"Trump’s strategy in his four #criminal matters has always been to delay any reckoning beyond the #election in hopes he would get elected, whereupon he could shut down federal prosecutions and put state cases on hold. Now, thanks to #US District Judge #AileenCannon ’s near-comedic stalling of Trump’s #Espionage Act case and the #SupremeCourt ’s equally blatant procrastination, #Trump may get his way."

Under Democratic presidents, the DOJ investigates and tries to correct abuses of power by local law enforcement agencies.

Under Republican presidents, the DOJ looks the other way.

The two parties are not interchangeable on criminal justice and policing.

#House Speaker #MikeJohnson has a tendency to think that when things go bad for his party, it’s the product of gross legislative mismanagement, judicial #weaponization, & a vast executive #conspiracy. But when his party wants to do something, it’s because #justice is swift & everything is proceeding according to plan. #HouseRepublicans’ efforts to hold AG #MerrickGarland are no exception to this trend.

It's a sad day for the Biden family, which like so many families has had to struggle with the addiction of a family member. But it's a good day for the rule of law. Presidents don't have to call prosecutions witch hunts & attack judges/prosecutors/witnesses/jurors. Our system still works — Joyce White Vance

Gabby Petito went missing in the summer of 2021 and was later found to have been murdered by her fiancé. Her disappearance generated enormous publicity, which at the time was described by activists as "Missing White Woman Syndrome," where white crime victims get more attention than non-white ones. Now, Gabby's family and the foundation they created in her honor are campaigning for every missing person to get the same level of publicity as she did. Here's an interview from People magazine with her father Joe.

Beginning immediately after the guilty verdicts, he and his in the unloaded on our system of , screeching out that it is time for revenge. The administration of justice, they falsely claim, has been “weaponized” and used as a “cudgel” like in “a banana republic.” That’s what a party does when it has no moral compass and is willing to follow its leader, lemming-like, over the cliff.
