Trial Balloon · Ep. 195: Shake Up

Trump Demands Bondi Move ‘Now’ to Prosecute Foes

September 21, 2025 · 12:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Trump demanded on Saturday that his attorney general move quickly to prosecute figures he considers his enemies, the latest blow to the Justice Department’s tradition of independence,” the New York Times reports.

Said Trump: “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility… They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

“Mr. Trump named James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director; Senator Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California; and Letitia James, the New York attorney general, saying he was reading about how they were ‘all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.’”
