The animating principle of the Trump cabal's Ukraine plan is not state interest but monetization. Because they are doing it all out in the open, legacy media has fallen for the old trap that there is nothing to see here. After all, if it was so shady, it would have been done under cover of darkness.

Just saw this today. This is a transparent attempt to KILL DUE PROCESS by lying about the job of immigration judge and stacking the deck through hiring only bloodthirsty lawyers who want to deport people.
This comes after they pushed out over 100 judges deemed too likely to grant relief.
