The DOJ is set to wind down Trump’s federal cases.

Summary

Fox News hosts Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld on The Five controversially suggested the death penalty for prosecutors involved in Donald Trump’s criminal cases.

This comes as the Department of Justice prepares to wind down federal cases against Trump in line with a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.

Trump faces state charges in New York and Georgia, where he cannot use presidential pardons.

The hosts noted that Trump’s legal challenges appear to have strengthened his support, potentially aiding his return to the White House.

    Well couldn’t those prosecutors just go shoot the Fox news reporters calling for them to be killed? They all have gun rights too. They can stand their ground in self defense of death threats.

      Lol we don’t do that here. We just sit back and watch it happen because we’re all feckless cunts, government officials and all. Jack Smith and the like will take one last whiff of his own farts smiling as he imagines himself glorious on his high horse for being Above It All™ and then the ground comes out from under him as he gets hung. hanged.

      Edit: I making muchy good englishing

        To be fair, I feel like Jack Smith was absolutely sabotaged by his boss. Garland had ZERO interest in the investigations actually going anywhere. It’s part of why he waited so long to even get started on anything, and part of why he didn’t push back more forcefully against blatantly partisan judicial bullshittery.

          Wonderful Republican Merrick Garland. Literally suggested to Obama by Republicans for SCOTUS and then they gave him the finger anyway. Well they definitely got what they wanted in him. :/
