Anti-corruption crusader Donald Trump was up at 2am attacking his own DOJ to defend his friend, a convicted felon, who lied under oath to Congress and threatened a witness and the judge while trying hide his efforts to coordinate with Wikileaks https://t.co/aj8VurBIMn— Robert Maguire (@RobertMaguire_) February 11, 2020
We all remember these men crying in gratitude when unemployment dropped from 10% to under 5% and the S&P tripled under President Obama. Because, you know, loving Trump is all about relief from economic stress. https://t.co/jzW69N9I5v— Stuart Stevens (@stuartpstevens) February 13, 2020
Friendly reminder that John Kelly proudly worked for a traitor, defended wife beater Rob Porter, lied about Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, and agreed with caging children. I wish he had at least half the balls of Marie Yovanovitch, Fiona Hill, Sally Yates, or Stormy Daniels.— Andrea Junker (@Strandjunker) February 13, 2020
Go back to your sh!thole countries!!! Instead of putting all your hope in coming to the United States, put your hope in your own country. Maintain your hope in your leaders. Support your community.

Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago for the 29th golf-related trip of his presidency to his for-profit resort, raising his total taxpayer golf tab to $133.8 million, according to HuffPost. That figure translates to 334 years of the presidential salary. https://t.co/6dcKR9mc5c— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 15, 2020

No one wants the kind of diversity the Trump cabinet, White House officials, or today’s Republican Party has to offer. Its diversity includes: neo-Nazis, kleptocrats, mobsters, grifters, disinformation propagandists, and fascists. Sebastian Gorka checks several of these boxes. https://t.co/Zjwduz0fdu— Alexandra Chalupa (@AlexandraChalup) February 18, 2020
Cleaning the swamp, one high profile case at the time: https://medium.com/@dojalumni/doj-a...ng-the-sentencing-of-roger-stone-c2cb75ae4937 President Trump and Attorney General Barr have openly and repeatedly flouted this fundamental principle, most recently in connection with the sentencing of President Trump’s close associate, Roger Stone, who was convicted of serious crimes. The Department has a long-standing practice in which political appointees set broad policies that line prosecutors apply to individual cases. That practice exists to animate the constitutional principles regarding the even-handed application of the law. Although there are times when political leadership appropriately weighs in on individual prosecutions, it is unheard of for the Department’s top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President, as Attorney General Barr did in the Stone case. It is even more outrageous for the Attorney General to intervene as he did here — after the President publicly condemned the sentencing recommendation that line prosecutors had already filed in court. Such behavior is a grave threat to the fair administration of justice. In this nation, we are all equal before the law. A person should not be given special treatment in a criminal prosecution because they are a close political ally of the President. Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies. We welcome Attorney General Barr’s belated acknowledgment that the DOJ’s law enforcement decisions must be independent of politics; that it is wrong for the President to interfere in specific enforcement matters, either to punish his opponents or to help his friends; and that the President’s public comments on DOJ matters have gravely damaged the Department’s credibility. But Mr. Barr’s actions in doing the President’s personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words. Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice’s reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign. But because we have little expectation he will do so, it falls to the Department’s career officials to take appropriate action to uphold their oaths of office and defend nonpartisan, apolitical justice. For these reasons, we support and commend the four career prosecutors who upheld their oaths and stood up for the Department’s independence by withdrawing from the Stone case and/or resigning from the Department. Our simple message to them is that we — and millions of other Americans — stand with them. And we call on every DOJ employee to follow their heroic example and be prepared to report future abuses to the Inspector General, the Office of Professional Responsibility, and Congress; to refuse to carry out directives that are inconsistent with their oaths of office; to withdraw from cases that involve such directives or other misconduct; and, if necessary, to resign and report publicly — in a manner consistent with professional ethics — to the American people the reasons for their resignation. We likewise call on the other branches of government to protect from retaliation those employees who uphold their oaths in the face of unlawful directives. The rule of law and the survival of our Republic demand nothing less.
Religion and politics don’t mix well apparently: We are aware the Satanists and Atheists have decided to pile on this poll.

Law and Order President... Trump is tweeting while Stone’s sentencing is in progress. If Barr doesn’t resign after this, he has no credibility with anyone - DOJ, courts, the public. Hard to see how he can remain in place IF he cares about DOJ & the rule of law more than power & politics. https://t.co/pGCMDH6Ai4— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) February 20, 2020
