“Seeking to maximize executive branch dominance” = Fascism and Tyranny.

tracyc.bsky.social•3 days ago

They're going after her because she's younger than Bonnie Watson Coleman. Who they accused of body slamming an Ice "agent."

arionxeno.bsky.social•3 days ago

How did the DOJ get the grand jury to disbelieve their lying eyes?

itsjustme2.bsky.social•3 days ago

She looked like a ham sandwich to them.

heidi-s.bsky.social•3 days ago

The judge should hold the DOJ lawyers in contempt. False charges.

doug-holst.bsky.social•3 days ago

Next level, because they know that no one will do a damn thing about it. That’s why those men are still in prison in El Salvador and that’s why Pete Hegseth still has a job. Democrats are so easy to bully.

dragnflite.bsky.social•2 days ago

That and dropping the initial charges against the mayor. It's all bizarre.

deedoherty.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's worth pointing out that we the taxpayers are paying for all of the Trump Regime vexatious litigation. The criminal-in-chief and his corrupt organization are whirling dervishes consuming America's treasure.

motherdearest9.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can she counter sue 🤔

editr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah but let’s pardon all the people who attacked the Capitol Police and trashed the Capitol while trying to hang the vice president. We have gone over the edge and I fear we won’t be able to come back

warrenwp.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. This is all a threat.

warrenwp.bsky.social•3 days ago

So a threat to everyone else. They will imprison her if they can.

evanhurst.substack.com•3 days ago

I do wonder, not that it makes it any better, but Alina Habba really is a remarkable kind of stupid among a team of stupids. So I wonder if this might end up being one of those things where the Trump administration just absolutely humiliates itself because it elevates clowns like this.

evanhurst.substack.com•3 days ago

This is after all the attorney who confidently predicted that she could fake smart, and then proceeded to provide no evidence of that claim for over a year now

stevenkbaird.bsky.social•3 days ago

Good point. The lies about McIver would be exposed for what they are in a courtroom. OTOH, the failed J6 revolution was televised and exposed three times (as it happened, by the J6 Committee, and in scores of criminal cases). Now the liars control Congress and the presidency.

charliedog.bsky.social•3 days ago

All I can think of is Jan. 6th.
Hurts my heart.
I hope she fights like he'll and wins!

elrayjackson49.bsky.social•3 days ago

They’re doing it for the optics, not the charge. It’ll get thrown out but the message is already sent.

daien.bsky.social•3 days ago

They'll be exonerated after a lot of headache, expense, and sleepless nights. When donnie2dolls' administration knows no basis for prosecution is valid, the process is the punishment.

hutchfarm.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly. Looking forward to Discovery

ghostofpartiespast.bsky.social•3 days ago

That woman should be able to hand an ICE agent her trash and go on about her day if you want to know the truth.

lildonnyb.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s standard cop MO. They twist your arm and charge for resisting when you squirm in pain. It is what cops do. Lie.

lillly3ls.bsky.social•3 days ago

They usually slow down slightly when handling politicians unless they were explicitly told not to, and if that's the case, it's suggestive of the pace of events

jan11.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was raised to think cops were all bad. I didn't totally believe it until I saw George Floyd murdered!
I sure as hell believe it now!

lildonnyb.bsky.social•3 days ago

The ones that wouldn’t just stand and around and watch get drummed out pretty quick.

traciand.bsky.social•3 days ago

Possibly because she’s a black woman? 🙄

vaanhold.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is from the Russia playbook; you just attack you opponents and claim the total opposite of what the evidence shows. And then it is up to the judge to either rule by the evidence or agree with the lies. And more and more, I'm convinced they will go with the lies.

mattyberad.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is the America playbook. The CIA has been doing this to any country left of Hitler for a century.

julmm.bsky.social•3 days ago

no such thing as real vs fake

susanjoyy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course, she’s a black Congresswoman & those miserable bastards in Trump’s employ always attack minority women.

carnivorcupcake.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t know much in this crazy world. I’ve been incorrect about most things in the Trump era. But one thing I do know, is this: They shouldn’t have chosen a black woman to do this to, first. Especially such a brilliant one.

fredgrott.bsky.social•3 days ago

and makes it real easy to make a Law License complaint....

sifunick.bsky.social•3 days ago

Laughable but it's still harassment of a member of Congress. Laughing at the big bad hired prison cop being "assaulted" by this lady Congress member. Keep showing your stupidity, DOJ.

redrebel.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hopefully a true constitutionalist judge gets the case if it goes that far, and once the video “evidence” is seen in court, the case will be thrown out.

