This country is so fucked. We have a blatant criminal running for president with half the country too stupid or incapable of believing the facts and actually getting his ass in jail, all because he has an R next to his name. Our government is completely deprived of doing anything positive or good for it's people. We're going to spend the next 50 years walking a fine line between fascism and democracy, with all our energy spent on trying to stay on the democracy side, while the citizens of the US suffer the consequences. I hope I'm wrong but with this stupid MAGA cult so high up the chain of the government, it's hard to see a bright future.

the only thing i'd argue with is the outlook.. it might not be so grim, just because there is a ton of really easy work out there for aspiring young lawyers. lots of really simple corruption to prosecute and make heroes of an entire generation of Bobby Kennedys.. in the Supreme Court itself no less.. talk about a chance to make your name.. eager young attorneys live for that kind of shit.. we'll see..

[T]hey also ordered, in early 2022, that the FBI informant who had provided the best intelligence on Giuliani's activities be "closed" — cut off from further FBI contact. According to the statement, that order came from the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force or FITF, a headquarters-based unit established by Director Christopher Wray in 2017 and charged with combating foreign influence.

Read that again. Now read it again.

Every complaint is a confession. You can literally just start with every political complaint that gets Fox in a tizzy or that gets shouted from congressional podiums and use that to start a criminal investigation into the people and organizations backing the complaint. You should be able to generate a lot of cases like that.

After which of course you’ll be ordered to shut down the investigation.

FTA:

Russell Dye, a spokesperson for Jordan, denied the whistleblower's allegations that the committee was cherry-picking witnesses who claimed to be able to implicate Biden.

"We would under no circumstance ever tell a whistleblower that we weren't interested in their story," Dye said. "We have had plenty of whistleblowers come forward about issues not relating to the President." Dye said the committee was still weighing what to do with the information that the whistleblower had given them.

Surrrrre, I believe that you're impartial…
