Carr might also tell Trump that using the broadcast airways to perpetrate fraud upon the American people is a crime. Daily, Trump intentionally lies materially to us in comments to broadcast news reporters. That's FRAUD. It's not protected "political" speech like campaign promises.

I don't know whether these subpoenas are for the information about accounts where people criticize ICE--a clear 1st Amendment violation--or for the intimidation effect from just knowing the subpoenas exist. Either way, LET'S ALL CRITICIZE ICE AND MAKE THIS AN "I AM SPARTACUS" MOMENT.

ICE agents in Florida told an ex-cop (lib but they didn't know) that "white liberal traitors" who defend people's rights are "worse than immigrants." THAT'S THEIR "TRAINING."

One minute Trump says "Investigate Dems in the files," the next he says "Release the files." Why does he suddenly not care? DOJ will use the ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS excuse to avoid releasing the files revealing who engaged in the MONEY LAUNDERING and FRAUD CONSPIRACIES.
