MAGAs will say it is sop to have the entire justice department resign because of presidential nonsense.

He crossed Biden by criticizing the lack of wall thing. So, they prosecuted him.

It's been called off.

No, he took bribes and solicited illegal campaign contributions, including from a foreign national. So they prosecuted him.

And since MAGA hates the law and loves corruption, they are now defending him.

They prosecutor that dropped the charges,will have to go.before a judge and explain and probably get referred for disbarment,lots of lawyers value their license than they value Trump,get disbarred for Trump criminal act,any lawyer can drop the charges,but will get reprimanded by the Judge

Typical previous administration lawfare. He mildly criticized the border policy (if that is apt).

You'd think a cop of over 20 years would have earned that right.

He was even on the previous incumbent's electoral committee.

Throw him in the clink to shut him up.

In his resignation letter, Scotten wrote: “No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives."

Exactly! Ideally, governments should not be corrupt. This is blatant corruption. The use of power should not be used in this way; threatening people (and make no mistake, not all who resigned are Democrats), to do their bidding. It's sad to think that these 7 prosecutors, who after reading more about them, are good people. They were doing their job and now the employment pool in the U.S. has suffered because of it. Gee, with all the layoffs, firings, and resignations, how is the unemployment rate going to be in a few months?

You seem to think that the a justice department full of criminals, grifters, and hacks will make you look good.

Do what y'all MAGA are telling us is that despite all evidence proving it, Adams did NOT take bribes? Or that you just don't care about law and order?

Convicted felons love fellow criminals and law breakers. Trump has an ever growing family.

Republicans: “We’re the party of law and order!” LOL!!!
