Just like the Floyd riots were in fact "mostly peaceful protests" right? Except they weren't the same at all. One of the two was far more damaging and based on an actual lie. Let's see how long it takes people that think men can be women to figure it out. This ought to be fun.
GET OUT AND VOTE!!! WE NEED THIS SCUM OUT OF OUR WHITE HOUSE
That's right as a prosecutor you deal only in facts and law not beliefs whether, you think the pardon was just or not it can't be brought up in a new case follow the laws!!!!
These folks currently in control of DOJ are criminals and must be held accountable and prosecuted. Lock them up!
And the rePUNKakins think that this is fair or legal for anybody on their side is "DERISON" Can't wait to BLONDI and the rest of them get justice served.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮.
Msnbc. Says enough. Your fired.
So tough on crime
We really, really need to vote Republicans out of Congress in November 2026 and take back control to stop all of this complete insanity!
Ice watch you
Obama. Barrak did it hurt the. Trump way on desk dawn it
Lies lies lies fake news
Unbelievable, the orange guy braking the law again
When do we start arrests for George Floyd rioters ??
Invoke the 25th Amendment.
Trump have turn this country into horse manure. Invoke the 25th Amendment on this sucker.
It's too bad you media people lied soooo much since 2016. Because I HEAR you saying that this guy has illegal weapons at Obama's house and that he threatened to bomb some building…..I think why would Trump not condemn him and let justice handle this. That it makes Trump look really bad.
BUT BUT BUT Then I think of who told me that and instantly think well if you assume they are telling the truth and form an opinion based on what they are saying you are a FOOL…..YOU can't twist the truth to fit your agenda for over ten years and expect your word to be trusted.
I know they take words and use them out of context to influence me. I know they flat out lie to influence me, I know they never point their scrutiny and moral compass at their own party affiliates to influence me. I know that if my party did anything good for the people that they would find something negative to focus on to influence me…….Because of this you have no credibility, your opinion has no value, YOU HAVE NO VALUE you sold your integrity to achieve a goal that didn't work and all you'll be left with is a paycheck…..
Pam bondi everyday digs her own grave. If Pam thinks she can a walk away and not be punished for sister. Keep hiring unqualified people and the more u do that Pam, the less safe this country is so therefore lay YIU WILL BE PUNISHED.
What's neat about this is apparently 2K worth of commenters can't see through the twisting of this story to make it sound heinous and vindictive. You can't separate that Jan 6th has absolutely nothing to do with this. Yet it was included as a pretence for criminal behavior. Ever heard of double jeopardy. Then why bring it up. It carries zero relevance. Everyone in a government job HAS TO follow orders. This is nothing more than a weekend weed whacking of prosecutors that are growing in the swamp. The other astonishing fact is the previous administration literally weaponized the entire justice department to vindictively make up charges and hold kangaroo courts. But hey, that's okay.
Daily sick stuff from trump's sickos
Crooked administration. How much more evidence does one need to see it now. ?
The entire DOJ will need to be rethought. Most of trump's idiots will need to be fired or prosecuted when he leaves office.
I thought Nigeria was worse, but now I know better. Corruption in wild West is telling.
It's an upside down world
Okay I'm trying to get this in my head here
Okay first of all this guy is something he's with the department of intelligence or I don't know if she introduced him as something with intelligence in it. And he's on msab NBC msos NBC anyway okay so we got everything kind of figured out about the intelligence part now I have a question in my hand is raised really super high in the air on this one I'm in the back my question is Sir is so what's wrong with this we had a peaceful protest also remember I would think you would remember that you're from the house of intelligence or something like that case closed coming straight from a ROOSTER with a 📣📣📣📣📣 them red things are MEGAPHONES!! COCKADOODLE DOOOOO!!
Wow it's amazing how the people who are commenting about the department of Justice…
I'll guarantee you not one not one of them are in any of the areas that are getting once again bombarded with whatever they want to throw it police officers stop disrespecting law enforcement they're doing what they're told to do and it was directed by the president of the United States of America get over it just get over it comments are always welcome and that's coming straight from the ROOSTER with a 📣📣📣📣📣 THEMS MEGAPHONES!!!
Judges shouldn’t get there opinions from the mainstream media.
I can’t wait for Pam Bondi & Trump to be sporting orange jumpsuits!
