      Nah, the fix is in. Trump’s administration doesn’t even pretend to be on the up and up. Openly corrupt and the conservative wing has lost its mind more than usual to approve the behavior, whether it’s in courts or congress.

      They are going to toss her in prison for daring to inconvenience dear leader.

        This justice department is very incompetent. The only political prosecution they ever got to a trial I can remember is the guy who threw a sandwich at one of their thugs, and the jury threw that shit out.

        Everything else has been dismissed because this is the worst bunch of lawyers to ever lawyer.

        2 years ago, career attorneys with decades of experience would drop everything to get a job in the justice department because it was so prestigious. Now they’re having trouble recruiting kids straight out of law school graduating at the bottom of their class.

        And federal judges are DONE with these clowns. It’s not just a presumption of innocence for the defendant. The justices’s default assumptions are increasingly that the justice department is actively lying.

    The GOP just HATES the law. They must despise having a Constitution which establishes a country of laws since they allow this kind of autocratic dictator shit to keep going on under their seal of approval.

      Wilholt’s law:

      Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    Hasn’t he given her enough money? You already know she’s unforgivably litigious, so you give her another reason to sue, after the judge inevitably throws out this case, like they’ve thrown out every one of these cases?

    Threatening a mosquito with a tank. This is so obviously djt threatening the entire public that nothing serious can come out of it. This is the circus they voted for.

    If hell is real (fat chance), I wish Trump and all his cronies to rot for eternity there stubbing their toes on a coffee table and stepping on Legos every day when they get out of bed each morning.

    It seems that a surefire way for the doj to open an investigation is to be a whistle blower of any sort, and the surefire way for the doj to NOT open an investigation is to be the target of whistle blowers of any sort.

    What good is being president if you can’t instruct your justice department to investigate the woman you raped? Excuse me! I thought this was America!

        Well corporate media outlets held a pretense to toe the line and try to keep social democratic movements from gaining popularity by pretending all is normal, all is well.

      CNN is owned by a MAGA billionaire shithead and the use of the word “accuser” instead of “sexual assault survivor” is likely intentional.

        Make corporate media responsible for spreading misinformation again.

        MCMRFSMA!

        Rolls off the tongue like a fine … rusty school bus.
