Trump's pick to help run the FBI has a history of prosecuting influential democrats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In late July, Missouri state troopers walked into St. Louis County government headquarters and seized the cellphone of one of the most prominent Democratic officials in this solidly red state.

Two days later, a grand jury indicted Sam Page, the St. Louis County executive. Acting as a special prosecutor, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican, secured two felony counts of stealing by deceit and two election-law violations.

For Bailey, bringing felony charges against the leader of the state’s biggest blue stronghold added to the resume of a MAGA warrior who had already interviewed for a key position in President Donald Trump’s administration.

Less than three weeks later, Trump tapped Bailey to help run the FBI. He’ll serve as co-deputy director with Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and conservative podcast host. Bailey said he’ll resign as Missouri’s attorney general on Sept. 8 to take the post. A spokesperson said he was not taking questions from the media.

1. Bailey is nuts

Bailey is MAGA through and Through. He has done what his predecessors (Hawley and Schmitt) in the MO AG office have done to be rewarded by the MAGA crowd and Trump. Spends MO Tax dollars suing the crap out of Democrats and comes to the aid of Republicans who are facing litigation. Case in point how he went after the Democrat St Louis County Executive for a campaign flyer when republicans send false election information out every year. Then he helps the GOP state legislature who spread false information about the KC Bomber. Misidentified the person who then received death threats. Guy sued the state rep but Bailey came to his defense.

Yeah Bailey is a POS. He will fit right in with this DOJ and FBI leadership.
