In one of his 1st moves in office, Va.'s new Republican AG reached down into the state's university system and fired the top lawyer at UVA -- a lawyer who went on leave from the school last year to be the top investigator on the Jan. 6 committee nytimes.com/2022/01/23/us/…
@nytmike Civil rights violation for exercise of free speech and of association. Add to that extortion and obstruction, by trying to threaten those who would cooperate with the investigation and those conducting same. The DOJ needs to have a talk with Youngkin.
@GonzoNorthWest @nytmike No way in hell you ever had the first contact with any part of the justice system with this comment.
@GonzoNorthWest @nytmike Suspect the lawyer can handle himself in this case right away in whatever way necessary. DOJ has bigger civil rights issues it’s dealing with. Like voting.
@GonzoNorthWest @nytmike Similar happens in Florida all the time - its straight out of the DeSantis playbook. He knows its illegal but it fires up the base and reversal takes a long time and costs a fortune.
