I've been saying for a long, long time that Trump holdovers at the FBI WFO hamstrung the DOJ's investigations into Donald Trump. These new Grassley emails prove it. Example: Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago over multiple attempts to stonewall, and found evidence of multiple crimes.

This this this. And if you, the public, cease to care, why should the President?
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

“How billionaires took over American politics”
The concentration of wealth among the richest Americans is unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics.
The USA has over 342 million people.
Only 902 billionaires.
It's when we say it's over.
