We Are Witnessing The Birth Of a Banana Republic
Earlier this week, the federal prosecutors who ran Roger Stone’s trial abruptly dropped out of the case after impeached president trump’s lapdog, William Barr intervened to reduce their sentencing recommendation.
All Americans who are interested in maintaining our Democratic process understand William Barr should resign. His unethical political interference in the sentencing of impeached president trump’s crony Roger Stone can be seen only as a “grave threat to the fair administration of justice”, to quote what more than 1,100 former Justice Department lawyers have written in a public statement. “But because we have little expectation he will do so,” they continue, “it falls to the Department’s career officials to take appropriate action to uphold their oaths of office and defend nonpartisan, apolitical justice”—in line with the Justice Department’s own rule book for lawyers.
The Justice Department alumni, 85% of whom served under Republican presidents, and more than 100 of whom served under impeached president trump, were crystal-clear about what’s at stake here: “Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies.”
Of course, few, if any of impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics would agree with the 1,100 former DOJ attorneys. As we’ve seen over the years, the FOX Noise-educated conservatives believe their knowledge of constitutional law is superior to even the most learned law professor. (In fact, we’ve seen the FOX Noise-educated conservatives use this “superior knowledge" to contradict even the most knowledgeable experts in their fields. Just read their posts on these message boards.)
For all of their FOX Noise inspired wisdom, few conservatives understand the dangers of the road down which the impeached president trump, Moscow Mitch, John Roberts, William Barr, and the rest of his swamp rats are leading us. We are witnessing the birth of a banana republic.
As a postscript to this OP, a word of caution to Moscow Mitch, Devin Nunes, John Roberts, and anyone else in a position of power who used (or will use) that position to aid the impeached president trump. As the impeached president trump continues to consolidate his dictatorial powers, those individuals mentioned above should remain vigilant, as should anyone else who could be perceived as a threat by the extremely paranoid and very vindictive impeached president trump. If at any time they hear the impeached one speak of “Operation Hummingbird”, they'll know their days are numbered, as purge has been ordered.
Democratic senators call on William Barr to resign
DOJ Alumni Statement on the Events Surrounding the Sentencing of Roger Stone
If William Barr Truly Believed in Rule of Law, He Would Resign
As for saying the impeached president trump was acquitted. If the impeached one had been tried in a true court of law, not the sham put on in the Senate, Moscow Mitch would be guilty of jury tampering.
