Given the proven thuggery of the DOJ, the immediate reaction to this is that it’s just another politically motivated action. Sad that one has to draw that immediate conclusion until proven otherwise....
The corruption from the DOJ just drips everywhere.
“West Virginia Gov Jim Justice’s family sued by Biden DOJ after he announces run for Manchin’s Senate seat”
It’s not the DOJ now, it’s DOI as in Department of Injustice
They’re never gonna stop with the lawfare.
Justice and his family business unfortunately is a target rich environment. They are known for unethical business practices. Such as not paying subcontractors; forcing them to sue to get paid to mine safety violations where rather than fix them fight it out in court.
This is well known in the state. Because of it I was shocked he got elected the first time. He was elected in 2016 because:
a) He & his family saved the Greenbriar Resort,
b) He’s a billionaire (One of two in the state!),
c) He ran as a Rat in 2016 prior to running he had been GOP. Switched back after Trump won. (It was trending GOP anyway!)
He’s actually been a good governor. I attribute half of that to the super-majority GOP legislature. My main gripe with his governing was his overly cautious COVID actions.
Not all Rat legal actions are lawfare where its made up. If your past actions create opportunities for the Rats to use against you. They will be used!
Probably part of the deal Manchin made.
The most blatantly political DOJ this country has had in its history.
If this isn’t an example of the Biden admin using the DOJ as a weapon against its enemies, I don’t know what is.
Meanwhile, the DOJ and FBI have had Hunter Biden’s damning laptop for three years - telling us it is “Russian Disinformation.”
Stinking communist bastards continue to run roughshod over the Aamerican serfs...
This damnable administration has probably prepared dozens of such and similar suits to be served on those that dare to cross them or the party.
