News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You think that Trump's new pick for the attorney general is going to prosecute the old attorney general?
Trump might not have much loyalty, but he's not going to go after his own people like that. He knows if he does that, there's a risk they'll fully turn on him and spill all the secrets they know. If he just removes them from the spotlight and gives them a cushy job with no public exposure and no responsibility they'll probably keep their mouths shut either out of loyalty or fear of what he might do to them otherwise.
Also, if there were a trial of Bondi, it wouldn't be some satisfying thing where she actually takes responsibility for all the shit she did on behalf of Trump. There wouldn't be any juicy revelations or exposure of her wrongdoing (or her coverups of his wrongdoing). Instead it would just be a show trial where the facts were whatever his team decided to make up.
Just look at what happens in other dictatorships when someone loses favour with the dictator. The result isn't a fair trial where there's an impartial hearing of the facts where the defence gets to use the discovery process to unearth and expose the previously secret communications. No, what happens is that the prosecutor rails against the defendant for all their failings, the defendant's attorney offers only token resistance, and the judges go with the only outcome the dictator will accept. Normally it can be done in an afternoon.
I dunno, she is a liability now to the Epstein Class
Which is why they’ll ‘accident’ her before prosecuting her no doubt. She can’t be feeling very secure right now.
