Ex-president determined to destroy independence of justice department if he regains control of White House
Donald Trump is planning an assault on the American justice system should he win re-election to the White House, in which he would seek to destroy the independence of the justice department and turn it into an attack machine for his Make American great again (Maga) movement.
At the heart of his plans is the desire to impose his will on the individual prosecutorial decisions taken by the Department of Justice. The move, if successful, would end half a century of accepted practice that prevents presidents from politically interfering with specific cases.
It would allow Trump in his second term to eradicate the federal prosecutions currently being pursued against him as well as against insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 whom he has championed as “hostages”. It would also free him to instigate legal investigations as acts of revenge against his perceived political enemies, including Joe Biden and family.
“I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family,” Trump said last year.
so the stuff Trump himself says is left-wing garbage?
or are we not supposed to listen to what he says, and just fill in our own words, like some sort of political madlib?
What? That he would appoint a special prosecutor? If Biden is innocent he’s got nothing to worry about
so, it’s not fake news?
That’s not all that was claimed. Most of it is fake news
so, it’s not all fake news then? which parts were fake?
The whole thing except maybe the special council. The president already has the power to pardon if he wants to, so that’s hardly an assault on the Justice system.
except “maybe” the special council?
do you even know what “fake news” means, or are you just programmed to repeat whatever word salad your tangerine god says?
