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 they should have been shouted at. The current system does not allow for third party viability as disappointing as that is.

      Uh-huh, and how is constantly voting for the lesser evil going for you? What did you seriously expect to happen? We’d just keep slipping towards fascism but never actually reach it?

        You and people like you are the problem, and you’re blaming the people who are being directly affected by the poor decisions you yourself are choosing to make.

          The fact that this is constantly the response from libs being called out is honestly the reason I have given up. I’ve spent the last decade being politically active, trying to motivate Americans to vote in their own self-interest for things that will actually improve their lives, and I’ve received nothing but insults and assumptions from centrists who’ve never done a damn thing to prevent the collapse we’re witnessing now.

          So yeah, fuck it. My informed opinion after campaigning for third parties and leftists for years is that Americans deserve everything that is going to happen to us. You didn’t want a democracy, and now you don’t have one. Congrats!

        Is it the lesser evil if it’s on the same team as the greater evil?

            Honestly, it’s hard to fault politically disconnected people who feel that way. The democrats are just the ratchet strap that keeps us from going any further left while the republicans drag us farther right. The GOP also has a literal firehose of constant media drenching the working class while the democrats just suck on the corporate peepee. I voted for harris this time because it was the lesser evil but i am starting to understand how someone who doesn’t pay attention winds up voting for trump.
