Discussion: 'Authoritarian' White House Puts DoJ Officials In Service of Political Agenda

“Nobody is above the law in this country, and if the Justice Department appears to be operating on behalf of the president, those are benchmarks of authoritarian regimes.”

And it is rapidly becoming the benchmark of the Trump regime. Trump and his sycophants like Steve Miller, Jeff Sessions and many others are all to quickly reshaping our federal judiciary, if not the whole federal government into an Orwellian model where truth means nothing; where is up is down, right is wrong and reality is whatever the “dear leader” and his minions say it is.

This must not be allowed to happen!

It’s like Trump’s transgressive lying. He will do this to show they can and fuck all the rest of ya.

And the Republicans in Congress shrug, while many of their members assist in the criticism and dismantling of the FBI and DOJ, and the reassembly of both as purely political tools and weapons.

Isn’t the takeaway that Sessions is too terrified of reporters’ questions to do these briefings, so he sends out some opportunistic little lickspittle?

Fundamentally, I don’t think Donald Trump comprehends and/or recognizes the notion of inappropriate politicization. It’s my company now, why shouldn’t I run it how I want?

Shit like this is why I’ve never had any interest in businessmen (successful or, uh, special like Donald) in the Oval Office.

He is as unable to understand the idea as a dog would be in seeing a juice squeezer.

He enjoys appalling and disgusting people. Especially disgusting and degrading everything around him. He gets deep enjoyment from that.

I think he’s attracted to filth and I think those hookers peed all over him.

Well, it’s not like the Keebler Elf has any credibility to stand at the podium… all they’re doing now is continuing to debase the DOJ.

Many people are saying that. Many, many people – believe me.

I read this at Rawstory and it made the most sense to me that anything I’ve read about him has - he is just like this and this is the affect he’s having.

Also, Principal Associate Deputy sounds like a title you give to someone instead of a raise.

If I were a younger person, that article would have completely depressed me. Because I’m older, I know with certainty that we will collectively rise above him. May he rot in hell.
