“I want him out,” President Trump declared on Friday, referring to Erik Siebert, the career prosecutor whom he had tapped less than five months earlier to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Siebert, who had been in the role in an acting capacity since January and whose nomination was pending on the Senate floor, complied in short order. According to numerous reports, Siebert had balked at bringing criminal charges against two of Trump’s supposed enemies: New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, who had sued Trump and his company for fraud; and the former F.B.I. director James Comey, whom Trump had fired during his first term. This moment was inevitable.
Since Trump reëntered office, the Justice Department has dismissed career federal prosecutors for an array of unjustified and self-serving reasons. In the hierarchy of the Administration’s horrors, the firing of Siebert is “about as bad as it gets,” Ruth Marcus writes. Marcus writes about how Siebert’s removal sends an ominous message to other federal prosecutors about the risks they incur if they fail to do the President’s bidding: [https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/donald-trumps-firing-of-a-federal-prosecutor-crosses-the-reddest-of-lines](https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/donald-trumps-firing-of-a-federal-prosecutor-crosses-the-reddest-of-lines)

And no consequences. Our constitution is a farce. Built entirely on good faith and tradition.

HAha.
Trump lives on the other side of the reddest of red lines.
Show me that he’s paid for it.

You guys. He already staged a coup and attacked the capitol. There is no line redder than that. And we crossed it five years ago.

He fomented a rebellion. Is there a bigger line than that?

No problem. His replacement, Lindsey Halligan, is a very experienced prosecutor. Ok, maybe moderately experienced. Ummm… actually she has absolutely zero experience as a prosecutor. Not even a parking ticket.

Idiots. There are no lines 🙂 he can do whatever he wants especially with the dickheads behind his back in the congress who are scared not to be endorsed in the midterms. Check what will happen when he’s gone with the heart issues he got this will end fast. Republicans in the congress are scared of him and they will do nothing even if he shoot somebody on 5th

I can think of a redder line, which seems very close tbh.

Perhaps if the media had possessed the will not to sanewash Trump, giving him a red carpet to the presidency, he wouldn’t be crossing all these „redlines“.

Well, add it to the ever-growing pile of crossed red lines.

It simply doesn’t matter. Democracy is dead because the party in power will not hold their own accountable for anything and are enjoying the over reach of power. The founding fathers would be so disappointed in what this country has turned into.

Until he is held accountable for literally anything at all, there are no lines.

He could just say no, and keep working

Gonna have to quote Joey Tribbini, the line is a dot to the GOP.

This guy walks a path of crossed red lines, and nobody does anything. Until he faces consequences he is just going to keep doing it.

January 6 was a line. But so was calling out judges in 2015 and asking for russias help in 2016 and demanding Comey’s personal loyalty.

Federal employee, president boss of Federal government try again next time

The reddest of lines, so far!

Do the people who write this garbage forget all about the shit Trump has been doing, and getting away with for the last 10 years? There is no line too far for Trump and MAGA.
