It's been extremely disappointing that all of this time has gone by, and absolutely nobody has been held accountable.

Is the Trump DOJ truly unraveling? All I hear out of them is more lies and gaslighting.

The department of Justice is doing the dirty work for Trump. In my 73 years I've never seen such corruption in our government as much as I've seen in the last 9 months. The fact we have all these laws and we can't seem to hold him responsible for this type of corruption is beyond me. This is a failed society if we don't correct this soon.

Even now people are not seeing what is in front of them. The latest emails show Epstein giving the Russians kompromat on Trump. This explains the Russia "hoax", the Epstein "hoax". Interesting how Trump uses "hoax" in both. It explains everything. It explains Ukraine. It explains Bondi and Patel. This is HUGE! Hundreds of thousands have died because of this. No Nobel Peace Prize for Trump.
