The White House and Department of Justice have reportedly been discussing potentially throwing journalists in jail to reveal the identities of leakers and fresh White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is behind the plan.
In an Atlantic report about the exit of Susie Wiles from her chief of staff role at the White House, it was revealed that a plan to jail journalists is in consideration in the administration. Wiles reportedly pushed back on such a plan while Miller gave it his endorsement.
According to the report, which cites multiple people familiar with the situation, Donald Trump has been pressing the DOJ to pursue criminal cases against people who leak information to the media on “national security grounds.” Various “tactics” have been discussed, including arresting journalists to push them into revealing their sources.
Lol…
The day they arrest the first journo trump will be impeached and convicted.
All those fucking sources are Republicans. And Dems only need like 5 Republican Senators to convict in the Senate. They’ll get rid of trump to save themselves from trump in a heartbeat
Maybe he’s doing it just to get JD on the big boy chair? That way he can try to start pivoting the party back to the middle before 2028.
Stephen Miller, the literal nazi, make a play to pivot to the center?
PeeWee Himmler
This is incorrect. They need 5 Republicans to cross the aisle to overcome a veto, but for an impeachment the constitution states that the Senate requires a two thirds majority to convict. That would be 67 votes. If the Democrats end up with 55 seats, then that means at least 12 Republicans would have to vote to convict. That is a big ask from the party of big corruption.
OTOH 14A3 disqualification enforcement “just” requires an act of congress (thanks SCOTUS, you really thought you were smart there did you?)
Vance’s positions are even more extremist than Trump
You mean Theil’s positions?
Exactly
Ok but he has the charisma of a soggy gym sock. I don’t personally understand Trump’s charisma but I can’t deny it exists.
I do t think the Make America a Soggy Gym Sock thing is going to get very far.
Good news: he can be impeached, too.
Vance doesn’t have views. Peter Thiel holds his leash, and he believes what Thiel believes.
There’s a video of Raskin and that eye-patch wearing traitor Crenshaw arguing, and when Raskin mentioned impeachment, Crenshaw rolled his eye, and scoffed that they’d need 60 votes, but then he got a sudden expression like he realized they only needed 5 votes to cross the aisle, and that shouldn’t be too hard, especially when many are going to try to demonstrate their distance from Trump. Getting reelected in 2028 is going to rely on proving that you weren’t fully behind Trump.
Imagine if the impeachment vote in the Senate was a tie, and JD Vance had to vote to break the tie?
