Trump's arrest of Don Lemon shows that his "pivot" is an utter farce. As legal experts tell me, this looks appallingly corrupt. Indeed, it's likely this is all about sending a message that Trump isn't deescalating in the slightest.

New piece with fresh details here:

Trump’s ICE Agents Arrested Don Lemon. Then the Story Got Even Darker.
Trump has been raging about the former CNN journalist. Attorney General Pam Bondi just had him arrested, a move one legal expert slammed as “highly irregular.”

Trump’s whining about his 2020 defeat is easy to ignore. His actions are not:
- FBI's ridiculous search in Fulton County
- hiring Kurt Olsen to focus exclusively on conspiracy theory
- directing DOJ to find imaginary evidence of fraud
- demanding baseless prosecutions

As the FBI searches Fulton County, Trump’s 2020 election fixation has escalated beyond whining
When it comes to his 2020 defeat, what the president is doing is now more alarming than what he’s saying.

It’s good to see Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) asking the same obvious question:

Why is the man who shot and killed Alex Pretti still on the job? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Lawmakers ask why the agent who shot and killed Alex Pretti is still on the job
“It defies common sense — and is completely inexcusable — that the agent who killed Alex Pretti ... is already back in the field,” one key congressman said.

The White House called Alex Pretti an “assassin.”

They called Renee Good a “domestic terrorist.”

And their investigations are shutting out local officials.

They tell Americans not to believe ‘their lying eyes.’

But no one can believe a word they say.

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.

Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

“A decade ago, Trump intuited at some level that the end point of his power to command the minds of his followers would be a killing on the street. What was once seen as a joke has attained the status of a prophecy.”

ICE is clearly out of control. This week the Senate can actually do something about it.

Sen. Chuck Schumer and other key Democrats seem to finally understand the urgency of this extraordinary moment.

Alex Pretti's shooting in Minneapolis turned Senate Democrats against ICE and DHS funding at a pivotal moment, with another shutdown looming.

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after:

They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.

"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Their defence is he had it drawn ready to shoot agents. They did what they did to disarm him. Truth is he didn’t. It was in its holster. It was removed by an ICE agent (herein after referred to as ARSE agents) and then he was shot. Whilst un armed. That’s fact.
