    …and if he wants to stay out of prison and/or live he might want to get the fuck out of the USA pronto after resigning.

      might want to get the fuck out of the USA pronto

      Probably not a bad idea in general.

      This is true, and incredibly fucked up. Have to flee for pursuing facts and attempting to enforce the rule of law.

        Oh it goes for so much more than just that, although those are obviously the most at risk. The minority groups are just who they’ll come after first so we better stand by them when it happens.

    Article does a very poor job of discussing precedence and likelihood that report does get release and when? Can Congress release it? Under what circumstances? Can Garland release it? How? Can Biden release it? How?

    Need pressure on the systems that still exist to act before the 20th
