      Sure but this is his only move here given what the shit ass Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity.

      Hopefully this orange asshole survives the four years and someone with a moral compass picks the car back up after/if he leaves but there’s not a damn thing he can do now with Trump back in office and he’s just got to wait until he gets indicted himself in political retribution from this orange fascist.

    Legal justice has become a pipedream. The only options with any real chance of happening are vigilante justice or no justice.

    Good… because this might finally lead US citizens actually consider a civil law system rather than a common law system…

    Aw, who am I kidding? Yanks don’t even use the metric system yet. Smh.

    EDIT: /s for morons who don’t get irony.

      He’s dropping them now because its the only move that might revive them when Trump is out. If his old ass lives that long.

      He is making a pragmatic decision that any reasonable lawyer would make.

      DOJ policy is to drop a case like this. If he ignored policy then he would be fired by February before the case would even proceed. So no matter what he does, the case is dead and at least he got to write some words down. Basically the same as the three resonable justices on SCOTUS who have no power to do anything beyond write dissenting opinions that might matter sometime in the future.

      It sucks, but Republicans have completed their coup from within the US government.
