I worked in corrections for 33 years. This administration doesn't miss an opportunity for some act of corruption, if it benefits them apparently.

Incredible. We’re into an “injustice the dictator’s way era.” It’s hard to comprehend that an appointed sycophant could write in a line that gives another appointed sycophant this power. One more tool to extort and corrupt. Yes, we need to call, complain, challenge, object, make a big stink. A few days ago a few protesters were made an example of by giving them decades of prison. Even outlets like NPR are only giving tepid reports if any.

Just subscribed to Ms. Oyer's Substack thanks to this piece.

All I'll say about Blanche - I believe Lin Wood, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell - over 100 years of legal experience combined - all lost their law licenses, their practices, and their reputations the moment they started doing legal work for the Circus Clown in Chief. Such is his gift that everything he touches turns to shit, without exception.

Exactly. Anyone who gets close to him will at least loose their integrity, if not a lot more. Unfortunately, the one person always having a way out from the consequences of accountability is Trump himself. Given his physical deterioration, he might finish that way.

It just gets worse and worse every day. The USA is rapidly falling into a full on dictatorship.

You say or do anything that offends Trump - you’re arrested. You pay off the right person or kiss the right ass - you’re pardoned.

Unreal.

It is bad, but I do see things changing. I do see people starting to utilize their voice and power to check the system that's been running out of control over the last 16 or 17 months. We have the power to vote, and when we take back majority control in Congress, we will conduct oversight via subpoena. We will implement power of the purse, and we will ensure there's a separation of powers. The United States is not going to fall into a dictatorship if we vote in the November midterms.

This man must NOT be confirmed. The DOJ is out of control and TB will do whatever it takes to abuse any authority he is given. There is no ambiguity.

I agree 100%. He turned out to be a really bad acting attorney general. The writing was on the wall way back during Trump's criminal trials, but it's gotten worse over the last year. Did you see footnote #2 in the article regarding the 101 retired judges participating in filing a complaint with the New York Bar Association?

Hot and spicy. But it's time to put the cap back on the Blanche sauce and tuck it away in the far back of the top cupboard, never to be seen again.
