Wow, another Stone prosecutor, Jonathan Kravis, resigns as an AUSA. No ambiguity here.

A mutiny, and a damn righteous and necessary one.

Kravis’ withdrawal notice, unlike Zelenski’s, specifies he’s resigned from DOJ. He put his career & livelihood on the line. Prosecutors don’t do that lightly. Here, it’s being done to say the rule of law is being trampled by Trump & Barr.

in St. Petersburg to interfere with the 2016 United States presidential election.

Amazing how Barr tries to hide his conflict of interest this way.

This could lead to his impeachment by the House. Forever.

I hope Barr is disbarred.

why the cat grabber will not leave office. He cannot afford to have the DOJ fall into democratic hands. He now needs to maintain power in order to control, and prevent, any investigations into his obvious criminality. So, even if defeated in the election in November, he will claim there was rampant voting violations and that America was being robbed of its rightful leader. He will not leave. What will we do when that happens?
