Matt McDermott: "In any normal administration, if the Director of National Intelligence committed voter fraud, it would lead to an immediate resignation and a criminal investigation."

Sen. Chris Murphy: "The Signal scandal likely involves criminal behavior. If there is no Department of Justice investigation, then it will become 100% clear - if it isn’t already - that the law no longer applies to powerful people in this country."

Arresting officers realize they can lie to secure confessions. Senior officers know they can exaggerate to lobby for bigger budgets. For some, a form of “noble cause corruption” is at play—a sense that any means will justify the ends of securing social order and making sure the bad guys go to jail.

Another #MAGA Judge Makes Shocking Legal Argument
@thenewsdesk @news-thenewsdesk A Grand Jury recommends that the city of Hanceville, #Alabama #DefundThePolice because it acts like a criminal organization.
Meanwhile the #POTUS believes he is #AboveTheLaw and has appointed an #FBI Director who promised to be his henchman. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-henchman-kash-patel-lawsuit/
@VeroniqueB99
The #GOP packed the #SCotUS with his appointees who then ruled he's #AboveTheLaw.
That was the #Republican long game. They only needed to fill 5 seats (they have 6). They (arguably) can't be removed, and enjoy lifetime appointments. And just look how much damage they've done in just a short time:
They abolished the 1965 #CivilRights Act.
Overturned #Roe.
And declared the #Potus is Above the Law & can't be #impeached.

FelonTrump47 called this a “great embarrassment for NY”. He’s the embarrassment. The people who elected him are the embarrassment and will be victimized by his evil.

" In 2020, averaged 27 lies per day. Lies about small insignificant to massively large. No one believes anything from anyone because of never ending lies. Billionaire begging people for money, they keep sending. 1 man claiming only 1 who can fix it."

I sure hope Jack Smith's salary was worth selling out the rule of law and hastening the destruction of America.

@AssociatedPress @politics-AssociatedPress
The judge, the law enforcement officials . . . #MAGA s that sit in judgment. Yeah, how about that?
These ppl with their racist, white supremacy agendas will have to be dealt with in some way. #DOJ should repeat charges. Trespassing and treason fit.
@rameshgupta @KamalaHarrisWin Agreed. My toot was carefully worded. #Oligarchs are #AboveTheLaw and are all #narcissists who feel they owe allegiance to no country.
Never mind the #immunity #ruling. #Trump can be #prosecuted for #January6th #Insurrection.
The #SupremeCourt’s #ruling does not place Trump #abovethelaw regarding his #attempts to #overturn the #2020election

Every one of these Republicans should be voted out of office. #GOPCorruptionOverCountry should just be intolerable to every American.

ALSO:
Anyone thinking "we can just elect a #Democratically controlled #Congress" to keep T**** in check:
1) #Project2025 lays out how T**** can do everything by "#ExecutiveOrder", bypassing #Congress.
2) #SCotUS has placed the #Potus #AboveTheLaw and declared his actions "can't even be questioned."
So, it's Win the WH or it's all over. No "backup plan". #TheProsecutorVsTheFelon #Harris4President #Harris2024 #Buttigieg4VP
Yes, the #polls are still bad and #Democrats have a LOT more work to do (they need to remind people everyday the consequences of putting #TheOrangeMenace back in charge with these new #SCotUS #Immunity powers that place him #AboveTheLaw are potentially CATASTROPHIC.)
But on this #4thofjuly, some "good" news: #DarthTraitor's lead has shrunk to just 2.9% (down from 6%) in the latest #RCP polling average. T**** may be doing rallies, but he's NOT doing interviews b/c he KNOWS what will happen.
#Biden called #SCOTUS’ decision a “dangerous precedent” that fundamentally alters the longstanding belief in the #UnitedStates that no one should be #AboveTheLaw.
“I know I will respect the limits of the presidential powers, as I have for 3½ years, but any president, including Donald #Trump, will now be free to ignore the #law.”
Biden said he agreed w/Justice Sonia #Sotomayor, who wrote that “with fear for our #democracy, I dissent.”
#POTUS #Biden warned on Mon that #SCOTUS’ decision on presidential #immunity meant that there were “virtually no limits on what the president can do” & urged voters to prevent #Trump from returning to the WH freed from the constraints of the #law.
“The American people must decide if they want to entrust the presidency once again — to Donald Trump,” Biden said, “knowing he’ll be more emboldened to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it.”
#SCOTUS Puts #Trump #AboveTheLaw
And gives him permission for a despotic second term.
By Adam Serwer
Near the top of their sweeping, #lawless opinion in Trump v. #UnitedStates, Donald Trump’s defenders on the #SupremeCourt repeat one of the most basic principles of American constitutional government: “The president is not above the law.” They then proceed to obliterate it.

"If they can do this to me, they can do this to anybody." - #ConvictedFelon Donald T****.
First thing he's ever got right in his life.
I keeping thinking about this quote though. Is he saying #TheQuietPartOutLoud? Does he believe he's supposed to be #AboveTheLaw?
