A Legal Heist.

The article discusses the Project 2025 blueprint, which outlines conservative plans to reshape the Department of Justice (DOJ) and consolidate power. The authors of the blueprint aim to use the DOJ to legalize their own desires while removing legal means to oppose them. The blueprint proposes weakening the FBI's independence and focusing on "violent" crime, excluding nonviolent crimes that may implicate Trump or his associates. It also suggests using the DOJ to target Democrats in "sanctuary cities" and transform the Civil Rights Division to fight against diversity and affirmative action. The article warns of the dangerous and discriminatory implications of these proposals and urges readers to take them seriously. [Extracted from the article]
