No one said he was a smart man. In fact, nobody representing maga is a smart person. The midterms cannot come sooner.

Imagine being the most powerful lawyer in the land and being bold enough to proclaim that the Constitution is to be disrespected in its most basic aspects. You work for the people, dumbass, not DJT.

Up until 2024, the AG of the DOJ was President Trump's private defense attorney.

I would pay to peer momentarily into a world where Joe Biden made his personal lawyer the Attorney General. Can't even imagine.

It kind of worries me that he is just outright admitting this because it feels like he is confident that he will face consequences.

The AG is the lawyer for the United States, with responsibilities to the Constitution and federal law. He advises the President on what is legal.
He does not work for Trump. And even if he did... TRUMP WORKS FOR US!.... which every damn member of the GOP seems to have forgotten. Their allegiance is supposed to be to their constituents. To us!

Because no one is going to do anything about it.
Our government of "checks and balances" has failed our democracy.

They have checks and balances. Have you seen the size of the checks they receive and how much their personal balances have increased?..

You can thank the Republican Party —- bought and paid for by billionaires and you know who. The final piece of the puzzle is to get yourself a few immoral and shady Supreme Court Justices and bingo—we have a failed state.

We know. That's the problem.
When your AG sees his job as supporting and defending the most shamelessly lawless and corrupt President of all-time, that's a red flag bigger than Trump's ego.

u/whoisnotinmykitchen 1h ago
Nobody. That's why he's there. And the Republican Congress and Republican "supreme" court were more than happy to play along..
Republicans are the party of corruption.

Remember that time that republicans lost their damn minds when they thought Obama was discussing matters with his AG? I don't remember the year but it was some made up scandal and they claimed Obama was telling the AG what to do?

Except he doesn’t, he is supposed to prosecute crimes against the American people not be trumps personal lawyer. He works for WE THE PEOPLE.

Hope people realize this is what the Supreme Court ruled. Democrats have to escalate to make the Supreme Court declaration that the President is a king no longer operable.
But for now, the Court said the only independent agency in the government is the Fed.

Blanche should get off his knees. I am not sure what Trump has on him. He maybe just a corrupt AG which seems to be a prerequisite for the administration.

So, so there's there was this ummisperception that there's this separation and independence um between the Department of Justice and the White House. And everybody likes to champion that and they accuse me of of of not suffering from independence. I don't.
I work for President Trump, but they did too. They did too. So, this idea that that Garland was just on his own making decisions independent of what the Biden administration wanted him to do is not true. And by the way, I'm not being critical of that. What I'm being critical of is the lie that he was independent
