Liz Oyer, former Pardon Attorney, describes how Todd Blanche fired her when she refused to do a dangerous official favor for Trump friend Mel Gibson. The actor lost his federal firearm rights after committing domestic violence. Gibson assaulted his girlfriend while she was holding their baby daughter, smashing her in the mouth, breaking her teeth, threatening her with his gun. Gibson asked Trump’s DOJ to reinstate his federal firearm rights despite his criminal conviction. Although Blanche had the power to do it on his own, he tried to force Oyer to give her stamp of approval. Not convinced of Gibson’s rehabilitation or his lack of dangerousness, and knowing that over half of women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or past intimate partner, and the presence of firearms in an abusive household increases the risk of murder by 500%, Oyer refused to have anything to do with Blanche’s dangerous and unethical suggestion. Blanche sacked her.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb calls Trump earning over $1 billion from crypto ventures “the greatest onslaught of corruption in the history of mankind.”
Former CIA Director Brennan is suing the Trump administration. He hasn't been charged with a crime. He's suing to stop evidence he’ll need to defend himself from disappearing before he's charged with one.
The complaint names the judge DOJ is allegedly trying to get his case in front of—and it's not a name you'll be surprised by. https://t.co/2iFyj1upzL
President Donald J. Trump commuted the prison term of David Gentile, who led GPB Capital, less than two weeks after he began serving a seven-year sentence in a $1.6 billion fraud that prosecutors said harmed more than 10,000 investors. https://t.co/0JGqpVj7JW
Donald Trump's DOJ has once again missed ANOTHER deadline for releasing the unredacted Epstein files.
It's way past time for Judge's to start holding the DOJ in contempt of court! There must be accountability.
