On Tuesday, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the son of West Virginia Governor Jim Justice as well as his son's coal companies, coming just weeks after Justice announced a run for Sen. Joe Manchin’s seat in 2024.
The DOJ sued 13 coal companies that are owned or operated by Jim Justice III, alleging the operations violated their legal obligations under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and "have failed to pay uncontested penalties assessed for their uncontested violations."

Mark Levin is right: rename the DoJ as the 'Stasi'.
