New York Times: “Mr. Trump’s directives have so far hit a stubborn snag. Few, if any, of those singled out have done anything to invite conventional prosecutorial scrutiny, much less committed prosecutable crimes to warrant an indictment under federal law.”
“But a Trump loyalist, given new, vague and possibly vast power, has found a workaround.”
“In recent days, Ed Martin, the self-described ‘captain’ of the Justice Department’s ‘weaponization’ group, made a candid if unsurprising admission: He plans to use his authority to expose and discredit those he believes to be guilty, even if he cannot find sufficient evidence to prosecute them — weaponizing an institution he has been hired to de-weaponize, in the view of critics.”
