Never since Richard Nixon’s « enemies list » in the Watergate scandal, more than half a century ago, has an American president waged such a vicious campaign of retaliation.
John Bolton had consorted with the devil as national security advisor during Trump’s first term, before incurring his wrath. And ending up in the dock. I won’t shed a tear for the moron.
James Comey, former FBI director appointed by Barack Obama in 2013, has been indicted by Sam Bondy, the Department of Justice. No one has yet figured out whether this person betrayed Hillary Clinton two weeks before the 2017 election or if he has been just clumsy. And consequently stupid.
Laetitia James, the New York Attorney General who initiated the proceedings that should have ruined Donald Trump, incurred the tyrant’s wrath because she believed she could stand up to him through the law.
But he has already transformed the Constitution and civil rights into minced meat. And that’s where we can weep.
Numerous other POLITICAL investigations are underway: against former CIA Director John Brennan; against former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who participated in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election; against former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who investigated the attack on the Capitol; and against Lisa Cook, an economist and member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, who is Black and has been disliked.
The tyrant is imitated by his supporters, who themselves become petty tyrants and manipulate public opinion, like Sandra Loomer, who launched a witch hunt against those who « rejoiced » online at the death of the racist influencer Kirk.
The tyrant also collectively pardoned the 1,600 people charged or convicted for their participation in the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
After having the audacity to sign an executive order on the first day of his second term entitled « Ending the Weaponisation of the Federal Government, » Trump is using the federal government and the Department of Justice to wage a war. A war against what the president, and many Republicans with him, consider the Democrats’ weaponisation of justice: primarily at the end of Obama’s presidency, when the FBI investigated the ties between Donald and Vladimir Vladimirovich, his Russian case officer.
Under Obama and Biden, the judiciary prosecuted Trump four times in criminal court, justifiably and independently of the executive branch, just as it would any other defendant. And because this repeat offender deserved it. Today, Trump himself proclaims that the proceedings against his enemies are motivated by revenge.
There is no longer any separation of powers. The Supreme Court, then the entire judicial system, indeed the entire justice system in this country, is under control of the tyrant.
