The Department of Justice is a serious institution full of committed public servants who have left literally millions on the table to try to do good. And now another Trump troll is shitposting in their name. Who can trust in the independence and integrity of prosecutions under these circumstances?
Another brilliant idea by the Trump WH to put the ‘Rapid React’ campaign ‘own the libs’ juvenile delinquents in charge of DOJ comms. Very professional.
