Can someone help me understand why DU'ers are holding up the SDNY as future heroes re: tRump crimes?

As far as I know, SDNY is now under the direction of Bafflin' Billy Barr, which means it is actually under the direction of tRump himself.

With tRump now declared bulletproof by Bafflin' Billy, what's to stop DJT from firing whoever he wants to in the SDNY, and quashing any inconvenient inquiries into his criminal activity?

He fired Preet Bharara right off the bat, and what punishment has he suffered? He knows now that he can fire anyone he wants without impunity.

Yes, dedicated attorneys in the SDNY may step up to the plate every time there's a firing, to continue the good work, but every time it happens there will have to be quite a time lag before all new staffs are in place, informed, and readily familiar with the cases. This could drag on well into tRump's second term God forbid.

I know that the State of New York and the Manhattan District Attorney may well take up cases, but I would posit that that they could not possibly budget enough monies and hire enough staff to fight against the Department of Justice and the United States government, who can simply stonewall forever with a MASSIVE army of lawyers on their payroll.

So if anyone can teach me the powers SDNY would have to combat all of this, I would deeply appreciate it.

The Pledge Of Allegiance FIXED

I pledge allegiance to the Rules
Of the US Department of Justice,
And to Neal Katyal
Who wrote the fucking things.
One Nation, under pressure,
Dividing in front of our eyes,
With liberty and justice for the 1%.

Attorney General Barr says "NO HOLDS BARRED" and releases EVERYTHING that he thinks the dumbed down American electorate can handle without blowing a fuse! WHAT AN HONORABLE GUY!!!!

When tRump sends out his cops, his soldiers, and his bikers, we'll ALL be brave but REMEMBER THIS:

Democratic Underground will be one of the very first websites to be shut down. Just like Election Night 2016.
Remember how helpless that felt? It will be worse next time. None of us will be able to share vital information, share updates on where violence is happening, and where it is expected next. No way to know if there have been breakthroughs or victories for Progressives. Nowhere to offer each other support when we will need it the most.
THAT is going to be scary.
We are going to face armed thugs all alone, not knowing if it's just our town, or it's happening everywhere...and do you think the mainstream media will be allowed to broadcast the truth???

I wish there was some way to prepare a tRump Coup Survival Kit, like we do for earthquakes here in California.
I have no idea how to actually be prepared for it.

I've designed the AL FRANKEN COMMEMORATIVE POSTAGE STAMP. Waiting to hear back from USPS.



They'll actually be sold to forward thinking progressive folks at about a 99.9% discount.
The price on the stamp is just in case a US Senator from NY happens to come into the Post Office.
