Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York.

A post hosted on the social media network owned by the world's richest man, who, as an aside,

is on a crusade to slash and burn the government down on behalf of Donald

Trump, that post basically sums up where we are right now, the complete transformation of

the United States Justice Department better than anything or anyone else.

It's a post from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., currently held by election denier and Trump super ally, Ed Martin.

And it's about the Associated Press's lawsuit seeking press access to the White House.

It says this, quote, as President Trump's lawyers, we are proud to fight to protect his leadership as our president, and we are vigilant

and standing against entities like the Associated Press that refused to put America first,

end quote. Now, grammatical errors aside, the whole thing is truly amazing from start to finish,

but it's the first few words that have caught

everyone's attention. Because prosecutors paid by the taxpayers who work at the U.S. Attorney's

Office in Washington, D.C., are not Donald Trump's lawyers. U.S. attorneys work for us. They take

an oath to the Constitution, not to Donald Trump or any specific president.

Senator Chris Murphy said this, quote, this is insane.

If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it is this.

It's that attitude that anyone in the Justice Department is a personal attorney for Donald Trump,

they're only to push his agenda and not the interests of the country or justice.

That attitude now defines the top of the institutions currently responsible for upholding

the rule of law in the world's oldest democracy, full stop.

New York Times has brand new reporting on the number two person now running the FBI.

He's a podcaster and media personality named Dan Bongino from that reporting, quote,
