The Special Counsel knows how to take care of himself Jack Smith already said he would retire or resign before Jan 20 That probably includes his whole team. He’s a lot smarter than Trump ever will be

So we really are going to become a banana republic. We will lose so much respect around the world. It actually negatively impacts our national security. Who will trust us besides our enemies? Will Republicans ever grow a spine.

Americans voted for this debacle. They had the chance to move on from a government of criminals, and they decided to let it rip a second time instead. The US will emerge poorer, more provincial, and a less dynamic country from a 2nd Trump admin. Less democratic, and not a nation of laws.

This breaks my heart! The Capital police will NEVER have their day in court! Trump will pardon all the TERRORISTS! I have urged people to NOT assemble in protest, especially BLM! Trump tried to unleash the military on these people & Milley stopped him! No one this time to stop him!

Also assembling a team to hunt for “fraud” in the 2020 election. This will be the latest example of the sycophants telling the emperor that he is, in fact, wearing clothes.

#Democracy only exists as a result of the principle of segregation of powers. When the powers are no longer segregated and spread out over the different branches, judicial independence is taken away, the people loose their control and a country ceased to be a real democracy.

The targeting probably includes career (non-political-appointee) prosecutors who worked on the cases too, and who wouldn't generally be resigning when the administration changes.

Exactly, innocent career civil servants who were just faithfully executing their jobs. Despite the fact that “the voters wanted this” (they didn’t) any indifference to the damage to those peoples’ lives is not OK. People need to speak out against it.

(cont) only wins this election by less than 2%,not a landslide; Trump's claim that DOJ cases against were not only "frequent" they are FALSE; Biden did NOT just investigate Republicans--thats a false claim; & crime is actually coming down under Biden. Pleez start reporting with some integrity.

Please start reporting with credibility & point out to your readers that these claims Trump/Leavitt are making are either not the truth or not the whole truth. As journalists that is your credential. E.g. Bill Barr did investigate claims of 2020 election fraud & said there was none, Trump (cont)

Not only did the democrats fail to prosecute any of the treasonous politicians that attempted to overthrow our country 4 years ago, they did something much worse. They started the process but waffled uselessly giving right wing propaganda about political witch hunts credence.

When the mob reminds you that you are the enemy of the people and you are rounded up and herded off to the American version of Dachau I hope you have a moment of clarity as the doors to your cattle car slam shut behind you.

Prosecutors and judges: "We are not sure if we should prosecute and sentence a former president who decided to run again and got elected this time" Trump: "I am gonna fire and go after everyone I don't like!" I hope all those judges and prosecutors are sure now. Bit late, though.

Can this really be called breaking news? I mean, let's be honest here, he's been telling us that since he got indicted and it only got worse when he was campaigning. What in his past behavior made you think he was only kidding about it?

Can he? He’s not over the DOJ as President. Right!? Just making sure we’re keeping checks and balances here. And why did this investigation take so long? They either had the proof of wrongdoing or not. Now times up 🤦‍♀️

Oh no they’re not going to “weaponize” DOJ or punish longstanding civil servants for doing their JOBS at all, are they? Wake up now. Otherwise a shit ton of innocent civil servants will be attacked and possibly careers destroyed. These people are fascist. This behavior is it, exactly.

You won’t hear crickets. You’ll hear a bunch of noise from Trump’s corrupt DOJ as they fabricate “evidence” that the 2020 election was fraudulent and validate the Dear Leader’s obsession.

If all of those people resign before January 20, how will he fire them? Will they investigate all the judges who ruled against him in 2020, including members of the Supreme Court?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU AND YOUR WRITERS who don't bother to include past and present FACTS and continue to omit key points regarding Rumps false claims, especially that your OWN WRITERS already wrote about and disproved earlier!? #Sanewashing at it's height www.emptywheel.net/2024/11/23/w...

And no doubt, his paid lackeys will claim the election was "stolen". There will only be the law according to trump, and America will implode. Normalising trump and the lunatics and traitors in the republican party, will come home to roost for the entire population.

Welp, there's another layer of normalcy & the rule of law being stripped away right before our eyes. He's definitely going to have all his perceived 'enemies' imprisoned. I don't know if he's going to allow them a trial though.
