And what separates us is to a rule of law country as opposed to just a transactional country. And that is what we have become. And I think it's so important not to normalize what is happening.

This is insidious that the White House would have this role so that they can, I mean, they say they're doing it to counter weaponization, but that again is the doublespeak. This is weaponization of the Department of Justice by a political actor.

Yeah. Well, and also the normalization is nobody within the administration, obviously pushing back. That is a huge difference from Trump 1.0, but you don't have anybody at the department of justice. Remember attorney general sessions was basically canned because he understood whatever you thought of his policies. He understood that the department is different and had to be independent.

And that was his sin, right? You don't have anyone in Congress raising a ruckus about this, that this is such a fundamental challenge to what it means to be a democracy that the department, in spite of the attorney general during her confirmation hearing saying, mouthing the words, it's absolutely clear that's not what's going on.

That's a great question. I think that the chilling effect is real and is happening right now. to just the process of having to hire lawyers, going through the process of defending yourself, that is a cost.

In terms of the president saying that Miles Taylor engaged in treason, well, first of all, there used to be a war going on, a real war, not what he says is happening with the gang TDA invading our country. It was a war. The deep state was engaging in a war against Trump. That's the war. Yeah. Yeah, it's obviously not treason.
