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.

    The Harris campaign spent a billion and a half dollars on “getting voters engaged” and she still lost anyway. All the phone-banking and door-knocking in the world can’t overcome the fundamental problem of refusing to adopt policies the people actually want!

    So please, explain to me exactly what the fuck kind of “stepping up” you expect randos from the Internet, who had no ability to affect the campaign’s platform, to actually fucking do?!

      Idk, maybe voting against the dude who straight up said he would be a dictator and you’d never vote again?

        That wasn’t enough for the grandparent commenter, who was trying to shame people for not getting other people to vote too.
