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.

            Both sides aren’t the same because they’re just as bad, they’re the same because they work together. Dems haven’t made meaningful changes in a long time and I’m done supporting them while they do nothing. They are complicit.

              So, what’s your plan to stop Trump?

              Going to create a viable 3rd party in 24 months?

                Dems need to stand up to him and rally Americans behind them. If they don’t, they’re letting us know they’re siding with Trump over us and should be treated as such.
