Clutch your pearls! It looks like Patel already did his homework. ;-)

“Clutch your pearls?” Quite the contrary. I am hoping Kash goes hunting for “enemies.”
Full speed ahead on Revenge! Chaos! Crazytown!
Give the electorate the America they signed up for!
Please!
And it looks like GOP Senators are starting to cave to the cult pressure. Give Trump whatever he wishes.
Please!

The effect of this post is to illustrate the historic quantity of incompetent people
the American people have been subjected to over the past decade-plus. I was looking the the list and saw people I had forgotten about who screwed something up or were malevolent forces. There isn't a single admirable person on your list, and most are lying scoundrels who've grown rich through their lies and their roles worming into prominent positions to enrich themselves. What a way to send OF posters off to bed. Aside from the death merchants on your little list, just the memory of Nina Jankowicz performing Mary Poppins is nightmare-inducing, nevermind her planned assault on free speech.
Translation: MAS agrees there is no evidence of criminality on Kash’s target list.

Based on the past eight years, it doesn't matter what evidence is present/absent.
And yes, yes, I know, all the Republicans your tribe prosecuted were guilty, and all the Democrats and allies on your list are innocent. Let's just move that out of the way. I think this is great, and it's the only way by which you folks might be dissuaded from pursuing what has been termed "lawfare" again. I told you for years that the worm would eventually turn, and your guys would be in the prosecutorial crosshairs. What did you think would happen after your party behaved as it did? Predictably, you're whining when you have to take what you dished out. Elections have consequences and your guys established the new rules and standards. Now, some of your guys are going to have to sweat it, and a few may end up in court. I don't know, maybe the Trump Administration's DOJ will coordinate with DAs in several red, rural areas to simultaneously charge some of these people with crimes? Maybe a top DOJ official will volunteer to take a demotion by accepting a job in one of these lower-paying, rural jurisdictions to help guide some cases through the courts?
Enjoy, conor. You truly deserve this, as do they. Hey, how many WaPo subscribers canceled over the last couple weeks? How many thousands? It's all seems to be about to crash to the ground,
It actually does matter what evidence is present/absent. And you know it.
The notion that Trump was prosecuted as political lawfare was his political narrative. He never mounted a factual defense to the indictments or evidence against him.
There are no crimes committed by Trump’s or Kash Patel’s “enemies” list. Period.
I beg and invite Patel and Biondi to launch criminal prosecutions against their “enemies.” The cases will go nowhere and will symbolize what Trump 2.0 is all about. You of course will know the criminal investigations are meritless, but consistent with this thread, pretend that such abuse of power is no different than Jack Smith’s prosecutions against Trump. Quite the contrary.
Well said. A good summary of this past era.
…and of course, all of the people that the Biden/Obama people victimized are now documented “criminals” in their minds.

Did you know that that Kushner guy went to prison for tax evasion?
You told us no one is prosecuted for that.
And?

It was probably selective and vindictive prosecution, right?
What's incredible is that you guys have been lamenting the "attacks on our sacred institutions" and then The Big Guy comes out against his own DOJ.
Swing batta batta. Let us know when you find a federal case that matches Hunter’s facts.
Not saying I agree with President Biden’s Pardon of his son, but I fully appreciate the equities governing the decision.

…..it was more than evasion that this scum was convicted of. Who would do that to his own sister?
Our new pardoned ambassador to Switzerland, that’s who.
The idea of an FBI Director coming into office with a target enemies list is even more repugnant than Charlie Kushner’s crime against his own family.
Yet the dirtbag cultists will defend it.
