Summary

Former federal prosecutor Sara Levine, fired by Trump, warned on 60 Minutes that the Justice Department is “under attack.”

Levine, who prosecuted January 6 rioters, said she was fired for upholding the law.

Legal expert Peter Keisler criticized Trump’s pardons of Capitol rioters, arguing they signal that crimes committed in support of Trump’s agenda may go unpunished.

These actions undermine the rule of law and discouraging accountability for political violence.

      The clear thing was “vote for Harris”. It was just that a lot of people wanted to punish Democrats for the Palestinian genocide.

        I find it very telling when someone gets mad at the people who couldn’t stomach voting for a genocide, rather than getting mad at the party for running on a pro-genocide platform

        That was only clear to those who think the USA is a working democracy, where the purple states have fair elections. It was clear to idealists or uninformed.

        To those who understand why computer ballots should not be used, or just plain cynical, it was clear the choice was out of our hands
