"Weβre a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."
The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob bossβs network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.
