Mail is getting to hit or miss. I lived on Centenary Ave in Cleveland until a few years ago and it was so bad there we would get the mail and walk around exchanging the correct mail with our neighbors.

And to think, no one from Cleveland called out your (rich) high horse for having to deal with most everyone else's everyday problems. Just kidding. I grew up in Cleveland. Thanks for the great Halloween times ( not kidding about that)

The only thing I know is that I don't feel like seeing your 943rd Trump thread.

I would argue this is a fairly significant event. History standards teach the Saturday Night Massacre, and this rivals that as far as a surprising turn of events.

Out of protest at DOJ over the order to dismiss the case.

The one in New York clerked for Scalia. She's as conservative as you get. And she says the Trump DOJ officials who met with her on this destroyed notes of their meeting.

How do the board conservatives feel about this ? Heck, she's in the Federalist Society and was appointed by Trump!

If not for the utter dysfunction and blatant disregard for the Constitution by Trump & Co, this would be headline news for the next month. But it's just one more case of absolute corruption and illegal actions by this Administration. They've conditioned people to accept this ******** as normal.

Refresh my memory - how did the left leaning folks on the board react when charges were first announced against Adams? Any skepticism at the time?

Even if Adams is willing to turn states evidence and testify against higher ups? Isn't that common practice in the DOJ when it comes to Mob trials?

I don't believe I expressed any. Seemed like he had engaged in plenty of sketchy shenanigans.

Of course, Trump orders us to look the other way since Adams has now promised that he will try to make Trump look good.

You're very brave to defy Trump's orders. Inspired resistance, LG.

Well, so he can pardon him but his administration can't dropped the charges?

1. I figured everyone would be numb by now to examples of selective prosecution/non-prosecution. I know I am. We've had a least 10 years of this and likely more and it is the most bi-partisan action in government next to spending more money.

2. I fail to see how this is a "Constitutional Crisis" if the actions are not a violation of the Constitution. If DOJ has the prerogative to drop the charges then so be it. Doesn't make it right but it doesn't make it a Constitutional Crisis.

They would be screaming if prosecutions happen or don't happen.

They would all be screaming if Obama, Biden and Hillary were indicted for murder, and it would probably take less than a hour to get an indictment if the administration wanted it.

The issue is the executive branch telling the judiciary when and when not to enforce the law. For all the hue and cry there has never been anything to show that Biden directed the DOJ to prosecute Trump, whereas we know for a fact that team Trump is causing the charges to be dropped against Adams.

There is more than one level of "Constitutional Crisis." This isn't the Senate ordering that the House of Representatives be dissolved. But it also isn't something minor that can be ignored. Its in the middle.

And the fact that a Scalia law clerk/Federalist Society/Trump appointed lawyer is crying foul over it gives you a pretty good indication of just how brazen the politics are. Personally, I found the report that Bove ordered destruction of notes of their meeting even more disturbing than the Adams prosecution order.

The DOJ is not part of the judiciary.

Are you sure you graduated law school?

I've been involved with some pretty bad ones, I doubt he is but it wouldn't necessarily surprise me either. He doesn't appear to know even the very basics.

The DOJ is supposed to make decisions independently of political influence by the sitting administration.

So, all the prosecutors showing up at the white house at the federal and state level weren't there to go after a political opponent, they were just there to discuss the white house garden?

If DOJ was truly independent, Obama, Biden and Hillary would have been indicted and convicted years ago, they admitted to their crimes.
