a messaging triumph for the Trump administration.
If the message is “see, he’s accused of multiple crimes” then I hope the American people will be smart enough to recognize that the appropriate response is trial in a court of law, not kidnapping and human trafficking to overseas concentration camps. And if you think this guy has no right to a trial because he seems the guilty sort, someone could say the same about you tomorrow and you’d get no trial to dispute their accusations.
It’s disappointing to see the media characterizing this as a victory for Trump’s people. Whether he’s guilty or not their actions were indefensible.
School shooters and mass casualty bombers get trials. Young immigrant going 5mph over the speed limit? Straight to the camps.
Trump is convinced of 34 felonies, when is he getting deported? Our president is a bigger criminal.
Also, it should be really obvious that this is all manufactured bullshit after the fact. Like, if nothing else they have to explain when they discovered this stuff that they’re claiming and why they never brought it up during one of his immigration hearings before they abducted him away to El Salvador, but way too many media organizations just take what the government says at face value no matter who the president is.
A former senior law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation, said he was struck by the large amount of resources the DOJ put into investigating Abrego Garcia.
“They came hard at a relatively low level guy, which does not necessarily make it improper — just odd. Perhaps they wanted the last word, which seems childish,” said the former official. “Typically, you work up the chain; not down it. That said, at least he gets his due process rights this time around.”
Seems to me that the DOJ is obeying Trump, and he only wants to be ‘proven’ right … even when he’s lying through his teeth.
And the allegations against Abrego Garcia are damning.
The ALLEGATIONS are damning.
Jesus fuck NBC what the actual fuck did you shove up your ass to concoct that brilliant bon mot? Now I gotta go look up the so-called journalist.
So on his “other stories” page we see he’s the guy who wrote the “Epstein’s suicide is on video” story (it is not on video) and a bunch of others that make me think he’s a poorly disguised hatchet man for the trump junta.
Is this the journalist that tortures puppies, allegedly?
Damming allegations against NBC journalist revealed on lemmy! /j
It’s projection. ICE extrajudicially kidnapped and traifficked Kilmar under the orders of Pam and the rapist. Justice would be arresting and indicting Pam and the rapist and de-ICEing
