Americans are fast realizing the level of corruption and compromise at the DOJ is so rotten they might increasingly justify not recognizing the authority of America\u2019s top law enforcement agency. Cummins, a respected federal prosecutor, had himself become the target of the DOJ\u2019s politicized ire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Cummins became an unexpected player exposing the Biden Bribery accusations out of Ukraine. Cummins was approached by intermediaries for the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Yuri Lutsenko. Lutsenko clamed to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fmr-us-attorney-cummins-biden-trump-cases-pushing-americans-to-disavow-doj-authority\/\" title=\"Ex-US Attorney Cummins: Biden-Trump cases eroding trust in DOJ.\">information showing money laundering<\/a> and bank wires tired to the Bidens out of Kiev. Lutsenko was the handpicked successor to Viktor Shokin, the Prosecutor General allegedly fired by Biden for investigating Hunter Biden\u2019s Burisma activity. Cummins took the information to Jeff Berman, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Berman was investigating one of Biden\u2019s business associates in a separate fraud case. Berman\u2019s office never followed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward forward to 2022 and Cummins received a surprising notification: \u201cLast year I got an email from Apple that informed me that three years prior in 2019, which is approximately a year after I made the call to Jeff Berman, [Apple] had received a grand jury subpoena for my information out of the Southern District of New York.\u201d Cummins believes the subpoena is tied to the office investigating him instead of investigating the allegations against Biden and his associates.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cA good part of our survival as a nation depends on a neutral administration of law, of justice.\u201d Cummins says. \u201cWe\u2019ve all heard of Banana Republics where presidents get elected and exile their opponents or investigate or imprison their opponents or let their friends go to Ukraine, go to Russia and see who gets to be an oligarch and who gets prosecuted. We don\u2019t want to become that, but we\u2019re swiftly heading that way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cummins warns the next chapter gets dangerous: \u201cWhen people lose confidence in the legitimacy of law enforcement, bad things happen. People start resisting arrests. People start not respecting the authority of the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To this point, while Cummins believes Donald Trump\u2019s documents probe has been marred by poor judgment, Cummins argues that the 45<sup>th<\/sup> president can justify his actions in light of the DOJ\u2019s political compromise:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cHis best defense may be that his crime is refusing to respect the authority of the people that were giving him subpoenas \u2013 who happened to be the same people that just drug his administration through a totally faked up two year Russia probe and tried to ruin his presidency. Maybe at some point it\u2019s okay for us to tell the FBI no, or tell the Department of Justice or the court, we no longer as citizens want to respect their authority.\u201d But Cummins adds, \u201cwe don\u2019t want to go there. We want to fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has this week stated he plans to bring impeachment inquiries into Attorney General Merrick Garland by July 6.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed!
