Former Republicans and DOJ vets respond to Repug attacks

The bottom line of the following comments is that the current Repugnantcon Party has completely abandoned any semblance of law and order to support a fascist state. Many former members of their own Party think so. Just like many members of Trumpler's own administration and Party testified against him in the Jan. 6 hearings and most likely in the various federal grand juries. It's hard to claim it's a witch hunt when it's your own flying monkeys providing the evidence.

Joe Walsh: "House Republicans reflect the base of the party, and the base is fully radicalized and fully with Trump. To defend Trump means you have to attack our democratic institutions like our elections, our justice system and the rule of law. [...] Trump is going to ratchet up his victimization language and his ‘they’re really coming after you’ bullshit because these indictments are going to force him to. It’s his only argument and he knows it will inflame his base. Trump welcomed violence on January 6, he’ll welcome violence during the 2023-24 election cycle."

Dave Trott: "Jordan is not only accepting Trump’s falsehoods but actively promoting them. It’s an alternative reality. Members are doing it for re-election purposes, fundraising and power. [...] What the Trump crazies have promoted is undermining our democracy and confidence in our judicial system and justice department. Now they want to defund justice and the FBI because they know it will further energize the far-right base."

Donald Ayer: "Comments by Republican politicians about weaponization of the justice department are completely disconnected from reality. Overwhelming evidence indicates that Trump has committed multiple serious crimes against the country and is very likely to be held accountable. A political strategy based on opposing that reality is the height of foolishness."

Former GA US Attorney Michael Moore: "The Republicans’ continued claims of misconduct by law enforcement officials are not only demoralizing to the good men and women who have given their careers to the pursuit of justice, but are particularly destructive to the institutions that support our democracy and the rule of law. The problem with these unfounded claims of impropriety is that there is no accountability for making them."
