59. "The approach?"

Jun 2022

I have a sincere question that I don't understand with respect to James Clyburn's reasoning here.

Since I have very great respect for the man I hope to gain further insight into his thinking.

If that's unreasonable, shoot me.

Clyburn's reasoning is that the DOJ has too many right wingers in it SoonerPride Jun 2022 #18
And does that hold up against the reports that most of the Trump era attorneys at DOJ are gone Just A Box Of Rain Jun 2022 #19

Clyburn presented no evidence in that statement. fightforfreedom Jun 2022 #31
Even if Rep. Cluburn presented evidence you would dismiss it anyway. SoonerPride Jun 2022 #37
Brilliant post. fightforfreedom Jun 2022 #42
