'Trump DOJ Crosses The Rubicon With Investigation Of The Investigators' [View all]

"On her first day as attorney general, Pam Bondi launched an investigation of the Biden-era investigators of President Donald Trump that will report its progress directly to the White House. It’s a crossing the Rubicon moment for DOJ independence that is compounded by the fact that Trump has made Stephen Miller the point person on the administration-wide effort to exact retribution for the criminal investigations of the president."

"Bondi created what she has dubbed the 'Weaponization Working Group' as part of her sweeping implementation of President Trump’s executive order, with its own Orwellian title: 'Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government.' She cites the executive order in her memo announcing the working group."

"Bondi charged the working group with reviewing 'the activities of all departments and agencies exercising civil or criminal enforcement authority of the United States over the last four years' – language that mirrors Trump’s executive order – for evidence that it improperly targeted Trump, the Jan. 6 rioters, and other MAGA hobbyhorses."

"At the top of Bondi’s list is Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutions of Trump, but it also targets Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his prosecution of Trump, and New York Attorney General Letitia James for her civil actions against Trump, his family, and his businesses."
