trump installs an ag to replace the previous ag he fired solely because he rightfully recused himself from overseeing the mueller probe.

mueller now 'wrapping up' despite several ongoing investigations and work with dc us attorneys office still developing.

meanwhile family members of the new ag are being oddly re-positioned. his son-in-law just joined the white house legal team. and his daughter just joined the financial crimes division of the treasury that deals with money laundering.

his handpicked choice to replace rosenstein as deputy ag (the job in the doj with the most hands-on responsibility)? someone with zero doj or prosecutorial experience. oh and he also happens to be the right hand of mitch mcconnells wife at the department of transportation and long time friends with barr.

blatant corruption and nepotism like this (and trumps fam) doesnt happen in healthy democracies.

people should be viewing america through the lens of a worldwide trend of democracy backsliding. because the same playbook has been repeating itself through several similar variations in different countries.

the president of once-democratic turkey gutted his police force and killed a wide-ranging corruption investigation into him and his appointees.

the same thing is taking place here.

while the media fascinates itself with kamala harris rap trivia and elizabeth warren 23andme results...banana republicans are systematically dismantling checks and balance on the way to establishing one-party rule.

did the machines (with no verifiable paper trail) undercount votes in the lt gov race...or did they overcount votes in the gov race?
