Mary Trump - The Further Destruction of the DOJ

In the last year, the rapidity with which Donald’s Department of Justice has devolved into an institution that solely exists for the purposes of protecting his self-interest and going after his perceived political and personal enemies is difficult to process. But the dismantling of the DOJ is something Donald has been attempting to effect since he first came into office in January 2017.

The degradation of the once-hallowed Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is most recently exemplified by the agency’s response to the murder of Renee Good.

Last Wednesday, several videos captured ICE agent, Jonathan Ross firing three shots into Good’s car. Good was unarmed; clearly did not pose a threat; and she was trying to drive away from Ross. These facts are not in dispute and are documented from multiple angles.

Last week, the FBI blocked Minneapolis law enforcement from the investigation, an extraordinary step that is not standard operating procedure in cases involving lethal police shootings. Soon after, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon made the indefensible decision that the Department of Justice would not investigate the killing of an unarmed American citizen by law enforcement.

Every single of the prosecutors needs to resign.

States and Counties could hire them.

Defence Attorney firms could hire them as well.
