On Friday, another stunning sign of the complete White House takeover of the Justice Department arrived: President Donald Trump delivered a speech to DOJ’s staff, declaring his intent to go after “rogue actors and corrupt forces” from the previous administration, the press, and in American society, and to transform a Justice Department that, he contended,…

I sincerely hope that Merrick Garland is one of the first people he goes after.
If Garland isn’t, then we can conclude that he was in the tank for TMF all along.

Well, we now very clearly have the big, malodorous rotten banana in what HE has made our banana republic.

The fascist Trump regime has in place its corrupt lawyers at DOJ and Gestapo at the FBI. They are consolidating control of the military. The U.S. is rapidly devolving into a dictatorship.

Don’t attribute to Conspiracy that which is more easily explained as Timid Incompetence, including that of Biden for not firing Garland and appointing a Tiger as AG.

Those who are being attacked can simply go loudly on record as claiming they will depose the All of the Attacking Players Themselves, starting with Trump, who claims to be an innocent victim and so a Plaintiff. Under Oath he tends to crumble. •••• Also, Mackenzie Scott should be paying for necessary legal fees. She’s loaded and spending her money for good.

Important note: This was NOT the working DOJ staff - they were not invited - it was a hand-picked collection of Trump toadies and ass-kissers…what the F was Mike Flynn doing there???

Hell no. He is why we have the orange turd in the White House. And yes, Biden bears ultimate responsibility; as President the buck stopped with him.

Hell hath no fury like a wounded narcissist.
Benedict Donald is going to take a lot of victory laps and maybe a few scalps too before this is over. The bigger problem is what his merry pranksters and institutional assassins are doing in the meantime.

Oh yes. He most certainly deserves it. More could have done by him to prevent much of what we are experiencing. Rip that mother f*cker right off his donut cushion as he’s pushing papers around on his desk and just give him the full fascist throttle.

Such an erudite response. Did you learn that in grade school? On the playground?
Garland was totally the wrong pick for the times we are in. I’ll just say it but every time I saw him he made me sick. His voice trembled as he spoke, he had that deer in the headlights look about him, and he was weak at a time when we seriously needed strength. And here we are!

Well, I’d figure that if all the charges against Individual 1 were completely bogus, the grand jury wouldn’t have indicted him.
You know, like with Andy McCabe.
