Senate Republicans are warning New York Judge Juan Merchan not to sentence former President Trump to prison or house arrest or take any other action that could disrupt the likely GOP nominee’s abil…
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said it would be a “further abuse of power” to incarcerate Trump or sentence him to home confinement.
“I’m very troubled by what I see in the way the courts have been weaponized,” he said. “It used to be there were some institutions in America, namely the FBI, the Department of Justice and the courts, which were regarded as out of bounds for overt partisan politics, but unfortunately that’s changed, and not for the better.”
I am at a loss for how true his words are, while his intent is SO SO wrong
His aim here is to provide cover for the politicians that actually do want to and have attempted to weaponize federal law enforcement in the past, Trump and other Republicans.
I could go on. So many instances where he ordered law enforcement officials to launch baseless investigations to harass his political opponents. Even Barr of all people at one point was threatening to resign because of how far Trump had gone! The guy explicitly brought in by Trump because he felt Jeff Sessions wasn’t directly doing his bidding enough.
All this while simultaneously trying to delegitimize our entire justice system trying to hold Trump and his cronies liable for their many criminal activities over the past eight years.
Gaslight, obstruct, and project.
Definitely heading for a Russian style “democracy” if the gop is allowed to return to power.

The only answer is for Trumplethinskin to perform 1000 hours of community service beginning in September.
Fuck that. Make that rancid tub of orange crisco sweat his bronzer off picking up garbage after a Biden rally in the middle of July.
Probably a death sentence for him, so maybe we just do house arrest for 4 years, and fine him for his “ill-gotten” gains between 2016 and now.
