The threat is the latest of Trump’s wide-ranging efforts to undermine democratic processes ahead of the midterms.

    Looking through the article I don’t see anything being “shut down”. A judge told them to do something, which has historically been ineffective with this admin. Who’s going to jail if they keep doing it? No one? Guess what…

      It means that any further harassment can be effectively ignored.

      While I still believe there are a lot of people that need to be jailed, this is not an instance where that was the intent behind the ruling.

        Sounds like my elementary school principal every time I told him kids were picking on me: “Just ignore it.”

        It stopped when I started beating the shit out of them.

        I don’t think it does. The DOJ can continue to harass them. And possibly press charges. What will this judge do?

          Press charges? The court already ruled that won’t fly.

          They can TRY. It won’t mean anything…

          They may continue to harass. They probably will. But it’ll be empty.
