Who gives a snot what kind of libel that the USAID grifters at Politico put out about The Cleanest Guy In Washington, President Trump?
I did not see the speech at the DoJ, but I can imagine what President Trump said, as he's said it all before during his rallies.
Let me guess... the DoJ is corrupt, they spied on his campaign, they lied to the FISA courts, they went after parents at school board meetings while letting terrorists and murderors and arsonists and looters go free...
...they weaponized the IRS against conservative groups, they conspired with state courts to file phony charges against him, they raided his home and indicted him in federal court for documents they absolved Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden for having when they didn't have the authority to possess them and he did...
...yada yada yada...
Just today, a lowly district court judge ORDERED President Trump to order an airplane with Venezuelan deportees to return to the United States! Where does a district court judge get THAT authority?!?
So forgive me if I don't take Politico's cue for outrage seriously.
Politico: "bellicose speech... he delivered an insult-laden speech that shattered the traditional notion of DOJ independence."
Selective outrage makes me suspect the people who are complaining. The prior administration cheered that quote when it was their side saying it about Trump, but now they are calling it outrageous that President Trump DARE to say it about them FROM THE DOJ ITSELF like some conquering hero??!?
I think the "notion of DOJ independence" was "shattered" the day that Eric Holder declared himself to be Obama's "wingman." Politico saying this about President Trump is nothing more than selective outrage.
When the President says he's going to clean up the Department of Justice and return one tier of justice and one rule of law for all, and the response by department management is to lie to the Attorney General about possession of documents, to barracade one's self in his office and email the staff to "dig in" for "war;" when the response at USAID is to burn documents; when the response from other departments is to run to the district courts to order the reinstatement of legally terminated probationary workers; can't a resonable person assume some truth by the reactions of the people involved?
When President Trump says "These are people that are bad people, really bad people... the people who did this to us should go to jail," isn't he simply saying the same things that the former DoJ leadership was saying about him? Didn't Obama's and Biden's DoJ actually jail former Trump adminstration officials: Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro?
Manafort was Trump's campaign manager for one month, and for that they went after him for failing to register as a foreign agent. Didn't they refuse to file those same charges against Hunter Biden?
Steve Bannon was President Trump's co-campaign manager after the convention, and for that they subpoenaed him, charged him with contempt of Congress, and jailed him. Didn't Eric Holder get charged with contemp of Congress? Did Holder get jailed?
Paul Navarro was similarly charged with contempt of Congress for failing to appear when subpoenaed and sent to prison for it. Didn't Hunter Biden fail to appear before Congress when he was subpoenaed? When was Biden sent to prison for it?
Selective outrage; select justice; selective journalism.
So what point were you trying to make with this link? Are you suggesting that Vance's comments about Europe's open immigration of Muslims being "civilizational suicide" is wrong or inappropriate? Mark Steyn has been saying the same thing since the early 2000s and it's only gotten worse.
Vance is probably referring to the rape gangs in Germany, and Germany's attempt to silence the news. Maybe it was the case of the German woman who was gang raped by Egyptian, Libyan, Kuwaiti, Iranian, Armenian, Afghan, and Syrian boys, and then four years later convicted of defamation and jailed for a weekend for calling one of her convicted rapists a 'disgraceful rapist pig." Her convicted rapist was given a suspended sentence and served no jail time.
He might be referring to Sweden's recent reversal of its immigration policies. He might also be thinking about how the French and the British are losing cultural control of their own countries due to Muslim migration.
But I'd like to know your point in posting the link about President Trump's speech at the Department of Justice to a thread about Vance's comments about Europe?

What, you agree with Raskin’s take on it?
Trump was speaking the truth, and he is the ultimate executive leading the DoJ. The DoJ and FBI need massive flushing, and those who conspired to overturn 2020 should be held accountable.
I’d think you’d embrace Trump’s exercise of his free speech by openly addressing a department that needs a spanking.
