Everybody should listen to the Politics War Room podcast today with Benjamin Hett an author and historian and an expert on the Nazis’ seizing power in 1933. Then think about an administration today trying to indict former FBI director and Trump critic James Comey on the specious charge of lying to Congress years ago about leaking stuff.
It was already investigated by a US attorney who concluded there was no case. Trump went berserk, fired that US attorney, and appointed a blatantly unqualified successor, a young woman who works for him at the White House, 36 years old, no experience in a courtroom, no experience as a prosecutor. She has one critical qualification. She’ll do whatever her leader tells her to do.
As will Pam Bondi and Todd Blanch in the US Department of Justice. They’re a disgrace to an office once held by Robert Jackson, Edward Levy, Elliot Richardson, and Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. There are officials who really did lie about leaks like Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was like a civ when he worked for the discredited Ken Starr investigation years ago, or the current FBI Director, Kash Patel.
But today, if you’re in the right party in this administration, you’re not held accountable to anything. If you’re on Trump’s enemies list, the rule of law is irrelevant. They’re coming after you. Familiar, Munich, 92 years ago.
You and James have the audience. If you want to knock Mongo off his perch, publish this.

This was the first of three lawsuits the plaintiff filed, the other two were filed in federal court in NY. The last lawsuit she filed against Trump was withdrawn by the plaintiff a mere four days before the 2016 presidential election, the same day that court records in the Stormy Daniels case show that this she was paid off.
I think you just describe basically everyone in senate positions along with outside positions . They show up and learn what to say yes to for the day .
