The clear expectation of federal prosecutors is that it's off-limits to criminally pursue Trump functionaries carrying out his orders. He's fired 30+ AUSA's just this week, because they had previously prosecuted Trump allies.

I guess it's up to the states to sue the government then. Trump can't fire publicly elected state AG's.

If he's gonna try to privatize everything with "state's rights", we gotta use those state's powers against him. Using the rulebook he's bound by.
