The Many Faces of US Politics...

[J70]

I wonder if/when the current shower of shite leaves the WH there may be a day of reckoning for all the current criminality/corruption.

Starting with Hesgeth.

No, becuase if the Dems somehow win in 2028, they'll appoint an ultra-cautious, by-the-book, AG like Merrick Garland who still thinks in the manner of a normal, responsible, before-times justice official and bends over backwards not to be seen as partisan.

Besides, Trump will pardon everyone in advance anyway, especially the likes of Hegseth, Bondi, Patel and Noem.

And yeah, Biden did that with the likes of Liz Cheney, but that was specifically because he knew bogus investigations and indictments would be coming as we have seen with James Comey and Tish James.

   It took dozens of special agents the best part of a decade to bring Juan Orlando Hernández to justice for flooding US cities with cocaine. Then, in a single social media post last week, Donald Trump set the former Honduran president free.

"People risked their lives for this investigation," said a former agent at the US Drug Enforcement Administration, one of several law enforcement officials involved in tracking Hernández who voiced their frustration to the Financial Times. "Why are we taking a tough stance against [Venezuela's] Nicolás Maduro . . . and letting this guy go?"

The pardon of Hernández is one of dozens issued by the US president over the past year to an array of convicted fraudsters, drug traffickers, tax evaders and unregistered foreign agents that have upended the American justice system and angered many within his own coalition.

[Look-Up!]

Trump may be very good at manipulation and self promotion but overall is an extremely dangerous idiot. Very domineering with insane ego and thinks he's a genius and always the smartest man in the room. But basically just operates on whims and instinct. Harmless enough to an extent when he was just bankrupting casinos and stiffing contractors, but given the office he holds, a disaster waiting to happen. WTF must some in those agencies be thinking.
