The Gist
The author argues that Trump should choose his next attorney general based solely on whether they'll aggressively prosecute Antifa members and people involved in the Russia investigation. He believes the current AG failed because she didn't jail enough of these people, and success should be measured by how many get imprisoned.
Conclusion
The only criterion that should determine Trump's choice for attorney general is their willingness to aggressively prosecute domestic terrorists like Antifa and participants in the Russia collusion hoax
Premises
- Outgoing AG Pam Bondi failed to adequately pursue justice against Antifa and Russia hoax participants, which is reportedly why Trump fired her
- Merrick Garland weaponized the DOJ against conservatives, so the next AG has an opportunity to restore legitimacy by pursuing actual wrongdoers
- Despite Trump designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, very few arrests and prosecutions have occurred despite numerous opportunities
- The DOJ has only convicted nine Antifa members while thousands have pledged violent overthrow of American institutions
- The Russia collusion hoax was a coup attempt that 'stole an entire presidency' from Trump and the American people who voted for him
- Success should be measured by how many leftist terrorists and coup plotters are imprisoned, ideally enough to require additional prison funding
Assumptions
- Antifa members are domestic terrorists who deserve prosecution
- The Russia investigation was a hoax and coup attempt rather than legitimate law enforcement
- Previous DOJ actions against conservatives were unjust weaponization while proposed actions against the left would be legitimate justice
- Mass incarceration of political opponents is an appropriate measure of DOJ success
- The attorney general should prioritize political prosecutions over traditional law enforcement duties
