“Judges simply don’t believe the representations that are being made by United States attorneys, assistant United States attorneys and the like,” a former federal judge said. “I don’t think ... in the history of jurisprudence in the United States, we’ve ever seen anything close to this.”

Absolutely. And it’s obvious even to laypeople like myself. There are people in the DOJ and in Trump’s inner circle that should disbarred if it applies, and go to prison for their crimes. To say we’ve never seen anything like this is an enormous understatement.

It's frightening that everyone agrees what's happening is dangerous and illegal but we are seeing such a slow reaction to all of it that by the time courts even make a decision the damage is done, lives are lost, peoples lives are irreparably changed for the worse.

The damage this sick, twisted man has done throughout the government, not just at DOJ - will take generations to repair, if not longer. The Access Hollywood tape should have ended him as a candidate. I'm 73, but I fear for the younger generation who have to endure the hell hole he's made.

The lying involved in this administration at every level is unprecedented. I hope something is learnt from this very sorry chapter in our history. However, history suggests that it won’t be as generational memory seems to short out fast & we make the same mistakes again. This is a doozy though!
