The current administration, under a president who disregards legal limits, is transforming the presidency into a position of authority that rejects the rule of law. This is evidenced by his threats of violence against those who uphold the Constitution. Federal agents are allegedly conducting unconstitutional raids, creating an environment of fear and undermining due process.

The Justice Department admitted in court that the grand jury was not presented with the final indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, potentially weakening the prosecution. This admission follows concerns regarding the case’s presentation, including the absence of a record of the grand jury reviewing the indictment. Furthermore, only the foreperson and a second grand juror were present for the indictment’s return. Comey, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of making a false statement and obstructing Congress, was fired by then-President Trump in 2017 amid an investigation.

In a recent Truth Social post, former President Donald Trump called for the prosecution of several Biden administration officials, including Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Lisa Monaco, over their alleged involvement in the investigation into the 2020 election. Trump claimed these officials were involved in an operation that spied on members of Congress and rigged the election, though the documents he referenced are unclear. This call for prosecution comes after the Senate Judiciary Committee released documents revealing the FBI’s analysis of phone records of Republican members of Congress during the investigation into the January 6th Capitol attack. Trump has previously expressed animosity towards Smith, and other GOP members have requested the Department of Justice investigate him.

Estonia’s State Prosecutor’s Office has adopted a novel approach to prosecuting those who financially support Russia’s military, opting for contributions to Ukrainian causes instead of traditional prosecution. This new policy was demonstrated in the case of a cryptocurrency investor who donated a total of $59.50 to a Russian organization. Instead of facing trial, the investor agreed to donate $1,785 to the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Tallinn, selected by the prosecutor’s office, and to complete 75 hours of community service. This alternative measure is in line with Estonia’s efforts to combat financial support for Russia’s aggression, especially given previous use of cryptocurrency to obscure financial traces for hybrid operations within the EU.

As the Trump administration considers expanding military deployments to liberal cities, troops carrying out these actions may face prosecution. Several Democratic leaders, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, have vowed to pursue local or state charges against any federal officials who violate residents’ rights. These local prosecutions cannot be overturned by a presidential pardon. This possibility of accountability might discourage some troops from engaging in potentially oppressive actions, despite the president’s directives.

Boeing is poised to escape criminal prosecution in the 737 Max crashes case, a decision that has enraged victims’ families.

This proposed agreement follows a previous rejected plea deal and ongoing concerns about Boeing’s safety practices. The families involved have strongly condemned the potential non-prosecution agreement as morally unacceptable. Boeing’s stock price has slightly decreased following the news.
