It is not just that Trump donor's can get Trump to make their crimes disappear; he will also punish any prosecutor who dares to hold them accountable.

The corruption is unbelievable and it’s going to get way worse

Fuck the people occupying the White House.

He is not an at will employee, is he? I hope he sues for wrongful termination.

This is so very, very, very bad. It's over, we blinked, and in 2½ months they undid our whole country. I don't see how we come back from this if it's allowed to continue another second.

More corruption by Trump

I'm no historian, but I'm pretty sure this is what got the French irritated.🤷🏼‍♂️

No rule of law.

Trump has made “career prosecutor” an oxymoron.

The rule of law is ☠️ under Trump. Having stupid old friends in high places pays off. Always has.

This shit got Republicans to turn against Nixon. Simpler times back then.

Republicans had balls back then.

What I’d like to know from a Trumper is, is all this retribution making them in any way happier? Is this what you voted for?

The defendant bought himself a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow with alleged fraudulent tax practices.

Weirderhorn also convicted in Oregon of criminal financial activities and served 14 months in federal prison in 2004/2005. His legal difficulties after that prove he is a total sleazebag, just the sort that Trump likes.

Another. “People tell me he’s a terrible “. Does Trump actually think for himself???

The unmistakeable message here is that if you are going to engage in some financial crimes, donating to Trump is a very low-cost insurance policy. Because how many prosecutors are going to pursue those cases now. https://bsky.app/profile/ericcolumbus.bsky.social/post/3llkr7zuros2n

The thing that’s dangerous about this is the formal criminal justice system exists mostly to prevent the *informal* criminal justice system.

When you turn off the formal justice system, people’s desire for resolving grievances doesn’t go away

I’m very worried that they don’t recognize that this lawlessness *will* lead to violence and vigilante justice.
