Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.
The Trump administration is a criminal organization.
This is a transparently corrupt, impeachable offense.
When Trump is removed from office his actions and entire executive legacy must be expunged from the government.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

Honestly, some of these emails read like the rants mentally ill people send to me when they ask to sue the DOJ for $450 million.
The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.
