Trump doesn't really care if the targets of his "revenge prosecutions" actually get convicted or not. His goal is to force people like Comey and James to go bankrupt defending themselves against these TRUMP-ed up charges. He wants to ruin them financially.

In other words, Trump directly ordered Halligan to indict James, bypassing Bondi altogether.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 1d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Reichsfuehrer Puppykiller says her goons have "arrested the girlfriend of Antifa's founder". Given that this "girlfriend" would be close to 125 years old by now...my goodness, she must be tough! 🤣

"None — repeat none — of America’s fentanyl has been found to originate from Venezuela. Yet Trump and Pete Hegseth, his compulsively strutting “secretary of war”, insist that the country is fuelling America’s opioid epidemic." Me on Trump's wag the dog script. www.ft.com/content/5b3e...

Venezuela is Trump’s useful enemy

Despite the president’s claims, the South American country is nowhere close to being the US’s biggest drug supplier

1. Thomas Massie is a Republican. 2. Mike Johnson just sent Republicans home with pay during a government shutdown to avoid his Constitutional duty to swear in a duly elected member of Congress in order to keep the Epstein files from the American people. #releasetheepsteinfiles

"Agents" running around in cars that aren't fleet vehicles, wrangling people off the streets with what authority? Where are the warrants? Our Republic is gone...
