That’s Grandpa MAGA talking which is bad enough. Here’s the shadow president’s similar message:
I thought this was an apt retort:
More Justice Department lawyers have reached their limit:
At least five [now six] senior prosecutors in the criminal section of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced their resignations this week, believing that the Trump administration has undermined the work and mission of the section, according to four people familiar with the personnel moves.
The office is the only part of the Civil Rights Division that handles criminal violations of the nation’s civil rights laws. For years, the Justice Department has relied on the section to prosecute major cases of alleged police brutality and hate crimes. The announcement of the resignations followed the administration’s highly unusual decision to not include the Civil Rights Division in the initial investigation of an immigration officer’s fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis.
The departures wipe the office of its most experienced prosecutors, including the section’s longtime section chief and deputy — Jim Felte and Paige Fitzgerald — career attorneys who served in their positions during President Donald Trump’s first administration and through President Joe Biden’s administration. Three other supervisors and senior litigators are also leaving.
Aaand:
On Tuesday, at least three veteran prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota — an office that would typically work alongside the Civil Rights Division to investigate the shooting by the officer — resigned, according to emails obtained by The Washington Post.
Apparently, the head of that Minneapolis office who resigned was a Trump guy who wasn’t expected to prosecute the officer who murdered Renee Good. He reportedly resigned because he was ordered to investigate Good’s wife and all of her acquaintances. Apparently even he has his limits. I’m going to guess there are extremists and/or opportunists who aren’t that fastidious.
There is no Justice Department. It’s a Trump enforcement agency, that is all.
