Trump’s imminent return has ‘demoralized’ DOJ, former federal prosecutor says

Well maybe they should get rid of that memo that says they can't prosecute sitting presidents. That'd be a start at least.

I really hate how the people in charge of the systems by which a corrupt leader is kept in check are biting their nails over what precedent they might set by actually punishing a president who in all likelihood has sold out American agents to foreign actors, and definitely has staged a coup and been found guilty of at least 34 other fucking things.

What precedent are you worried about setting? The right God damn example?

Well, the insiders of the DOJ think presidents are above the law, so this is the consequence

...so the years of absolute inactivity leading up to now was the result of a moralized DOJ?

Gee, I sure hope this doesn't effect their work ethic!

Oh, that's just dandy to hear. I'm guessing they are so demoralized that they aren't going to do anything about it.

What is Trump's brand again? Remember his game show's theme song? Something about being a proudly greedy fuck? The same thing Americans have been indoctrinated worship and aspire to since the Reagan Revolution?

Thank the bipartisan worship of market capitalism and greed for Trump, for the rejection of academia, for the ruins of public education, the end of regulation(like antitrust) and law enforcement as it stifles profitability, for the end of the habitability of the planet... on and on.

And we're still unwilling to reject economic growth/metastasis and working against one another to get moar as our only pursued national goals, even here, at the fucking end. Pathetic.

I wouldn't vote for him with a gun to my head, but let's not kid ourselves, Donald Trump is about as representative of this shithole as it gets. He's like the United States as a country took human form, a fat, proudly ignorant, proudly greedy, ego score obsessed bully in an ill fitting suit who would sell his own children for the right price. He's more American as it is than apple pie ever was, and at least as American as our national pastime of school shootings. 🇺🇸

Well good thing the DOJ spent years dragging their feet instead of actually doing anything about it.

Does it matter? They're all going to be replaced with personal attack dogs anyway.

Lindsay Graham can fuck right off with his projection lying-ass bullshit "the people are sick of lawfare, we're done with that now that Democrats are out."

Yeah, because justice under donvict is not going to be a thing...the guy should be rotting in prison.

It's gotten to them that there is no justice, even in the Department of Justice.

If they're screwed anyway, they'd have little to lose mounting a last ditch prosecution?

It makes sense for those relatively powerless employees who devoted themselves to the non-doublespeak mandates of these organizations to be "demoralized."

Come January 20th it's going to be the Department of Justice which concerns itself with injustice against political enemies, the Department of Health which concerns itself with unhealthy pseudoscience, we'll have a director of national intelligence which concerns themself with undermining US intelligence, and so on... Orwell couldn't have been more prescient.

Seems that any day that ended in a y, demoralized the DOJ with as much gusto as they seemed to lack actually charging and prosecuting, always errering on the side of caution, allowing the fascist criminal to take control of the United States government, well, as lock as they didn't stick their necks out, they'll still lose their jobs, to people who will destroy the entire rule of law. Good work, folks, excellent public service.
