Bill Lee: “at the end of the day, the American people understand something is…”

On the recordMarch 8, 2024

at the end of the day, the American people understand something is terribly wrong. They understand that, when the Department of Justice is politically weaponized to prosecute again and again political opponents of this administration, including and especially the 45th President of the United States--a man who is the principal rival, the lead political opponent of the current President-- something is terribly wrong. They are violating the Justice Manual. That is not right. This amendment would fix that, and I urge my colleagues to support it. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Illinois.
