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.

    It’s pretty wild when you think about government “scandals”.

    Democrat and Liberal “scandals” are often trivial shit that would only work in tabloid magazines (blow jobs, tan coloured suites, the fact that they are a woman or black, what’s on the laptop of their kid, etc.)

    Meanwhile, Conservative and Republican scandals are more like treason, deals resulting in mass destruction of the environment, wars, threats to the free press, the stripping of civil liberties, institutionalized oppression against various minority groups (and women), felonies, rape or child molestation.

    breathes

    Publically supporting dictators, publically supporting Nazis, firing of staff designed to protect the country from government oversight or corruption, etc…

    What the fuck happened in the world for both sides to receive equal outrage?
