According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is considering a plan that would let federal prosecutors investigate and indict members of Congress unfettered by traditional oversight designed to stop political persecution.

Traditionally, before such an investigation could proceed, a prosecutor would have their case reviewed by the lawyers in the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section. But that would go away under the new proposal.

The report notes that, should the proposal go into effect, “a long-standing provision in the Justice Department’s manual that outlines how investigations of elected officials should be conducted” would be shunted aside and allow possible prosecutions based purely on politics.

      Hey, woa. The new “History makes great leader feel owies” law has been broken. People in uniforms have been dispatched to your location.

      Incidentally, your Spotify has been scanned ahead of time and you’ve been found guilty of having 1938 counts of DEI music.

      Also incidentally, you’ll get to ride the train line that has just been built! It goes straight to El Salvador.

      Adding incident to incidentally, they have brand new showers that don’t even use water.
