New Details Emerge On How Trump Already Weaponized DOJ The First Time

[Marener]

Read their minds? It is ALL Democrats trying to get Trump from local levels, to state levels, to the federal level, with many of them running for election claiming they will get Trump.

No one in the DoJ who is investigating or prosecuting Trump said anything of that nature or ran for any office.

So did you read their minds?

I'm talking about the whole ball of wax. Trump is the victim of abuse of the justice system by localities, states, and the federal government, with several of them running campaigns promising they will get Trump. And ALL of them are democrats.

You’re lumping together people who are unrelated. The DoJ is separate from states. It’s called federalism.

Which is why I’m asking for evidence of any politicization by Biden at the federal level?

If you’re having trouble recalling all the ways in which DOJ’s independence, professionalism, and reputation were sullied by Trump’s depredations, the NYT offers a much-needed reminder in a tight, accessible and very on-point package it published over the weekend.

The lead story in the package, authored by reporter Michael S. Schmidt, includes new, never-before-reported details about efforts by the Trump White House Counsel’s Office to steer him away from even worse abuses of the Justice Department and to memorialize those efforts in a self-protective memo, drafts of which they reportedly snuck out of the White House for safekeeping. Your ass-covering memo doesn’t do you much good if it’s hidden away in a White House vault you can no longer access – or is simply destroyed.

A valuable sidebar to the main story is a list of some of the highest profile instances of Trump abusing DOJ to target people he considered threats. It’s a good refresher if time, ambiguity, and the sheer volume of Trump’s transgressions have overwhelmed your memory.

Perhaps the best evidence of what we’re in for in Trump II is what we already endured the first time around.

As President, Trump Demanded Investigations of Foes. He Often Got Them.​

Interviews, court filings and secret White House documents shed new light on how Mr. Trump’s demands for prosecutions in the spring of 2018 ignited a behind-the-scenes push by some of his top aides to contain his impulses, protect the rule of law and insulate the White House from legal and political blowback — issues that some of them say are arguably even more acute today.

The memo that Mr. McGahn’s lawyers in the White House Counsel’s Office produced following Mr. Trump’s April 2018 tirade about prosecuting Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Comey amounted to a primer on presidential power — and the limits on it — when it comes to the justice system, according to draft copies of it.

As President, Trump Demanded Investigations of Foes. He Often Got Them.

He has threatened to target his perceived enemies if elected again. A look at his time in the White House shows how readily he could do so.

There is ample evidence as part of the public record that trump's effort to corrupt the DoJ, some of which succeeded and some of which was thwarted by aides, is immediately disqualifying for a second term.

Adoring trump fans will look away, call it fake news, call it TDS, do what they must to ignore the simple, obvious, demonstrable truth. trump is not qualified to be the next prez. Presidential candidates have historically always viewed being elected as an opportunity to serve the nation. trump sees it as an opportunity to serve himself.

You have no problem with authoritarian regimes
You only have a problem with them when it's not your anti depressant popping dumb as dirt leftie bureaucrats aren't in charge of it....

LOL. They are ALL related. They are all out to get Trump as members of the Borg Collective. And they often communicate with each other about it.

How are they all related?

Who are Jack Smith and Merrick Garland communicating with?

They are all related because they are all democrats, part of the Borg Collective, and the Borg Collective all know what to do. They all have their parts in the Collective to fulfill and they often talk to each other about their respective cases. That also includes the civil cases where a DOJ prosecutor accepted a roll in the NYC civil trial against Trump.

Apparently the difference is we have evidence of Trump politicizing the DoJ and you have nothing.

There’s no evidence of what you say. You just say it and expect people to believe you.

GASLIGHT ALERT

 

[whitehall]

These aren't "details". The story is based on Mr. Schmidt's opinion that's he was steered away from the DOJ. Why in the world would he assume that the DOJ welcome a NYT reporter who was hostile to the administration? It's much ado about nothing but sour grapes.

Rod the Mossad Rosenstein is a Zionist Fascist 911 W "Biden Republican"

Thanks for validating the 100% correlation between

Zionist Fascist 911 Traitors and "Republicans for Harris"

I've enjoyed your comedy but it's time for you to go.

 

[berg80]

So, Trump weaponized the DOJ to investigate himself? Boy are you stupid.

It's times like these when I question your literacy, and or your attachment to reality.

[whitehall]

This is the sleaziest kind of spin. A NYT reporter thinks he was targeted because he was refused access to the Trump DOJ. It plays right into the left wing paranoia better than Russian disinformation.

 

[berg80]

Let's say for the sake of argument that Trump weaponized the DOJ while president and that he says he will do it again if he wins. How is that any different than democrats weaponizing law enforcement all over the country, including the DOJ, to go after Trump over the last several years?

"Let's say for the sake of argument that Trump weaponized the DOJ while president and that he says he will do it again if he wins." That's true. trump ordered investigations in to perceived enemies as a form of retribution/intimidation. Nothing came of them.

"How is that any different than democrats weaponizing law enforcement all over the country, including the DOJ, to go after Trump over the last several years?" That's a lie. Disparate grand juries from unconnected jurisdictions indicted trump based on the evidence.

See the difference?

The story is based on Mr. Schmidt's opinion

The story is based on court documents, internal WH memos, interviews, actual investigations ordered by trump, and trump's own words as to what he'll do in a second term. Why do you hate the truth so much? Oh......wait......never mind.

It doesn't take a genius to see that every single case against Trump is being brought on by democrats. That's why you can't see it. You're not only not a genius but you're just plain stupid from drinking in all the blue kool aid.