It’s a bullshit case, as the evidence clearly shows.

notwit.bsky.social•3 days ago

I just saw a video that showed her hitting and shoving. They said it was body cam. Makes me wonder if it was AI faked. The sounds were distorted.

sugarpop1.bsky.social•3 days ago

This isn't assault though right...

deepvoice.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh, the Rethuglians will keep saying they are, moving forward from Jan 6th. They know it was a coup, and they aided 47 in its cover-up. Now they will say that any evil, illegal acts never happened or were within the scope of the law. At this point, it is all about staying in power indefinitely.

exhaustedradical.bsky.social•3 days ago

They'll dismiss charges after they grandstand and make her life miserable.

sharonatx.bsky.social•3 days ago

And when the charges are dismissed as baseless Trump admin will claim it is “proof” of judicial overreach

Whether the DOJ win or lose, it's sending a message: don't fuck with us.

It's stupid and unnecessary, but that's how the junta rolls to appeal to its mindless base.

ralphtheewiggum.bsky.social•3 days ago

Like most things they do, it’s very stupid but will get lots of attention, and ultimately self-defeating

So many fucking things are on full display in video coverage by the media and they still lie about it all. Their having a cult (instead of a political party that is ever held to any kind of standard of reality whatsoever) is terrifying.

whoever at the DOJ takes this to trial needs to be dis fucking barred immediately.

This is why I don't buy the 'ICE assaults up 410%' factoid. Police consider a stern look to be assault.

It’s always women. The GOP is nothing if not predictable cowards.

dvandom.bsky.social•3 days ago

They don't expect to win, or even get past the first motion to dismiss. It's legal bullying, wasting time and causing stress to show they can.

haveyouanywool.bsky.social•3 days ago

I call BS!

haveyouanywool.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is there a link to the charging document?

haveyouanywool.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is this one of the first federal criminal cases brought against an elected official without review and approval by Main Justice, pursuant to the new policies allowing the field of U.S. attorney's offices to determine without oversight whether to criminally charge such officials? Expect anomalies.

danp2078r.bsky.social•3 days ago

We all saw J6 on video as well. That has never stopped Trump to create his own reality. And his Cultish base and Republicans follows along like dummies 😡😡

vanillaredfox.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s a show. It’ll get dismissed in 2 weeks like Baraka. As far as I know courts still operate under the principle of providing actual evidence to try somebody. She’s a whore in many different forms.

allureintheflames.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm not being sarcastic when I say please stop equating fascists with sex workers.

One of them is engaging in a harmless, mutually agreed pastime and the other is very literally murdering people. There is no comparison.

Trump team must have all kinds of scenarios figured out to get increasingly closer to eliminating as many legal barriers as possible for him to become king. That must be the goal.

deepvoice.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's building up to an excuse to use the Insurrection Act, because there is no time frame on how long it can be declared, and nothing the DC Reps. or courts can do to cancel it, and remove 47. But most likely, they want to wait closer to the midterms to ensure the DEMS can't take back both houses.

haveyouanywool.bsky.social•3 days ago

We fought a Revolution to rid ourselves of a monarchy. These faithless, unpatriotic, and un-American traitors want to revive the monarchy.

muchacho.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s only been four months. These crooks have over three and a half more years to run buck wild. There won’t be anything left to rule over by then.

Why bother with kinghood when you can be a vampiresquid?

nickdeanscroggs.bsky.social•3 days ago

Reminds me of a scene from Sin City where the senator played by Powers Boothe where he threatens Bruce Willis' character, "lie big and you get the whole world lying with you" or something, that he could shoot the latter in a hospital bed and no one there would name him as the killer.

nickdeanscroggs.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course, it is also the power angle. The senator in the film kept Hartigan (Willis) alive to take the fall for his son's crimes, holding it all over his head with threats, and I'm assuming the administration will drop the charges to look like they've "changed."/2

ryanwalters.bsky.social•3 days ago

they know it won’t stick in court, they’re weaponizing the judicial process to steal time, money, and morale.

haveyouanywool.bsky.social•3 days ago

I witnessed a lady breaking and entering a federal building, was told by authorities to stop, continued to commit the breaking and entering, get justifiably shot to stop them from breaking and entering, and her family was just awarded $5M of our money. The corruption of this admin is off the charts.

beansobonzo.bsky.social•10 hours ago

A person gets accused, even arrested - it makes big news… no one ever finds out when they are completely exonerated. In fact the whole point is just that- put on a show. Look like you are putting a stop to the ‘radical left’ & the cult cheers. Mission accomplished. It’s a sic way to run a country.

dandelorean.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've got psychos popping up linking that video and screeching - SEE!? SEE?!?
