No shit. She needs to be investigated when Harris wins.

Nothing will happen unless there’s a majority in both the house and the senate. She has to be impeached. I don’t believe the executive branch can fire her.

They can and should criminally charge her if they had any fucking balls at all.

Really? Can you find me a reference? I thought the executive branch’s check on the judicial branch was appointment

Her preventing, hindering, or delaying the lawful prosecution of someone who stole state secrets definitely fits the federal criminal code for seditious conspiracy.

Democrats should lock up all the Republicans to show how dangerous Trump suggesting he'd lock up his political opponents is to democracy.

This account (timewarp@lemmy.world) is constantly putting out bad faith arguments that are anti-Dem / pro-GOP. Sometimes they're obvious, other times it's more insidious.

Just tag the user as a person who is trying to be subversive and dishonest and it'll be easier to spot their bullshit.

She has proven herself to be craven and corrupt enough, willing to serve Trump instead of the USA. I imagine she's a leading candidate.

Hell, it's how JD got tapped for VP, so a proven tactic to advancement

She should be on the list of accomplices

It's actually surprising me that she would receive a favor after he no longer needs her. I guess Federalist Society recognizes a shamelessly corrupt collaborator when they see one.

You have it backwards. She doesn't get a favor. Everything is about Trump and who he thinks will do him favor after favor. The judge already did him a huge favor and Trump would expect constant favors if the judge is appointed AG.

This. He knows he has a useful one now.

Quid pro quo. I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Fortunately she’d be incompetent at it.
