Although law and order is might making right.

Typically, but not always, and not absolutely. Sometimes justice can be blind to power and station, uphold the right of the weak against the mighty, and fulfill the ideal of 'equality before the law.' It's not the way to bet, but it has happened.

Sounds like something Saul Goodman would say.

The judiciary, our third branch of government, is might making right personified (trial by jury). The accused are acquitted/committed without decent.

But you know, there are degrees to the thing. Trial by jury is less 'might makes right' than cops just shooting anyone they want to.

BTW, I like Saul Goodman a lot, so thank-you.

Saul Goodman and Donald Trump are birds of a feather.

National Archives asks Justice Dept. to investigate Trump’s handling of White House records
The request came amid revelations that officials recovered 15 boxes of materials from the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence that weren’t handed back to the government as they should have been

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...ce-department/

I get so sick and tired of these stories. When will they treat this treasonous bastard like the common criminal that he is, and put him behind bars?

Donald said Hillary's missing emails were the "worst thing since Watergate".

Documents weren’t the only things Trump tore up while in office

I can understand why Donny didn't want to give up those sweet sweet love letters from his Bestie Kim Jong-un.

Grifting grifting grifting, gotta keep on grifting Rawhide!

A Melania Trump event is being investigated after promising proceeds to a charity that doesn't appear to exist, report says

Quote:
According to The New York Times, no charity with the name "Fostering the Future" or "Be Best" is registered in Florida.
Is anyone attached to Donny not a grifter?

Melania Trump
Quote:
Dishonest reporting at it again. Everything has been done lawfully, & all documents are in the works. Read with caution-typical corrupt media.

We are working w/Bradley Impact Fund, a Donor-Advised Fund, to select charities that will receive the donations to foster children.
Translation: Oops, now we'll actually have to find a charity and decide how much they'll get. How much to be determined later. With the tRumps' record of donating to charities the charities would be better off having bake sales.
