A federal judge has ruled that when Donald Trump's DOJ fired the highly acclaimed federal prosecutor, Maurene Comey, the DOJ violated federal law and her constitutional rights. Apparently, the DOJ failed to understand that as the Constitution commands, the president must take care to faithfully execute the laws of our nation. Donald Trump's Department of Justice has become a cesspool of lawlessness.

Donald Trump has priors on the election lies front. After his own executive branch and DOJ officials told him there was no fraud undermining his 2020 election loss, he indicated that he did not care, telling his officials, "just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republicans in Congress". This is conclusive evidence that Trump's current corrupt schemes to interfere in the upcoming midterms are complete and utter bullshit.

Donald Trump, Todd Blanche, and Jeanine Pirro have again misused the power of the Department of Justice to push a story into the public square that they obviously hope will impact the midterm elections.

The DOJ has criminally charged two former career FBI special agents with lying to Congress about an investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop. Notably, they did not do what prosecutors normally would do in such circumstances - present the evidence to a grand jury to see if the grand jury agreed that there was enough evidence to indict the FBI agents. Instead, they seemed to have skipped the grand jury process and just filed a complaint against the agents, apparently to rush this information into the public square in the days leading up to the midterm elections.

Given that grand juries have, over and over again, REJECTED Pirro's attempts to indict people Trump wanted indicted...might this be why Pirro chose a complaint instead of indictment?

Glenn explains the difference between charging someone by complaint rather that presenting the evidence to a grand jury to see if there is enough evidence to indict the person.
