The Nuremburg trials made it very clear what happens to those who follow inhumane, illegal orders.

I was just thinking that we needed defections from ICE to get the true picture since drumpf is not going to let us see what they are doing with the girls and babies. So creepy and screy, this must be stopped and hopefully when they realize the jig is up, some of this will stop. Although orange assface is such a hater, and obviously so in with the private jails, that he will continue to refuse. Hopefully enough information will come out & that enough repugs aren't paid by russia and will split from these criminals.

horrific anti-human anti-immigrant BS, the spewers hide their faces. I always wonder if these MAGA types are working for ICE, I hope they get *doxed* (if that's the right word)

Avenatti is just the kind of person we need - one who knows what to do, how to do it, and isn't afraid to do it.

Be prepared for the haters, naysayers, trolls, and other vermin to tear him down. They should be along any minute now (I'm referring to the world and internet in general, not DU).

Of fighting fire with fire.

Or facing a match with a blowtorch.

Keep it up, Michael.

have been secretly taking photos and videos for evidence. I have to believe that there are some good people out there that will take a stand and not just follow orders.

Probably because he comes across as a fighter and not a mealy-mouthed wuss.

I hope he can blow this thing wide open. I've always felt that the Daniels case was just his entry point into the world of politics (with which he is quite familiar).
