YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump and his people have talked for years about how the Democrats have been weaponizing the Justice Department. It’s been a motif. Any time one of his crimes came under any kind of scrutiny, the DoJ is weaponized.
It was always absurd and transparent.
But now that repetition feels like it was intended to soften the ground for when he actually took on the task of weaponizing the Department of Justice.
As Liz Oyer, a former pardon attorney at the DOJ, and Lincoln Square Executive Editor Susan J. Demas discussed, the remaking of our legal system is unprecedented, unethical, politically motivated, and totally in service of Trump’s personal reputation — not justice.
I know there is so much being said now about Ghislaine Maxwell’s potential pardon, but frankly, it’s not possible to say enough about it. Here is a woman who is not only serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking minors. There is no legal basis for releasing her, and doing so would be an enormous betrayal of the victims whose lives she destroyed.
She’s also been deemed non-credible. In other words, Trump clearly isn’t looking for truth. He is looking for cover, and he’s willing to turn his back on victims of sex trafficking to get it.
