If ANY other president had been caught DMing directives for the Attorney General to indict his political enemies it would have been game over.
Impeached. Removed.

With Donald Trump, it’s just another fucking day ending in Y.

I found this line from Peacemaker S2 extremely relatable.

John Economos (Steve Agee) from Peacemaker says "If you read my dossier, you'd know I have social deficiencies..." (continued in next image)

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.
