Lawsuit seeks to probe Uncle Sam's role in ICE-tracking app takedowns The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is suing two government departments to understand how they compelled tech companies to remove ICE-tracking apps and websites from their platforms. It is bringing the case against the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to find out if they used …

It'll be interesting to see how the rulers of TLotF respond to this:
(1) in what would once have been thought of as The American Way, or
(2) in what Americans would once have called the Russian or the Chinese way.
The Ruler in Chief now seems to be besties with Russia. Times change.

The follow up question to that should be 'how?'. This is the stumbling block that seems to get anti-Trumpers stuck. The Russia hoax is exposed. Obamas crew are under investigation and being referred for prosecution. 10% for the big guy was the last president. The FBI is under investigation for the 'Arctic Frost' investigation in another extreme example of the weaponised state.
However much sunlight is put on the corruption it is amazing people seem more preoccupied in their fantasies about Trump. Hell they prefer their fantasy complaints to complaining about real things Trump does.

This is the announcement back in July of a grand jury to investigate Obama officials.

Since then FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James had criminal charges however the judge threw the case which will apparently be appealed (this is where Bidens 'no one is above the law' gets tested).
Gabbard has since been declassifying and releasing documents directly contradicting the intentional lie about Trump-Russia in 2016. The original assessment being that Russia expected Hillary to win and had compromising material on her while having limited ability to influence elections.
CIA Director John Brennan lied to the HPSCI and is referred for prosecution-

Due to the illegal activities of Trump's incompetent appointees.
King President Donald must be fuming. But at least as King President he cannot be prosecuted for all his illegal activity, malevolence and malfeasance. So he won't end up like his friend Epstein.
@AC
"Due to the illegal activities of Trump's incompetent appointees."
What illegal activity? Will he be prosecuted? The previous U.S. Attorney was unwilling to prosecute criminal behaviour which brings back the Biden statement that no one is above the law, yet seem to be if they are of a particular party. The statute of limitations protecting Comey!
If you want a reference of how important this statute of limitations thing is. The dems violated that statute to claim Trump a felon for a misdemeanour prosecuted beyond the statute of limitations. Trump was doing it the legal way.
What illegal activity?
Halligan was illegally appointed to her position.
Halligan illegally used evidence from one case/warrant (and client/attorney privileged information) to try and prosecute another case.
This cabal of Trump administration criminals needs to be brought to book.
"The group went on to highlight Bondi's social media post about Meta's takedown, which it claims suggests the government pressured the tech giant to take action."
As long as the government just threatened the app providers and maybe embedded state operatives to interfere within the group the precedent set by the last administration and the social media companies should make it alright shouldnt it?
The Department of Justice should wait until an ICE-tracking app is used in an attack on a removal officer before prosecuting the provider of that app.
“A person who aids and abets, or encourages another to commit a crime but who is not present at the scene. An accessory before the fact, like an accomplice, may be held criminally liable to the same extent as the principal.” ref
Obama is worried that it will come back to bite him when you consider how many he deported.
No point citing sources as it is common knowledge, and easilly consutable, that Obama achieved the Gold Medal.
Every thumbs down is an indicator of the ostrich method which has become so prevalent that it is now funny.
Obama achieved those record deportation rates within the law. He didn't have ICE agents breaking down doors at apartment buildings and rounding up every then checking later to see if anyone was illegal. He didn't have them invading cities like an occupying army. He didn't send them to third world hellholes unrelated to where they were actually from.
Trump isn't doing it this was because it is necessary, he's doing it to deliberately cause as much fear and terror as possible. He's the biggest terrorist in the US now, either him or his Himmler, Steven Miller.
When you post something as unhinged as that, it doesn't provoke anger.
Any sane person will just be puzzled, and/or sympathetic to your obvious mental problems, or simply just laugh at you.
Of course, you could be trolling, which would be even sadder, especially as the fact someone responded has probably aroused you.
Still, keeps you off the streets, I guess.
