There’s probably going to be a lawsuit over the use of deadly force. The real question is whether this DOJ will back him up or hang him out to dry.

I would add that the Mueller report noted the Trump campaign’s use of encrypted messaging apps, likely resulted in the destruction of potential Trump-Russia evidence. Too bad Pete Hegseth wasn’t involved in those group chats…

The law would be clearly unconstitutional; well “unconstitutional” as determined by any Supreme Court in the last 250 years except the current one…
Another thing MSM isn’t reporting:

Now this administration wants to strip people of their right to travel and their right to free speech.

If this bill passes, what you say or write could cause you to lose your passport.

If the CIA director provided evidence to the FBI that led to a search warrant in the Bolton case, how does the FBI properly “wall off” CIA intelligence when building a criminal case? Also, what safeguards exist to protect sources and methods?

We’ll have to wait and see what the FBI finds in the Bolton search and whether they’ll retroactively classify any documents they seize, like what happened with Clinton’s emails.

Consequently, these angry young men are gravitating toward positions within DHS, where they find belonging, institutional authority, and empowerment.
