I'll say this much, I think that the IGs Biden inherited had a legacy of covering up rather than exposing the prior bs. Wholesale purge in 2021 might've done some some good, especially at DoJ.
...I'm waiting for a sign to be hung on the WH, "NO grown-ups allowed" - just #TFG & his oligarchy buds - I think the secret password will be in stacks of all $100 bills
I know that. But he can still be challenged on the grounds of not following a very recently applied standard and practice that the President and his government is not meant to simply disregard without any word or "official act" in advance to provide justification for disregarding it.
No, that’s not how fascist system works, there is no negation or combating within the system. Arguing in courts only delays some of their labor, Dems are wasting their energy on something Trump will inevitably ignore.
