J20 Trials
Crushing dissent isn't new to the White House; Bush and Obama both had the FBI arrest innocent protesters and journalists in order to keep democracy down. The difference with Trump is that his Justice Department under U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions--a long-time opponent of civil rights--is out to imprison those it perceives as subversives under conspiracy to riot for merely being in proximity to people who commit vandalism. Like Reagan's AG Ed Meese, Sessions appears fixated on destroying Constitutional guarantees of free speech and lawful dissent.
