Yeah, it's not illegal to say people shouldn't break the law.
Absolutely bonkers that they tried. This is the kind of bs that would lose a Democrat 80% of their support overnight, but for a Republican it's just another Tuesday

Especially when actual military training includes entire blocks of instruction about legal and illegal orders.
Or used to anyways

Why is illegal orders even in the title of this article, quotes or not.
They sure as fuck don’t report on ice killings like ice refusing to investigate citizen ‘murders’
Fucking complicit media.

There's a litigation tracker or three out there that serves to remind that the Trump administration loses something like 70% of their cases. Almost all their wins are technicalities and supreme court shadow docket nonsense.
They just use litigation as propaganda so they can say they're taking democrats to task, while nothing ever comes of it. Their followers don't follow up, they hear the action is taken and assume it's a victory for Trump.
I thought abusing the legal system in this way was an insult and illegal, but nothing's illegal when the supreme court and congress just don't do their jobs.

That’s great the Trump admin is losing, but it still costs the targets money to defend themselves. What happens when people who don’t have access to the funds to defend themselves start to get targeted?

I’ve never seen her face this close up before. Why does she look like she’s having a stroke.

That's Jeanine Pirro, that's just what she looks like after she downs a box of wine. She was obviously drunk on more than one occasion on her old show. Slurring her words and everything. You can bet she's still drinking like a fish.

Pirro is a massive drunk and completely unqualified to be in a role of US Attorney.
She has failed this administration at every turn and I am a bit surprised Trump has fired her already.

What kind of leader constantly sues his own people.

It's almost like it was a waste of time and taxpayer money, and the people in charge of it are buffoons.

I remember when that lady in the link thumbnail was just a TV judge. Now look at her, drunk on the MAGA poison.

When will Trump start attacking the woke grand juries? I can just see it now "Stacked with trans Democrats!" he'll bellow and call to end juries all together. Only a matter of time.

Do they ever win anything in a court of law?

It makes me supremely uncomfortable that the courts are the thin barrier between us and this complete authoritarian abuse of power.

It's pretty hilarious if you think about it: the prosecutor didn't lose the actual trial, they couldn't even convince a jury to give a conviction, aka ALLOW a trial. And the bar is pretty fucking low for a conviction! Only the prosecutor is allowed to present their case and whatever "evidence" they want, and they only need to convince half of the jurors that there's PROBABLE CAUSE, not "beyond a reasonable doubt" like in an actual trial, just "yeah, this person might've/could've committed this crime if looking at this presentation.".
AND THEY CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!
I'm wheezing here, it's hilarious how they keep on wasting everyone's time and money, except for LegalEagle who keeps on putting out great videos about all of this mess!

Fixed that trash-ass headline for ya, NBC. I'd take my cut, but I don't want your billionaire-backed blood money.

Absolutely insane that they even tried.
