Make no mistake about it. Claiming the DOJ is weaponized, that the FBI is weaponized and out to get everyone who disagrees with President Biden is part of the war cries to go after Law Enforcement and take them down. We have evidence that then President Trump, watched Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot unfold on TV, ignored pleas to call for peace. Which was an attack on Law Enforcement unseen in ages.
This is a political season where riding Mr. Trump's coattails, many members of the GOP will be out campaigning against LE.

inside, there was no mention of Jan. 6, as Mr. Trump received a hero’s welcome from his allies in Congress. At the Capitol Hill Club, not far from where violence consumed the Capitol that day, House Republicans feted their party’s presumptive nominee, sang him a happy birthday song and presented him with a bat from their victory over Democrats in the Congressional Baseball Game the night before.
Mr. Trump was recast as both hero and victim. He has been indicted in three criminal cases — over his effort to subvert the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents — and convicted in a fourth on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records.
Behind closed doors, Mr. Trump ranted against law enforcement officials, and House Republicans emerged from the meeting vowing to fight even harder to protect him from various prosecutors pursuing him. They pledged to issue subpoenas and cut funding for law enforcement agencies that investigate Mr. Trump.
Attacks on LE were captured on live video as well as on cellphones, tablets...
"President Trump sat at his dining table and watched the attack on television while his senior-most staff, closest advisors and family members begged him to do what is expected of any American president," said Democratic Representative Elaine Luria.
The panel played videotaped testimony from White House aides and security staff discussing the events of the day.
Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone was asked question after question in the recorded testimony about Trump's actions: did he call the secretary of defense? The attorney general? The head of Homeland Security? Cipollone answered "no" to each query.
