunt warning - eviltoast

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.

    The plan is to fight on a local level, call your elected reps and make them fight or catalog all the not fighting they are doing so we can primary their asses with receipts.

    I don’t think change is possible until after the boomers are gone, so until then Ill just show up to the midterms and do my part.

    But this party has to go, and I think they need to keep losing until people lose all hopes in them and then we can form a new grassroots party.

    Above all do not donate, if the elites own the party then the elites can pay for it too

      Wow.

      That’s the biggest pile of double talk I’ve ever seen.

      You’re going to show up at the midterms and vote, but no one should donate?

      And the boomers are going to be around for another ten years at least. But I’m sure that Trump and his MAGoos will hold off on any radical changes.

      I think at this point, the Boomers have gone all in on “We brought you into this world, and we can take you out of it.”

      As a generation, they have never cared about anyone but themselves. They seized financial and political power early, and they won’t let go until we pry it out of their cold, dead hands.

      But their numbers are dwindling now, and I think we might finally be at a point where – if the other generations band together – we can finally take their political power for ourselves.

        This is my hope, and also why im just not letting myself get angry this time around.

        There was never going to be any change or growth with this deadweight generation.

        This isn’t over and time is on our side.
