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.

        Not what I asked.

        I asked, was he really opposing fascism? You know, the guy who is the reason for a false flag invasion, and the PATRIOT Act? The orchestrator of enhanced interrogation? The founder of Gitmo? Creator of prisoner rendition?

          He was voting for Harris, not Trump.

          And now answer my question. What’s your great plan?

            So, you think a fascist voting against another fascist is, in fact, voting to oppose fascism?

            Boy, are you naive…

              So, your plan is do nothing.

              Sorry, but I’m tired of you and your keyboard crusading.

              Post something when you have an actual plan
