All I know is its a timebomb and us vaccinated sheeple are doomed
Wicked, if it's me or the nazi's that have to go, I'm fine with it, just not having to deal with them anymore is enrichment enough. And I thought I'd been scranning bananas a bit more than usual lately - chock full of energy when they come a-knocking...
 
Hmmm, I thought it was a generally accepted principle that in a democracy you don't arrange to have your main political opponent prosecuted so you can rule unopposed? This is the kind of stuff that happens in Russia, Iraq, Iran etc. There's a reason it's never been done before, but in the US today there are two standards of justice and it's a political standard. Most people will be horrified by what has happened, whether they like Trump or not...
Could you explain what these two standards of justice are? What exactly is a “standard of justice”?. How do the two standards differ from one another?
Does the Department of Justice monitor and/or administer both standards?
Oh, and since it appears to have slipped your mind, could I once more refer you post #43585 where I asked you to explain for me the precise legal processes in place for former Presidents to declassify documents and the actual powers that they have to do so. You have posted extensively around (if not actually on) the subject, so I’m sure that you must know.
 
It seems that Mr. Yoo is confused as to who broke what "institutional norm".....
And the man isn't exactly a stickler for "norms".
A set of legal memoranda known as the "Torture Memos" (officially the Memorandum Regarding Military Interrogation of Alien Unlawful Combatants Held Outside The United States) were drafted by John Yoo as Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the United States and signed in August 2002 by Assistant Attorney General Jay S. Bybee, head of the Office of Legal Counsel of the United States Department of Justice. They advised the Central Intelligence Agency, the United States Department of Defense, and the President on the use of enhanced interrogation techniques—mental and physical torment and coercion such as prolonged sleep deprivation, binding in stress positions, and waterboarding—and stated that such acts, widely regarded as torture, might be legally permissible under an expansive interpretation of presidential authority during the "War on Terror".
