Which "way of gov't" are you referring to?

"When it came to journalists and their sources, the Espionage Act was occasionally invoked as a threat, but lay largely dormant until the twenty-first century. One exception was the Reagan-era prosecution of Samuel L. Morison for giving information to Jane’s Defense Weekly. Yet the case was considered such an anomaly that Bill Clinton granted a full and unconditional pardon to Morison.

This changed with the Obama administration, which normalized the practice of indicting journalists’ sources under the Espionage Act. Obama’s Department of Justice chose to continue or, in some cases, reopen Bush-era cases against national security whistleblowers, bringing an unprecedented number of Espionage Act indictments. These included indictments against NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou."

I've said this a million times. Republicans believe in free elections ONLY when their side wins. They want a dictatorship.

There's no evidence of voter fraud, yet they lied themselves into believing it. They lied themselves into thinking Pence could overturn an election, etc. These people are not normal. They're manipulated by other morons.
