Pence pledges changes to Justice Department if elected

[Beastly Boy]

Saying many Americans have “lost confidence” in the Justice Department, former Vice President Mike Pence promised to “clean house at the highest levels of the Justice Department” if elected president.

---snip

“Lady Justice is blind, Chuck,” Pence told Todd. “And there are tens of millions of Americans who have reason to believe that the blinders have been taken off and that we haven't seen equal treatment under the law.”

Pence maintained that the allegations in the indictment against Trump are “serious,” and “no one is above the law,” but said that the charging decision “just continues to feed the notion among the American people that there's two standards for justice in this country.”

So bashing DOJ over the allegations of two standards of justice is a right wing talking point...

1. Fuck that Never To Be President.

The man tried to have you lynched. Grow a pair.

2. It's bigger than that.

Trashing the DOJ, the IRS, the FBI means open season for the GOP crime syndicate. They are just using Trump to make it happen so the next bunch can do worse.

3. Pence

Has about as much chance of winning the election as I would bungee jumping off the Empire State building.

4. So Pence is upset that the DoJ recognized Pence didn't break the law like Trump did?

Trump would not be indicted if he had just turned over the documents when the archives asked him to.

6. We don't have to worry about Pence becoming president, but

we do have to worry a lot about what the GOP's orcs think "justice" should be.

7. Then those American people are idiots, and need to be told so.

9. He is projecting,

Bill Barr and Trump weaponized the justice system to go after Democrats.

The John Durham investigation was a perfect example of a witch hunt, a fake investigation to make Democrats look bad.

Durham lost 2 court cases which is almost unheard of for a DOJ special counsel.

What about Italian gate? We can't trust Durham and Barr to have properly investigated that.

10. Hunter's laptop, Hillary's emails, Joe's documents...

His comments were straight out of the gaslighting script. When Chuck “Short Timer” Todd called him out on his BS, he never flinched or wavered from the conspiracy theories.

He’s one slimy, mealy mouthed POS.

[Omnipresent]

11. I'm not sure if I would want to take a tour inside mike pence's head.

I think it would be a scary, bizarre nightmare of a place to visit.

12. The fly laid eggs in Pence's head

and they have since hatched

[ecstatic]

13. Yes, the DOJ is unfair but not to rich white republican men like trump.

trump had a million chances and a million opportunities to do the right thing. Other people would not have been given so many chances.

But I'm sure that's not what PPence is referring to. PPence wants to make it so that rich white republican men are never held accountable--even ones who endangered his family and tried to have him killed. PPence doesn't give a shit about any of the other valid and well documented disparities in our justice system.

14. Hmm... he wants to "clean house", is that the same as "draining the swamp"?

I think we have seen this movie before.

[PCIntern]

15. If????

If my grandmother had had wheels, she’d have been a locomotive.

16. Pence makes it clear the charges are serious

But not so serious they should have been pressed, maybe. That people think the Justice Department hasn't been balanced in this matter is serious, although only his party is telling people it might not have been. He can't point to a bias, just the feeling of bias. And to make it clear, charging Biden, him, and Hillary isn't what he had in mind. Certainly Ivanka using a private email account wasn't even mentioned by him. Indeed, in the end, he doesn't manage to convey a coherent thought on the whole matter. If he keeps thus up, he might finish fourth in the primary. Might.

17. New ruling: Anyone with a net worth of above *** dollars is immune from prosecution.

Laws are to keep the little people in line.

[IbogaProject]

18. He wants juctices visited on some

He wants to go back to Con-Intel-Pro and primarily busting immigrants, minorities, and disrupting labor organizers and left wing activists.

[LiberalFighter]

19. Will he appoint ministers that will only offer prayers and thoughts?

[republianmushroom]

20. No need to if today reporting is correct.
