So cheating… illegal actions… all good with you..

Trumpers ARE getting brazen

Democrats INVADED the U.S. with an army of 15 million illegals who got busy RAPING and KILLING Americans, so yeah.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Sanctimonious libturd gasbag quits so that he can vent his spleen about politics he disagrees with.

Of course that didn't happen, and he referred directly to illegal acts by the President.

So, as usual, you invent some low hanging fruit for yourself to which to respond, in order to have anything to say.

 

[White 6]

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed me as a federal judge. I was 38 years old. At the time, I looked forward to serving for the rest of my life. However, I resigned Friday, relinquishing that lifetime appointment and giving up the opportunity for public service that I have loved.

My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution, and possible punishment. This is contrary to everything that I have stood for in my more than 50 years in the Department of Justice and on the bench. The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.

When I accepted the nomination to serve on the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, I took pride in becoming part of a federal judiciary that works to make our country’s ideal of equal justice under law a reality. A judiciary that helps protect our democracy. That has the authority and responsibility to hold elected officials to the limits of the power delegated to them by the people. That strives to ensure that the rights of minority groups, no matter how they are viewed by others, are not violated. That can serve as a check on corruption to prevent public officials from unlawfully enriching themselves. Becoming a federal judge was an ideal opportunity to extend a noble tradition that I had been educated by experience to treasure.

Another man of integrity and vast experience to be ridiculed and dismissed for having the audacity to say out loud what we all have known for months if not years.

What Nixon did episodically and covertly, knowing it was illegal or improper, Trump now does routinely and overtly. Prosecutorial decisions during this administration are a prime example. Because even a prosecution that ends in an acquittal can have devastating consequences for the defendant, as a matter of fairness Justice Department guidelines instruct prosecutors not to seek an indictment unless they believe there is sufficient admissible evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Trump has utterly ignored this principle.

I hope he doesn't think speaking out will persuade trump devotees to acknowledge the truth of what he's saying. There isn't a chance of that.

I wonder how long it will be before he is indicted?

Although, Trump really is a dick, I am sure, being 78 years old had nothing to do with his resignation.

A rare bit of Trumper honesty

He's not a Trumper you idiot.

He'll probably get more in retirement than he did working.

The Chinese get several more industrial projects done for everyone we get for the price.

U.S. Attorney investigating alleged grand ‘conspiracy’ calls unit-wide meeting after two prosecutors resign​

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting on Monday afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast “conspiracy” investigation into former intelligence and law enforcement officials, according to a source familiar with internal concerns among career prosecutors.

Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones called the impromptu meeting of the largest section in the criminal division — major crimes — a unit that includes two to three dozen career prosecutors. The source said it is unusual for an office’s top prosecutor to convene such a gathering.

“Everyone is on pins and needles,” the source told MSNBC, referring to prosecutors who fear being asked by the U.S. Attorney Reding Quiñones, or his leadership team, to work on a case that President Donald Trump has said should lead to the arrests of an expansive list of individuals, including former President Barack Obama and former CIA Director John Brennan.

The Justice Department approved at least 30 subpoenas on Friday, including for Brennan and former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

The official who signed at least some of the subpoenas is Executive Assistant United States Attorney Manolo Reboso, a source familiar with a number of the subpoenas issued so far told MSNBC.

In doing so, the SDFL appears to have bypassed what multiple legal experts told MSNBC is standard protocol for its issuance of subpoenas, turning to a member of leadership to sign off on some of them, instead of a line prosecutor assigned to investigate the case.

So yeah… because of YOUR insanity… all bets are off and legality no longer matters to Trumpers?

It has become apparent

 

[Lesh]

Trump doctrine will reign for the next 1,000 years.

Hitler’s minions said the same.

That lasted about 12 horrific years

 

[Concerned American]

I'm fine with Trump defeating Democrats by any and all means. Those corrupt traitors need to be defeated.

The democrats use any procedural or underhanded tactic that they can to accomplish their desired outcome, turnabout is fair play.

Pure bullshit excuse for illegal actions

 

[frigidweirdo]

That's the strategy:

Break the law in broad daylight enough times, and people will stop caring.

Creating new norms. Then you can move on to the next thing and just keep creating new norms until it's too late.

This is how Trump runs his businesses, he's the man in power because he's got the money. He thinks he can do the same with the US government. And he's too old to care what the consequences to the country will be, and too egotistical.

Maybe I’m old… but I saw Carl Rove employ the same tactics and brag about it.

These Trump acolytes saw that as well

I read this in WaPo. He puts character, ethics and love of country first.

And whenever illegal activity in his circle is exposed, he pretends know nothing about it and defers to his underlings.

Truly a great leader.

 

[Delldude]

There is no “ outside their jurisdiction “ with FEDERAL judges

Pure nonsense

Their jurisdiction is their district.

What didn’t happen? He didn’t quit so that he could speak freely, as he claimed?

Yeah. You’ve got credibility.

You idiot.
