Bovino should not be allowed to slink away

He should be dragged back in front of that judge who had issued an explicit order not to gas protesters, which Bovino promptly ignored right after.
Congressional committees should make him testify. That may happen now as it appears Trump is ready to ditch him to try to improve his poll numbers or later when we retake the house but happen it must.

Is likely next if shitshow continues.

You get the feeling the communication inside the GOP party is lit, lit, lit right now.

Once there is a new admin, justice will likely be swift. He wont be able to avoid it forever.

7. Go after his pension

He’s retiring soon. If they can go after Mark Kelly’s pension—who broke no law, did not lie, and behaved ethically—we sure as shit should go after Bovino’s.

I dont think Trump's justice department will do this.
However, when we do retake the country, all bets are off.

Earned pension is earned as part of your pay. Even if you go to prison it's still your pension.

UAL declared bankruptcy and bailed on their pensions. Thousands of employees were screwed. There are plenty of similar stories.

Bovino’s pension is based on civil service grade. All they have to do is reduce his grade for cause. For, like, permitting his subordinates to commit murder and willfully ignoring the Constitution.

once there is an opening for the SCOTUS.

In the meantime he'll be living a life paved in gold by his MAGA handlers.

Shit never goes away...it just changes forms.
