This goes beyond a sickening abuse of American taxpayers.
He is using the United States Department of Justice to defend him in this way.
It is a delaying gambit, that ultimately cannot – or should not – work to defend him, but will work to cause delay. But we are well past “should.”
The federal court might, or might not, punish him for this perversion and abuse of our justice system. But perhaps the court will be one of trump’s courts. Or perhaps the court will order him to personally cover all of his victim’s legal costs – which he then may not pay, as another fight. Perhaps the current United States Attorney General will lose his law license, disbarred but refusing to step down as the Attorney General.
But again, this goes beyond trump’s and Barr’s heinous abuse of the law, and of our civilizing legal systems.
He is using the United States Department of Justice to defend him in this way, and he has constructed a United States Department of Justice that will do it.
Do not stop thinking about this.
It is a world altering crisis. It is a new and immediate threat to the world. We must stop it.
He is not just defending rape. He is legitimizing rape while holding our judicial system in contempt. Other countries are guided by our judicial system. He is legitimizing contempt.
He is weaponizing our judicial system to his own ends. He personally turns justice upside down, wrecking the very concept of it even as he campaigns on “law and order”.
The outcome of this legal foray isn’t the greatest peril. Now is the peril. He and his people are the peril.

Since learning about some of the details behind Breonna Taylor’s late-night murder by pigs, it’s important to remember that “plain-clothes officer” is an American euphemism for secret police.
