So, you know, we have a culture of cover-up, which is convenient domestically and internationally.
And I think that is one of the many concerning things about what has become a culture of impunity domestically and internationally.
What we are confronting, you know, you had J.D.
Vance and others assert that.
completely falsely, for example, that all ICE officers have, quote, complete immunity.
There's no such thing as complete immunity.
It's a legal fiction.
But what they are granting them is political impunity.
That is, first of all, extremely dangerous.
But secondly...
as you suggest, not going to be legally viable when Trump leaves office.
These people will still, many of them, within the statute of limitations, be subject to criminal investigation.
Now, Trump has exercised his pardon powers in ways that
exceed anything that is rational or moral or just and surely he will go out the door in a flurry of pardons but there are too many people and too many apparent crimes that are being committed that will merit investigation
These people are people who took an oath to serve and protect, to defend the Constitution.
I certainly think in the ranks of the military, and I hope the majority of law enforcement take that oath seriously.
But apparently there are more than a few that don't.
And so to them should be accountability.
Well, Nicole, I think that's right.
I think that's why the horrific shooting, killing of Renee Good has struck such a chord in Americans of all stripes.
