Judge Sullivan is the one who has to dismiss the case, and he just might not!

Even though the DOJ is not going to prosecute him any longer, the case is still in Sullivan's court and he may not be too happy about this. Let's wait and see what happens.

The irony is that there are all those "freedumb fighters" out there who are either oblivious to that fact or clandestinely hoping to live in a totalitarian dystopia, or, in their cases both.

If they had a lick of sense and were actual patriots, then they would be looking the actual perpetrators in the face and protesting that rather than being sicked on us like dopey hunting dogs. They would see what a threat Trump and the GOP really are to their way of life.

They remind me of adolescent rebels, (maybe arrested development is a problem in America) without a real cause and, in no way resemble any patriots and freedom fighters of the past because they identify with those who would gladly take it away from them.

That's a sign of some crazy times and confused minds.

Just as Loretta Lynch was the one who made decisions about supporting trans individuals.

Elections have consequences, and this is one of them. POTUS gets to choose their cabinet, which includes the AG, and if the Senate has no issues with the AG, there isn't any way to counter their decisions or censure them.

Anyone who said that HRC would be "as bad as Trump" needs to be doing some deep soul searching right now.
