Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

^^ This.
They can't replace prosecutors with dumbfuck loyalist and expect to have successful prosecutions.
They're already trying this with Alina Habba, and that experiment is a disaster on such a scale that it would be Frontline news... Were it not for the news about the first shots of a civil war, or the president being a human-trafficking pedophile, or an unwarranted military action in Venezuela, or the disinitigration of NATO over Greenland...
A lot of the time a prosecutor doesn't have to be successful in order to fulfil their role, if no one is getting prosecuted for anything at a federal level... that works for these criminals too. Disrupt their enemies, ignore their allies, profit.
It's so cute seeing Americans facing a wannabe dictator for the first time. Meritocracy never works in systems like the one Trump is building. It'll take time, but they'll get to the point where everyone in the system (including judges) will be working for the system. I don't think people realize how small the window of opportunity to stop this is. It's been done so many times by so many people - the only interesting thing about all what's happening is that it's happening in the US.
Have you NOT been paying attention? They are already doing it. Sure, they are getting pushback on some of their prosecutors, but the next objective is to replace the judges, too, who won't push back, and will enthusiastically assist MAGA prosecutors into exploiting the system to punish political enemies.
Were only in the early steps. Just like AI, they will learn from their mistakes, and get "better."
Ah, but if the compent prosecutors stayed in place and acted incompetently that would prevent it?
Either way they are left with incompetent prosecutors, and this way also sends a message and warning to everyone, and helps embolden further resistance.
