A federal judge dismissed criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that the interim U.S. attorney who brought the indictments was invalidly appointed in violation of the Constitution. This ruling exposes a deeply troubling pattern of weaponizing the justice system against political opponents, striking at the very heart of institutional integrity and the rule of law, and revealing a chilling contempt for our constitutional order.

This systematic erosion of due process and the monetization of human detention represent a grave assault on American values of liberty and justice, turning local jails into profit-driven instruments of a draconian immigration crackdown that tears families apart and undermines constitutional protections.

The Dangerous Weaponization of Federal Power Against Constitutional Defenders

The FBI is seeking interviews with Senator Mark Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers for a video encouraging military members to refuse illegal orders, which President Trump called seditious behavior.
