[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The WSJ editorial board points out that Trump is doing the very thing he accused Dems of doing: weaponizing the federal government against political enemies. Why is he doing it? To send a message to former and current advisors not to cross him. I’m happy to see that one part of Robert Murdoch‘s news empire occasionally tells the truth about Trump.

“President Trump campaigned on ending lawfare and the “weaponization” of the federal government, but he’s siccing it now on his perceived enemies by name, ordering federal investigations and potentially prosecutions. This is a broken promise, an abuse of power, and another twist down the spiral of politicized law enforcement.

In a pair of extraordinary executive memoranda Wednesday, Mr. Trump directed federal agencies to open inquiries into two former officials who worked in his first Administration. One of these men is sympathetic, and the other isn’t. But by picking targets first, publicly announcing them, and only then looking for misdeeds and evidence, Mr. Trump is doing precisely what Democrats did to him.”

The article ends with this:

“The message Mr. Trump is sending, to former and current advisers, is one of intimidation. Cross him, and you’ll get put into the wringer. And good luck finding a lawyer in D.C., given the President’s campaign against big firms that have employed his political opponents.

On Jan. 20, Mr. Trump signed an executive order to end the “weaponization” of government. At this point he should rescind it as false advertising.”

If such weaponization goes unchecked and nothing is done, such practice will occurr again in the future once Democrats regain control.

They have to know such behavior will not be tolerated or condoned. [/quote]
