Merrick Garland is set to be confirmed as the 86th U.S. Attorney General next week. Buckle up - indictments are coming.
As John Adams famously wrote in the Massachusetts Constitution: We are “a government of laws, not of men.”
Teddy Roosevelt likewise wrote: "No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it."
Thus, it is time to live up to our nation's ideals. The President of the United States is not a monarch who can operate with impunity and immunity from our criminal laws.

Given that Joe Biden will receive his first intelligence briefing today, I highly recommend that he receives information on why Jared Kushner is flying to Saudi Arabia to meet with MBS.
Asking Saudi Arabia to illegally hack the Biden administration to aid Donald Trump's 2024 campaign would be a federal crime.
Leaking our state secrets to MBS likewise is a federal crime.
The Texas bus incident qualifies as domestic terrorism. In other words, the President of the United States retweeted and praised DOMESTIC TERRORISM. That is the conduct of a fascist.
Terrorism: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
If fascism prevails, your rights and liberties will vanish. Laws will become arbitrary and subject to the autocratic regime's desires. Your property can be stolen. While your life can be taken with impunity. We are on a very slippery and catastrophic slope.
This morning I cast my ballot in a key swing state for @JoeBiden. It felt wonderful to officially repudiate the Trump administration’s corruption, lawlessness, incompetence, racism, misogyny, and hate.
And dishonesty. How could I have left that off the list? My apologies, I was momentarily disabled by pure joy.
At my polling location, there were over 200 people in line before 7:00 AM. Everyone was wearing a mask and social distancing. The excitement was incredibly palpable. I overheard the couple ahead of me say that Joe Biden handily won the debate.
It is official: my parents, registered republicans who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, cast their ballots for @JoeBiden! To say that I am full of joy would be an understatement.
Asked what kind of government was created after the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Ben Franklin famously exclaimed: “A republic, if you can keep it.” For the second time in our nation’s history, there is a real chance that we may lose it.
Indeed, the upcoming election will be the most consequential one in our lifetime. The republic – an experiment in self-government that our founders initiated 233 years ago – is at stake. So too is the very soul of our nation.
