'likely' illegal

Need libs to get it through their heads that the law is not a binding spell

penned an open letter to the Inspector General of the Department of Justice and the Archivist of the United States, urging them to “take action” and investigate the DOJ’s removal of its Jan. 6 database — detailing criminal charges and convictions related to the 2021 Capitol attack — which they call a “likely violation” of federal law.

Oh well if the inspector general who wasn't sacked is on the case

Don't worry libs, federal law will be changed soon.
