Be it in the #UnitedStates, in #GreatBritain, #France or #Israel: #Trump really has serious issues with the concept of the separation of powers and an independent #judiciary.
He's now attacking #Israel's president as he wants his best pal and fellow conman #BenjaminNetanjahu to get a big beautiful #pardon.
Make grifting great again, anyone? He's such an obvious fraud. And he just can't get his little fingers off that touchscreen.

The characters are flawed and not so likeable and the US and systems that frame most of the book are filled with chilling predators preying on the vulnerable and marginalized.

Bush, wrote last week, ordering the release of a Venezuelan detainee in the state.

#Courts have ruled 4,400 times that #ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled >4,400 times since October that the #Trump admin is detaining #immigrants unlawfully, a review of court records found.

The decisions amount to a sweeping legal rebuke of Trump’s #immigration crackdown. Yet the admin has continued jailing people indefinitely even after courts ruled the policy illegal.

“Judges don’t pick U.S. Attorneys, POTUS does,” said DAG #ToddBlanche in a social media post Wednesday. “See Article II of our Constitution. You are fired, Donald Kinsella.”
[↑This is not accurate. There are circumstances in which judges choose, like for instance when an illegal appointment has been made, or an interim #USattorney exceeds their term.]

Reached by phone on Wednesday evening, Kinsella said that he did not yet know whether the White House email carried the force of #law. He said he would discuss the matter with the district #judges in the morning & go from there.

The #Trump admin had previously suggested it would fire any prosecutor chosen by district judges. It is unclear whether the Northern District judges will have any recourse.
