How was the Trump/Adams quid pro quo not corruption? 7 DoJ prosecutors resigned rather than sign the dismissal, because the corruption case against Adams is a slam dunk and absolutely should proceed. Who eventually signed it? A just-appointed official whose former job was one of Trump's personal lawyers.

How is Trump using executive orders to punish law firms he doesn't like not corruption?

Open your eyes, man.

Adams only began to be investigated when he came out against Biden immigration policies. It's another example of lawfare, the same as the bogus Trump investigations.

The law firms he's going after are the ones that knowingly lied and generated the whole "Russia Collusion" conspiracy theory. If they are willing to sell their integrity so cheaply, they deserve be barred.

  • Look at the actual facts of the Adams case. Regardless of policy, politics, party, whatever - it's blatant corruption that approaches sending an email saying "hell yeah we would like to do that illegal thing! let's go!"

    It deserved to be charged, and it deserves to be prosecuted fully. I do not accept corruption from government officials regardless of the letter after their name on the ballot.

    We have an adversarial legal system. Law firms take up a variety of positions for a variety of reasons. Even the most despicable criminal deserves a vigorous defense at trial. If they did something illegal, charge and prosecute them. Executive orders are entirely the wrong vehicle. It's wielding presidential authority like a mob boss.

    Keep drinking that kool-aid.

      Granted, but bad faith lying for political reasons should not be included in that.

    Where's the lie? It's a fact Trump's 2016 campaign held a meeting in his home with a Russian spy to discuss an exchange of relaxed relations for dirt on Clinton. It's a fact Russia hacked the DNC and Trump helped disseminate the content of that hack. It's also a fact that Trump's campaign manager exchanged internal campaign data with a Russian intelligence officer, while the GRU was waging an influence campaign on social media targeting Americans to sway the election.

    How is that not collusion?
