How many in this Administration will say, "I was only following orders"?

[kentuck]

Since they have all taken their loyalty test for the Dictator Trump, we would have to say that all of them would use the excuse, "I was only following orders". That's what all the good Germans said about Hitler. But they went along.

It all came out at the Nuremberg trials. And following orders did not save them from execution. It is not a valid excuse for anything that JD Vance, or Pam Bondi, or Pete Hegseth, or any of the other accomplices might think they can use.

They are part of the crime against our country. They cannot separate themselves from the criminal acts. Their job is to support their Leader, the Dictator Trump.

We can only hope that someday they will be standing before a jury of their peers.

We could expect them to say. "I was only following orders".

1. "I was only following orders...because he promised me a full pardon if I was completely loyal."

Had Hitler pardoned his henchmen, the Nuremberg prosecutors wouldn't have recognized them. Unfortunately, future Democratic AGs will have to honor Trump's pardons.

3. Unless a new Congress can pass a law that convicted felons cannot have the power to pardon?

Then the pardons would be invalid.

So much of what they are doing is blatantly against international standards, they should be tried in an international court.

4. The thing about the administration is they are all disgusting authoritarians all on their own

We know they aren't just following orders. He doesn't even know what they are doing half the time

7. IF we don't return to the

Status Quo - I expect we will here quite a few.

I don't want to hear or read: we have to come together.

We didn't say that to German war criminals. We need radical punishment and departure from the old rule of law (already decimated by the regime) - and a new rule of law which says Tribunals flesh out, convict, and punish the perpetrators of these intolerable acts.

8. If a Repub wins in 2028, they'll all be pardoned

If a Dem wins, it'll be "time to move forward, not look back."
