The last attorney general who turned the Justice Department into a weapon went to federal prison. The pardon power could not save him. And it won't protect Trump's team.
Thank you Miles. I am so happy to subscribe to this. No matter how much I freak out information like this brings my feet back in contact with the ground.
Thank you for the historical perspective on the likes of Blanche! He, and others, would in another world likely be considered pretty smart and able people. But they act like the don't understand the law, don't know pitfalls that litter our history, and don't believe life will deal them any consequences. Who in any walk of life can live successfully under such ignorance?
it may seem that Toady Blande & the rest of the clown cabinet are blind to negative consequences, but imho they've simply decided the potential for grift outweighs the downsides of disbarment, jail time, & professional ruin. I suspect they all have hidden crypto/offshore accounts where they're accumulating capital from bribes, insider stock trading & prediction markets. They've done the math & decided the risks are acceptable in light of some fat billion $ payoff at the end 💸💸💸
...so maybe the critical questions are actually: how do we follow the money when it's likely hidden in crypto or otherwise outside US banks? given that: can it ever be used as legal leverage or otherwise reclaimed to pay fines & damages related to criminal behavior? 🧐🤬🤷🏻♀️
apparently Toddy tries to............and he's pretty much dumb-as are all of those idiots afraid of their own poop...They know the law- they are choosing money........and they think money will set them free..............fools-
There needs to be a modification of the power to grant pardons. Knowingly and deliberately committing criminal acts in the furtherance of a criminal political agenda must not be pardonable. The pardon of the J6 1600 is a prime example, as well as the vindictive prosecution of political adversaries. Donffrey Trumpstein is making "Vlad the Bad" Putin proud.
Question: Has the power of the president to offer preemptive pardons or blanket pardons for unspecified crimes ever been challenged in court?
Question: Is there a general principle in law that an otherwise legal action performed for a corrupt purpose may itself be illegal (e.g. granting a pardon to someone committing a crime at the president’s behest)?
Miles, I respect your opinion immensely. And not to be negative, but if we take a look at Mike Flynn, for example, as you of course know better than I, he pled guilty, was pardoned, he sued for malicious prosecution, and the DOJ has agreed to pay him $1.25 million in restitution! I don't think these guys care about their legacy and history books. Trump will pardeon ALL of them. Don't they just care about the grift and the power in this cult they're in?
I think this doesn't have the correct summary. We need 3 House GOP with ethics to join the Dems for awhile to turn the committee memberships. First they need to remove several insurrectionists and pedophiles from the Judiciary Committee - Jordan, Roy and Biggs would be a good start. The DOJ does answer to the Judicial Committee but not with this leadership. On the Senate side, Cruz (pedophile protector) , Hawley, Grassley, Graham and Cornyn have to go - all insurrectionists. Also not enough said about Comey's work pointing to the GOP funding of the capital riots.
What they seem to NOT understand is "NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW" and when you break them you SHOULD go to prison. I hope this happens somewhere down the rest of this regimes time.
There will be an accountability one way or another! Trump's regime will be known as the "bulldoze" administration. In spite of his recent insane Truth Social post holding a (losing) hand of UNO wild cards in which he boasts he "holds all the cards," he does not hold the hearts and minds of the American people. (The only cards that really matter). Trump is obviously very scared 😱 because he recently called for the impeachment of minority leader Hakeem Jeffries in order to avoid HIS next foreseeable impeachment and ouster.
I hope everyone in the Trump Regime pays the price for what they've been doing and continue to do for that demented lunatic.
I hope that this country swings so hard back toward equality, peace and freedom that the U.S. becomes a beacon of sanity in the world.

Miles: What a refreshing reminder that all is not lost. Thank you!

To paraphrase my late mother, from your keyboard to God's inbox.

Thank you Miles! I’d like to see some justice before I die!
Vinny Gambini was schooled by Mona Lisa Vito about discovery.
It’s astounding that Blanche et al believe themselves to be invincible and that they can ignore the law.
Todd is a toptal dunce and a butt kisser-
