  1. It’s how the myth of white male supremacy sustains itself, through the celebration of harm as history, and the erasure of those who suffer under it as collateral damage.

    Until we dismantle that myth and stop mistaking peace prizes for PR campaigns then this cycle of violence disguised as virtue will continue.

  4. …And in #Trump’s case, a meeting w/the #AttorneyGeneral would be even more unusual & problematic because the investigation is being led by #JackSmith, whose #SpecialCounsel appointment gives him greater autonomy than other prosecutors in the #Justice Dept. Under dept regs, the AG may overrule the special counsel ONLY IF the special counsel has failed to follow DOJ policies & practices.

  5. It is not unusual for lawyers for high-profile defendants to seek an audience w/snr #DOJ ofcls toward the end of a federal #criminal investigation. But it would be uncommon for such meetings to take place w/the #AttorneyGeneral, the nation’s top #law enforcement ofcl.
