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.

      Wow.

      That’s the biggest pile of double talk I’ve ever seen.

      You’re going to show up at the midterms and vote, but no one should donate?

      And the boomers are going to be around for another ten years at least. But I’m sure that Trump and his MAGoos will hold off on any radical changes.

      I think at this point, the Boomers have gone all in on “We brought you into this world, and we can take you out of it.”

      As a generation, they have never cared about anyone but themselves. They seized financial and political power early, and they won’t let go until we pry it out of their cold, dead hands.

      But their numbers are dwindling now, and I think we might finally be at a point where – if the other generations band together – we can finally take their political power for ourselves.
