First lie is Krasnov/trump was the administration in power. Joe Biden was not holding any government position of power.

JD Vance will say and do anything to maintain power.

This guy gets swept up and every step of the process is ignored and he ends up in a El Salvadoran jail. Gawd. Now Trump et al are just like “Yeah it was mistake but F it were moving on. We don’t really give a F about him anyway.’

I heard a breakdown of this on NPR. I thought they said that he had won that case which included a ruling that he was NOT in a gang.

But I suspect Vance went there to learn how to sidestep or manipulate the law.
