Illegal? Can you honestly believe that administration even knows what is legal or illegal? Or that they care? And besides, even if it were illegal, who would prosecute them? The Justice Department?
This is the same Justice Department not prosecuting the Epstein League of Misanthropes. It used to be that judges would assume "regularity" from the JD. That term in this context means the judges would assume the JD was acting in good faith and could be relied upon not to lie. Regularity is no longer assumed by judges for the JD. This upends decades of trust between the judicial system and the JD. And el Bunko managed this in just a year and a half.
The reasons are the examples of JD prosecutors empaneling grand juries and telling the jurors they need not require evidence per se, they could just rely on the prosecutors' say-so that the prosecutors would not bring charges without good reason. Some judges found out and went ballistic. Ballistic is too nice a word, they are absolutely livid. Now if you are grand juried, a smart attorney will ask for the grand jury record; everything said is recorded. And even then they cannot be sure that everything has been recorded as there are instances of prosecutors successfully stopping recording or talking to grand jurors outside of the jury room.
And if you want a glaring example of just how corrupt the JD is, as if protecting pedophiles named in the Epstein files because they were "friends of" la Presidenta (la Presidenta even told Marjorie Taylor Green this), then look no further than the case of this alleged administration filing a case against the IRS because some contractor back in the first el Biunko administration, leaked that dolt's tax records. el Bunko sued for $10 Billion, that's $!0 Billion of your money. When the stink hit the fan, they withdrew the case and alleged a "settlement" with the JD for $1.5 Billion, of which they wanted to pay off the insurrectionists from Jan. 6.
The judge at first let them get away with that but about 75 former judges explained to her that she was being played, that el Bunko was only using case as cover to siphon off money for his interests. She still had jurisdiction over the case. Now el Bunko's lawyer in Florida has been reported to the Florida bar for his attempting to use the justice system in this way...she's royally pissed, this has never been attempted before that anyone can recall. And Todd Blanche has been referred to the bars or NY and Wash., D.C. for disciplinary action. This is the same Blanche who is now bucking to become the head of the JD and is singularly responsible for playing along with that shakedown for your money, AND protecting the Epstein Pedos by not prosecuting the people named in the Epstein files.
