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.

Um, isn’t that the main point why Trump did it?
It’s like the entire liberal world has been conditioned to act like the things that are very obviously happening may happen … not right now though … at some future unknown date … so you don’t need to worry about it really. Don’t rock the boat and certainly don’t miss work tomorrow… just continue consuming and hold tight while someone else presumably sorts it out.
It’s like a civilization-wide bystander effect.
This is what pisses me off about all the people who kept talking about how the Democrats were failing to get voters engaged in 2024.
If the Dems weren’t doing the job, what was keeping you from stepping up?
Its like there was a fire going on and people were complaining the firemen weren’t doing enough instead of jumping in and helping.
I’m not a politician. I developed an entirely different set of skills. Throwing away my career at the potential of reskilling is absurd.
And Dems weren’t doing their job. I’m tired of people pretending like that’s acceptable. I canvass. I get people ready to vote. I do my part.
I can’t even tell you the last time a Dem policy benefitted me directly. What I have in common with them really just boils down to them being the only opposition right now. I pushed Harris like we had to and I’ll never forgive them for running such an unlovable candidate. They knew what they were doing. The second there’s another serious option I’m gone. Dems complete lack of opposition makes them complicit in everything that’s happening.
AOC and Omar have entered the chat.
If you don’t like the Dems that are in power now, you can primary them. If we get another election.
We haven’t had a real primary in a long time.
AOC is a joke. I will actually not support that in any way. Dems are just as capable for what’s happening. They’re actively complicit.
So, what’s your plan?
Just roll over and let Trump do what he wants?
Create a viable 3rd party in 24 months?
Give me some options.
Just roll over and let Trump do what he wants
That’s exactly what Dems are doing right now. Voting Dem won’t save you because they’re on the same team. They have the same sponsors and they’re both more beholden to them, than you or I.
Probably the part where I didn’t receive over a billion dollars in donations to actually get media attention. A lot of people have been campaigning to get people to ditch the Democrats because they’re controlled corporate stooges for the last few decades, I think you were shouting at them for supporting third parties at the time.
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?
Is it the lesser evil if it’s on the same team as the greater evil?
BoTh siDes ARe thE Same?
How is that working out for you?
