Ruth Marcus’s profile of Pam Bondi includes an on-the-record interview with John Sauer, the solicitor general under her. This is the same person who won the immunity case last year—and who now has the Supreme Court wrapped in his little finger. The kicker: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Screenshot from New Yorker article: “This raises the unsettling question of what happens when a Democrat is elected President. Does one purge beget another?

He admits the complete capture of the DOJ and that they work for Trump, not the American people. I will vote for Newsom bc I believe him to be the oligarch that will seek revenge. I’m not just giving up the suffering of the last decade without getting my pound of flesh. I want revenge.

What happens when a Democrat is elected president? The Republicans in the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court are well on the way to ensuring that will never happen.

Yes, the flagrant illegality and excesses of this administration are very much a “quema los barcos” strategy

It’s easy to win cases when the judge agrees with you. Justice Thomas even tells them what to say.

I circle back to proving with actual evidence, perhaps in an international court, that Trump stole the 2024 election. This then voids every act of treason and destruction that they have enacted this year. And, it makes them all eligible to be indicted, ergo removed by non-partisan means.
