Is any Democrat besides Jamie Raskin going to talk about Trump selling pardons for millions of dollars to some of the most disgusting fraudsters and drug dealers in history? Any one of these is an impeachable offense and there are new ones almost every day. He isn’t even hiding the quid-pro-quo.

Simple thing: the states are subordinate but separate sovereign powers in the US constitutional system. They have robust powers to self-govern and resist criminal and unconstitutional infringement from a corrupt, renegade federal executive. Tell the Feds to bring it.

I think the predicate crime is 18 U.S.C. s. 372, not 18 U.S.C. s. 111.
Physical force isn’t a requirement under 372.
But, yes, still out of control!

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
