Objection: The U.S. Attorney for D.C. is NOT the President's Lawyer

When prosecutors pledge loyalty to a leader instead of the law, democracy is in danger

Today, the U.S. attorney for D.C. posted the following tweet where he called himself and his staff “Trumps’ [sic] lawyers.”

That is not how this works. Federal prosecutors are supposed to serve the people, not any one president. This is more than just an outrageous statement — it’s a sign of our legal system being weaponized to serve power instead of the law. We should all be terrified.
