    That Canon lady whom I’m not about to call a judge, and Harlan Crow’s man friend said it’s because Special Counsel Jack Smith was never confirmed as an attorney, where as all other historical Special Counsels were.

    So they see him as an unconstitutional representative of the “Administrative State”… Because the rightwing in America are hard line constitutionalists (who still bend shit), they want to destroy the “administrative state” eg. Public Servants, eg. All the stuff that makes up a modern functioning nation.

    It goes along with their “defund the government” and “defund the tax system” goals, and their goal to defund all revenue streams of the commons (via privatisation), and “getting rid of red tape” (eg. Public protections).

    In the minds of conservatives there should be a basic criminal justice system, and nothing else. That’s what they see as government.

    Of course when they get into power it’s all embezzlement and golden handshakes with corporate friends… So there’s the facade they believe in and then what actually happens when they get into office, as there always is in politics.

    …now with Project 2025, this pattern may never end.
