The Justice Department we have long known is dead. As in many authoritarian states, it now exists as an arm of the government to punish the president’s enemies, regardless of the law. A tragedy for the country with lasting implications, even if this case is dismissed.

80% of educated conservative grievances stem from wanting to be accepted in educated liberal spaces without having to drop the open biases that are unacceptable in those spaces
Yet another community this administration is trying to throw under the bus due to its cruelty and incompetence. People with genuine empathy and understanding should not let them get away with it.
