Legal Brain Drain

About 20% of all lawyers employed by the federal government left in the 14 months following Trump regaining office.

The Department of Justice, which is overseen by Trump, is criminally investigating a woman a jury essentially found Trump raped, not because she supposedly lied about the rape, but because she may have initially lied about whether somebody helped pay a portion of her legal bills, which her attorneys corrected on the legal record before the trial began.

The Corrupt Settlement

The President of the United States has essentially agreed to settle a lawsuit with himself for which he will decide which allies, supporters, and entities associated with him will receive $1.7 billion of tax payer money ostensibly for what he perceives as unjust treatment by his political opponent. This should be shocking, but it is not.
