1. All we need is a non-corrupt A.G.

2. It is cute that people still believe the law actually fucking matters.

We do not live in a Constitutional Republic any longer...we live in an Oligarchical Fascist Dictatorship.
We do not have a President, we have a king.
We do not have equal justice under law, we have the divine right to grab pussies, for one.
We do not have a United States of America, we have a brewing cauldron of Civil War II on roiling boil.

It is over.
Dead.
Buried.
Too little mourned.

The experiment in self-rule, government of, by and for the people is dead.
I just hope someone eventually gets to end Trump the same way Marie Antoinette ended on 14 October 1793...I would volunteer to pull the lever myself as a representative of the new Revolutionary Tribunal.

3. I have wondered how it was possible

How is it possible for DT to attack and seek to intimidate past witnesses and potential witnesses against him in a trial, and not get even charged for what is clearly a CRIME?
