The new AG needs to quickly target all these extremist groups,

Qanon, neo-nazi's, KKK, and all military groups , and others , and Congress needs to look at making charging these types of groups easier , and with harsher penalties. They're domestic terrorists being used by trump and putin against us and our government. They need to clean up those involved in our military too. And increase penalties for threats to any member in Congress, or state and local government official to stop that from escalating.
They're trying to terrorize them , and us into submission, and make people scared to do anything against them now. If trump pardons these people , put them on the stand to testify for more information, and catch them in lies to promote charges they cant escape. Hope the new AG is good at delegating , and getting good people involved at once to help hit the floor running on numerous things. Special council for elections, one for corruption, one for the attack on the Capital, and one for russia and putin.

The police ranks are rife with White Supremacists. Just as pedophiles infected the Boy Scouts, Nazi type bullies gather in police departments, and that is one reason we see so many heinous crimes perpetrated by cops on people of color. It is a perfect job for a bully, they give you a gun, teach you how to use it then give you a license to kill.

Some of the most active terrorists are cops and former cops. I am not attempting to indict all police officers, because the majority of them are honorable people. But even honorable people can turn their heads and say "it is not my business" when their brothers are wayward. It is a career ender for a cop to throw another cop under the bus and everybody knows it.

That problem could be addressed by how cops are recruited, trained, evaluated and paid. There is just no willpower to address the issue so we live with the consequences.
