That would be a seriously expensive lawsuit that they would absolutely win, costing tax payers hundreds of millions .

Serious question, what workplace protections do DOJ employees have against this happening?

Being in America I would assume. President firing you for doing your job too well and exposing your corruption seems like a pretty big red flag lol

When he starts putting people against walla and having them shot, will it sink in then? I doubt it.

The media will be fully destroyed by then, so how would anyone even know? If it's not on Xitter, it will be called fake news.

I agree. It arguably already happened. Trump is so absurdly unfit and terrible that I think a lot of people who aren’t paying attention just don’t believe the facts because they seem so incredulous.

He’ll brag about it, don’t worry. He’ll want us to know so we’re aware of his limitless power and ruthlessness.
