Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page knows a thing or two about being targeted by President Donald Trump.

On Wednesday morning, Page tweeted a message of solidarity with the four prosecutors who withdrew from Roger Stone’s criminal case after the Justice Department walked back their recommended prison sentence of seven to nine years: Aaron Zelinsky, Adam Jed, Jonathan Kravis and Michael Marando. Kravis resigned from his role as Assistant U.S. attorney altogether.

“To Aaron and Adam, Jonathan and Michael: I am sorry for the agony you are about to endure, and for the pain & betrayal you will feel at the hands of your beloved Dept,” she wrote. “Know that you are on the right side of history & that we are so very proud of you for defending the rule of law.”

Trump has already begun attacking the prosecutors ever since the DOJ made the shocking reversal on Tuesday.

Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi need to begin the Second Round of Impeachment Proceedings starting with drumpf, Barr and adding more Republican names and more Articles of Impeachment as we go along. The dictator and his henchman will continue to commit more and more atrocities if something is not done! Let the Impeachment continue for as long as it takes. Get the subpoenas moving now!

And the creature has already committed several acts for his 2nd round of impeachment. And we all know there is more to come.

This is heart-breaking, but a presidential pardon for Roger Stone would be even more defeating. I just want to see this guy go to jail, even if it's not for the full sentence.

government. I am appalled more every day by what this administration does and shake my head and say where did our country make such a wrong turn to be on this course with so many willing riders.

I actually remember telling a college classmate that I was pi$$ed that
New Mexico voted for Reagan AND that in 30 years we won't have a middle class.
That was in 1980.
