      Maybe didn’t read the article and why they are investigating her. It’s cause she said local cops should arrest ICE officers who are breaking the law.

      “If you are telling people to arrest our ICE officers, our federal agents, you cannot do that, you are impeding an investigation, and we will charge them,” the Florida Republican told Fox News. Bondi added, “You’ve got Pelosi out there saying to obstruct their investigation. You can’t do it, and we’re going to investigate her now.”

      edit: Pelosi’s statement that triggered this

      While the President may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not. Our state and local authorities may arrest federal agents if they break California law — and if they are convicted, the President cannot pardon them.

        Don’t investigations typically involve warrants when you really need to get info from/about specific people or places? I haven’t heard of many, if any, warrants being used in these. Ok Bondi, show us the warrants for your “investigations”!

        That is funny. No the ICE is above the law. Trump can’t even attack his enemies right.

        Trump would fight a short person on his knees.

          I added Pelosi’s statement to the comment. They called that “interfering with an investigation”. lol.

      Bondi isn’t opening up an investigation against Pelosi for actual crimes, she’s investigating because she said ICE agents who break the law should be arrested. Pelosi dared to say something against the gestapo, that’s why Bondi is involved.

      He has already proved that as a president he is immune

      Also it wouldn’t surprise me if he eventually pardoned himself for all charges

      Fun fact: Congress critters are (were) exempt from all that SEC silliness the plebs are subject to.

      That’s not how it works under authoritarians. If you’re in the circle you’re fine doing whatever fucked up shit you can think of. If you’re not then you’re fucked for jay walking.
