The Washington Post reports the DOJ will pursue criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day even if he wins. They believe department rules against charging or prosecuting a sitting president would not kick in until Inauguration Day in January. They will do exactly that. The information comes from anonymous sources.
WaPo is a government mouthpiece.
Lawyers in the department do not believe the policy bars them from proceeding against a president-elect.
But they claim they can’t possibly weaponize the Justice Department against him. They’re claiming they can’t be weaponized, but they’re trying to imprison him for a riot when he told people to march peacefully and patriotically.
“The Justice Department isn’t governed by the election calendar. Its prosecution of Trump is based on the law, the facts, and the Justice Manual — the department’s bible that lays out the post-Watergate norms that have prevented it from being weaponized,” said Anthony Coley, a former Justice Department spokesman for Attorney General Merrick Garland who left the agency last year. “Until those norms change, or they’re ordered otherwise, I’d expect this Justice Department to be full speed ahead. And they should be.”
He’d be president-elect, but that’s not weaponization?
“Speaking on the condition of anonymity, current officials expressed the same sentiment — that if Trump wins the election, the clock on the two federal cases against him will keep ticking until Jan. 20, when he would be sworn in as the 47th president.”
DUH!
Who couldn’t see this coming?
defund the doj. and 90% of the rest of the fed. gov. there’s no reason to ban any dept. just don’t pay for them.
The current crop of Congress critters aren’t that smart or bold.
I can only hope Trump has bigger balls than Ronnie Reagan. Time to clean out every dept, every institution, every crat that went to an Ivy League school. Bring on the lesser A team.
That’s because while he is being sworn in, the mobs will be released making the Summer of 2022 seem tame. The Democrat fascists play the long game and ANTIFA along with the other goons (FBI/CIA) already are getting their marching orders
Not concerned about that. They only riot in their own leftard controlled crap holes.
Psalm 2 1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:… Read more »
“Kiss the Son“? Where does This come from. The Hebrew word there relates to weapons, firearms,..arms. “Arm yourselves with purity” is the translation.
The only bible in the US government that needs applying is the 2ND AMENDMENT, to the government.
