Protecting Law Enforcement Personnel. One of the Department of Justice’s top priorities is protecting law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels who protect us all. This includes aggressively investigating the all-too-common instances of violence against and obstruction of law enforcement, seeking the death penalty for those who perpetrate capital crimes against law enforcement, and backing and promoting the efforts of law enforcement when they are subjected to unfair criticism or attack.

    Trump is attacking prosecutors and FBI agents.

    Is the DOJ going after him?

    No, he just made it legal (or unpunishable) to bribe elected officials and corporations, particularly by other countries:

    Shifting Resources in the National Security Division. To free resources to address more pressing priorities, and end risks of further weaponization and abuses of prosecutorial discretion, the Foreign Influence Task Force shall be disbanded. Recourse to criminal charges under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and 18 U.S.C. § 951 shall be limited to instances of alleged conduct similar to more traditional espionage by foreign government actors. With respect to FARA and § 951, the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, including the FARA Unit, shall focus on civil enforcement, regulatory initiatives, and public guidance.

    The National Security Division’s Corporate Enforcement Unit is also disbanded. Personnel

    assigned to the Unit shall return to their previous posts.

    Transitional Organized Crime, Cartels, and Gangs.

    Page 4. Either somebody lets the spell-check do auto-replace, or they are going hard on those dangerous hormone therapy peddlers.

    Aww, who am I kidding? It’s both!

    obstruction of law enforcement, seeking the death penalty for those who perpetrate capital crimes against law enforcement

    Wouldn’t it be funny to see Elon and Snowden sitting together in Russia?

    For very different reasons… One is a patriot, one is escaping consequences.
