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.

    And soon there won’t be any Palestinians left. On the bright side, you’ll be able to stay at a Trump hotel in the Gaza Strip! Is it too early to congratulate ourselves?

      And soon there won’t be any Palestinians left.

      That was the course under Biden too… So, no course change there.

      On the bright side, you’ll be able to stay at a Trump hotel at the Gaza Strip!

      You know, we can still stop this right? Its time to start doing things that make you uncomfortable.

      Is it too salty to congratulate ourselves?

      What is amazing, is you somehow think Harris would have stopped any of this…

        Ah! I see! What’s happening now to the Palestinians would have happened either way. In that case, thank goodness we decided to make everything else demonstrably much worse as a means of not changing this outcome?
