Why the cynicism? I’m sure the Justice Department’s Principal Deputy in Charge of (pardon my French) Sucking the Great Orange Monster’s Dick followed a very fair and balanced process in arriving at this conclusion.

That’ll teach him to do his job well in the service of the country. Because if that conflicts with fealty and service to the chosen one, either before or after he became so-called president with Russia’s help, then ya better watch out.

ETA: And you better not be in his line of sight or in a story on Fox News when he needs a target to attack. It just might end up being you.

Trump may be an inept coward, but goddamn if he shrinks from using the legal system to punish perceived political enemies. So maybe we should stop calling him a wannabe authoritarian. This is exactly what authoritarians do. We live in country ruled by an authoritarian regime.

Huh. How about that.

But the Trump DOJ is not interested in finding out more about this leak to Foxnews just days before Election2016 Will ONE TV pundit bring this into the discussion ? PLEASE!

And it will continue to get worse until it’s stopped, which better be soon. Because I think the goal of Trump, Barr, McConnell and the rest is to continue to ratchet it up until it can’t be stopped - at least, not without a second Revolutionary War.

In the 1950s or 1960s, when Franco ruled Spain, a Spanish diplomat said to a Swiss, “Switzerland is a landlocked country. Why do you have a Minister of the Marine?” The Swiss replied, “Why, in Spain, do you have a Ministry of Justice?”
