I often think about the fact that the person Trump has chosen to burn the most rule-of-law on personally destroying is one of the people most responsible for putting him in the White House.

It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to.

Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.
