This is a normal Democrat, by the way. The opinion she’s espousing here, that young lawyers should reconsider working for Republicans because they’ll be prosecuted on political grounds when her side takes power, is totally normal now. This is what they believe. They are totalitarians. The Democratic Party is the party of dictatorship and persecution.

I think she’s just warning off them helping with corrupt activities? Not Republicans in general

Damn right there are going to be consequences. Did you think you could enable a corrupt grifter like Trump and not be held accountable for it?

The problem isn't the most corrupt administration in American history, beating such ignoble administration as the Harding and Grant administration, but the Democrats who are saying they are going to go after the corruption.

Susan Rice (Obama's mouthpiece) has also come out, warning Republicans of consequences if Dems get back in. It is outrageous that since Obama was President, the entire party now behaves like the mob.

She’s a CIA color agent. This is *exactly* how they operate, and it was Obama’s weapon of choice ahead of Maidan.

I do not use the C*** word lightly but the shoe fits. How dare this woman demonize and threaten people merely for policy differences? Did someone forget to give her a participation trophy when she was a kid?

But your fine with Trump bullying and threatening law firms, corporations, universities, television networks, threatening their business and mergers and funding to alter their speech and speech policies. Fucking hypocrites. This is nothing compared to Trump and GOP infringements

Quick question Payton: Do you think Ilhan Omar’s prosecution by the govt. is problematic? And of course we should prosecute the corruption that’s being overtly conducted in the WH? Do you want to live in a country where overt corruption goes unnoticed by the justice system?

Her rhetoric makes me laugh! While these individuals want to tear down our United States we as American citizens must remind our future generations what it took to save our country all the way back to our founding fathers. Keep telling Their stories. 🇺🇸

The Trump administration is lawless. Joining such an administration can have a negative effect on your career when it comes time to answer for that lawlessness. Act accordingly.

It is because the Bar Associations are complicit as well. They were more than too happy to disbar Republican attorneys at the behest of the Democrat party attorneys. The Bar Associations of this nation are a disgrace.

But career politicians like @ChuckGrassley still act like it’s 1978 by confirming overreaching judges to get along with the Dems and fighting tooth and nail to keep the sacred blue slips (but curiously never using them himself) and the filibuster, while Dems plan to do this, open the borders, pack the Supreme Court and abolish the electoral college. WTF?!
