    I’m fairly confident Bovino doesn’t know what happened at the end of WW2.

      Almost Nothing.

      US had <0.2% conviction rate of war criminals, <1% of "major war criminals. Look it up, <200 convicted and actually punished of 100,000. Fascist war criminals is one of the lowest prosecution rates of all time. Very safe criminal activity apparently.

      They gave many of the Nazis jobs, land, and positions in government and the UN. Nuremberg was a complete joke for publicity.

      If US history is anything to go by, they will get off with 0 consequences. Just like WW2 and the civil war. The US needs a significant change to deal with it, like trial-less minimum life in prison for all ICE agents or it will be literally the same shit cycle of fascism.

        Yeah the trials were mostly for show. NSDAP members remained in power for decades after the end of WW2. The Red Army Faction/Baader Meinhof gang were a direct consequence of the lack of reckoning there.
