Normalizing jailing former presidents? Don't threaten me with a good time.
Normalize jailing sitting ones too while they’re at it.
I'm going to laugh so hard if this is their 5D chess move.
Only Democrat.
Omg, are we finally going to see a Congress that's serious about enforcing subpoena power?
Cause I remember the J6 Committee subpoenas getting laughed off five years ago.
Beyond Scavino, the panel has also subpoenaed former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former adviser Steve Bannon and Kash Patel, a former chief of staff to then-Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller.
And a quick Where Are They Now query indicates none of them went to jail. Hell, Kash Patel is running the FBI. What a twist!!
I gotta wonder what was going on back then...

The DOJ has interpreted “Congress” to mean only the full House or Senate or their committees or subcommittees — but not individual members. This interpretation provides the executive branch with a loophole, allowing it to stymie valid information requests from individual members of Congress by limiting the type of information individual members can access. According to this loophole, members of Congress — who are duly elected and have sworn an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States — can access only documents and correspondence that are available to the general public. This DOJ loophole is at odds with the principles of our democracy, and it undermines Article I of our Constitution.
Damn that Extremist Conservative DOJ! Ah well, nothing we can do. Just didn't have the votes to change things back then.
Bill Clinton: Yes, release all the Epstein files.
Also Bill Clinton: You expect me to testify? LMAO
The worst part of this is they see it as a "look, you're going to defend your people so don't come after ours, checkmate, we're super brainy, our way wins" whereas in reality, if they broke the law, fuck em. Anybody who breaks the law and pulls some shit deserves what they get, regardless of "politic view"
And this is supposed to surprise me... how exactly?
Here's the thing, justice will only come by the Proletariat, if you want justice for this or anything else, you will do it yourself and not wait for the Elites to investigate themselves and find then not guilty.
