Trump Doesn’t Believe in Law and Order

He supports cops who target people of color. He attacks those who target him and his friends.

“Trump doesn’t believe in the rule of law. His record shows an uglier pattern: He supports cops when they target people of color. He opposes cops when they target him and his friends. 

He told officers not to worry about protecting suspects from injury during arrests. All along, he assumed that law enforcement was on his side. He bragged that “the cops,” like “the plumbers” and “the truck drivers,” were “the people that like me best.”  

There’s no mystery left about the president’s views on cops. He loves them when they’re targeting minorities. But when they investigate him or his friends, he calls them dirty. He’s not interested in order, justice, or the rule of law. He’s not even interested, as a matter of principle, in defending the police. He’s interested in corrupting them.“

The DOJ Report Didn’t Say Comey Lied. It Criticized the Way He Told the Truth.

Trump, not Comey, is the crook.

“Comey isn’t a crook. He’s a cowboy. Sometimes he ignores protocol or the chain of command to do what he thinks is right.”

“ If Comey hadn’t kept secret copies in his own safe he would have been, at that moment, completely stripped of the evidence of what Trump had done to him. “

“In a way, the DOJ report is poetic justice. It does to Comey exactly what he did to Clinton, publicly detailing his faults and transgressions even though he’s not being charged with a crime. You can argue that he deserves this castigation. But you can’t argue that he’s dishonest. Contrary to the president’s smear campaign, Comey isn’t being reprimanded for lying. He’s being reprimanded for the way he told the truth. “

There’s a Grand Jury in the Andrew McCabe Investigation #VaPolitics

The investigation into former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has proceeded to a grand jury, which could be a prelude for criminal charges, the Washington Post reported.

The grand jury has been in use for “months,” the Post said, “an indication the probe into whether he misled officials exploring his role in a controversial media disclosure has intensified.” The newspaper noted that the grand jury has called multiple witnesses.

McCabe was fired in March after months of criticism from conservatives and President Trump for McCabe’s role in the Russia investigation and his wife’s political connection to Clinton ally and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe when she ran for the Virginia Senate in 2015. This tenuous connection between McCabe and Clinton became one of the foundations of Trump’s “witch hunt” or “hoax” narrative used to discredit the FBI and the special counsel’s probe of the Trump campaign’s possible interactions with Russia.

These feverish allegations from Trump and other conservatives, however, were not the reasons given by Attorney General Jeff Sessions when he fired McCabe one day before McCabe was due to retire. Instead, Sessions cited an inspector general’s report that said McCabe had lied to investigators and misled then–FBI Director James Comey about information McCabe directed be disclosed to a Wall Street Journal reporter. The Department of Justice’s inspector general then referred the report to federal prosecutors to investigate for possible criminal charges.
