Raskin on Bill to Weaken the Courts: The Trump Admin Is a Corrupt Enterprise, ‘It’s Like Watching the Sopranos’

RUSH EXCERPT:
RASKIN: "Well, look, on the house side, nothing has been more important to the Republicans on the house Judiciary Committee than this provision. They obviously got their marching orders from Donald Trump’s White House lawyers. They tried this as a bill. They’ve been pushing this for a long time for jodi ernst or anybody else, to feign ignorance about it is absurd unless they’re just not paying attention to what’s going on. It’s very clear that from Donald Trump on down, they are attacking the judges. They want to impeach the judges. We have Republican colleagues who have wanted posters up outside of their offices in the cannon house office building saying wanted with the judges up. There are a number of them are Republican appointed judges like judge boasberg, who might be the most reviled of the judges for the Freedom Caucus. He’s a Republican appointee. Bush appointed him to the court when he first got on it. He’s a pillar of the conservative legal establishment, but he’s a stickler for the rule of law. And anybody who stands up for the rule of law gets in their way, because this is a gangster state. And, you know, I just hope people begin to understand this is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It’s like watching the sopranos every day. They get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people and the government. Fisc. That’s what it’s all about. And, you know, people are starting to see that in very specific ways. Specific cases like Justin sun, who was, you know, the top donor to Trump’s, you know, fraudulent foray into Bitcoin, his special meme coin. This guy was facing all kinds of sec charges. And then he buys $75 million into Trump’s, one of Trump’s crypto ventures. And what do you know the sec. The sec charges are dropped and they’ve dropped 13 different sec investigations in the crypto field. And they’ve disbanded the crypto unit in the Department of Justice. So it is a gangster state that they are pushing. The criminals at this point are basically in charge of every department and agency."
