The Destruction: DOJ Edition One of the intended consequences of President Trump’s politicization of the Justice Department is to leave behind a weakened, overwhelmed, decimated organization that simply can’t do its job. The hollowing out of the DOJ by purging nonpartisan career attorneys, making life intolerable for those who remain, and replacing them with loyalists…

“In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. And it has not.”—Luke Ganger, brother of Renee Good
Oh, but it has changed the country.
What it hasn’t changed is the administration. I had high hopes for the DHS bill yesterday, but the wishy-washy House couldn’t come out with an outright condemnation of the agency’s actions, not just in Minnesota, but all over the country. Unless and until hard requirements are put on that agency and they demonstrate compliance with those hard requirements, they shouldn’t get one more dime.

A trial we heard nothing about (or not much). The judge let him defend himself. The guy is not all there and his request for counsel is being granted.
Once the verdict was read in open court, Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen as his daughter yelled from the audience, “Oh my god, he’s trying to kill himself, he’s trying to kill himself! Someone stop him, please!”
Not in this story, but his comment afterwards was basically, if I’d been an inch higher, nobody would have to worry about anything.

The depopulating of the Justice Department has an additional benefit. In the event some non-trumplican, like maybe a DEMOCRAT, gets into the White House, there won’t be the staff needed to prosecute the literally hundreds of toadies and tens of thousands of Trump’s crimes. And staffing up again will take several years. In which he’s free to keep criming, grifting, hiding money offshore, and riling up is very base base.

“Trump offered no evidence, just pure racist invective.”
Trump, racist? No way. He’s never shown any indication. Don King was a good buddy.

Yesterday, the House passed a spending bill reopening the government after a few days of partial shutdown. The bill funds the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, State, and Treasury until this fall. The Department of Homeland Security, however, is funded only for an additional two weeks under the package.

government lawyers have been unable to keep up with the court orders demanding that detainees be released.
The function of the Chief Executive’s office – i.e. the president – is not to simply shuck people into jails. It’s to make sure the entire government system works smoothly and fairly. Trump’s incarceration rate is a sign of his failure, though that is the result he wants.
Trump’s “business” depends on no meaningful law enforcement. Arbitrariness is criminal freedom.
