Great job on reporting on this Adam, starting with your broadcast with Allison and now, this fine piece. I am passing the word along.

Of all the godawful, cynical, crazy illegal schemes that the current Trump administration has come up with these last 16 months, this one may take the cake. I don’t know how Acting (Bad Actor) AG Lange can come to work each day, much less look his children in the eye. He is destroying their and our futures. I hope the state and DC bar associations pick up their glacial pace and disbar these disgraceful excuses for a an attorney.

Since they no longer pretend they are not ripping us off right, left, and center, how many lawyers does it take to create the massive class action suit representing We, the People? Because Congress can't do it until ... you know. But why can't these criminals be sued if not arrested? They are not gods even though they thoroughly believe they are.

Congratulations to that blanche "lawyer"!! His actions have helped promoting drump's country (the former US of A) to the status of Banana Republic.

Massie and Raffensperger should turn independent or even Democratic, joining the coming blue wave that will give congressional powers to the Cleansers of trumpi, one of which will be to take blanched and other toadies, jail them, reverse and junk all their unAmerican nonsense, and start the re-creation of the Justice Dept.

I am thoroughly disgusted. Congress should be up in arms now; not tomorrow or the next day, week or month; NOW

If this isn’t authoritarianism in action what is? Perfectly legal, apparently. What Hanna Arendt had in mind with her “banality of evil”.

We let people like Raffensburger, who was held up as a hero by Democrats, twist in the wind by not prosecuting Trump et al leaving them open to further abuse from Trump and his cronies. Whatever happened with the prosecution in Georgia which died due to ethical claims against the lead prosecutor (a black female attorney) - seems fishy to me- like that was set up to fail or purposefully undermined. I don’t think of myself as under the thrall of conspiracy theories. The web of corruption and malfeasance is so deep and widespread I find myself reaching for a unifying theory to explain it, primarily in hopes of finding a way out eventually.
