We aren’t talking enough about the real victims in the shocking quid pro quo that’s likely to end the #criminal case against New York’s corrupt Mayor Eric Adams. His promise to allow President #Trump #immigration #cops free rein in America’s largest city is #terrorizing essential New Yorkers that their mayor should be protecting. inquirer.com/opinion/commentar #ruleofaw #AttorneyGeneral #maga #corruption #legalresearch

The Philadelphia Inquirer · The real victims of Eric Adams’ NYC corrupt bargain might go to GitmoBy Will Bunch

Newly confirmed #Trump #AttorneyGeneral #PamBondi is expected to order a review of the cases brought against #Trump, including those undertaken by prosecutors in #NewYork who successfully #convicted him in court.

Sworn in at the White House on Wednesday, Bondi intends to issue a series of memos aimed at curbing the so-called weaponization of the #DOJ….

She will order the review of the #criminal & #civil cases against Trump….

#PeteHegseth, who is seeking to lead the Dept of #Defense, & #PamBondi, Trump’s selection for #AttorneyGeneral, were greeted warmly by Senate #Republicans during their confirmation hearings, despite withering questions from Democrats about their #independence from #Trump & other matters. Bondi declined to distance herself from Trump’s lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, & Hegseth dodged questions about whether he would…order US #troops to shoot #protesters.

House #Ethics Cmte rept accused former Rep #MattGaetz R/Fla of regularly paying 4 sex, using illegal #drugs, having sexual relations with 17-year-old girl in 2017. The report concluded that the actions by Mr. #Gaetz #Trump former pick for #attorneygeneral violated state sexual misconduct laws, including #Florida’s statutory #rape law, & violated House rules. But the committee said it did not find conclusive evidence that he violated federal sex trafficking laws. #congress ethics.house.gov/wp-content/up

"While no one should underestimate what Bondi is capable of, she’ll find herself at loggerheads with Trump eventually. “Trump turned against all his prior attorneys general when they retained a shred of respect for the rule of law,” said Michael Sozan, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. “He’s expecting Bondi to be an arsonist. It won’t end well for her. It will be even worse for the American people.”

There’s still another unsettling consideration here. If and when Trump pardons the January 6 attackers, media commentary will exude a strong push toward “turning the page” and “looking forward, not backward.” But as Brian Beutler argues, all this impulse really does is risk encouraging exponentially more right-wing degeneracy later. Indeed, this instinct toward absolution will be doubly absurd coming even as Trump is preparing to escalate the lawlessness and unleash sadistic persecution of an ever-expanding list of enemies within."

usnews.com/opinion/articles/20 Forget #MattGaetz. #MerrickGarland Is America’s Worst #AttorneyGeneral. His abject failure to hold #Trump accountable doomed us. While Garland dragged his feet, a House committee of 7 Democrats, 2Republicans spent 18 months painstakingly investigating the events of #Jan6, releasing blistering 845-page report govinfo.gov/app/details/GPO-J6 heaped blame for #insurrection at 1 man’s doorstep. None of the events of #Jan6 would have happened w/out him #trump #insurrection #democracy
