Maggie Haberman: Trump Blames DOJ for Politicizing Justice System, Ignoring His Own Attempts to Do So

[pyetro]

Trump Says the Justice System Has Been Weaponized. He Would Know. (Published 2023)

The former president is attempting to cast the investigations into his actions as politically motivated uses of the justice system. In office, he regularly sought to use government powers against his foes.

www.nytimes.com

So basically, Maggie Haberman wrote this article in The New York Times where she totally calls out Trump for being a hypocrite.

He’s been going around saying that the justice system is being used against him by his political enemies. But the thing is, he’s done the exact same thing! He’s always been trying to use the F.B.I. and I.R.S. to go after people he doesn’t like.

He wanted the DOJ to prosecute John Kerry for some Nothingurger about Iran.

And it’s not just big stuff like calling for Hillary Clinton to be prosecuted. He’s done petty stuff too, like blocking Nancy Pelosi from using a military plane to visit troops in Afghanistan. So yeah, Haberman totally owned him in her article by pointing out his hypocrisy.

Every single thing Trump accuses others of doing is what he's done. That no good fuck has caused nothing but chaos in this Country from the first day he took office. This is what happens when a sociopath is elected to run this Country.

He's just revving up & he'll blow the whole thing up by the time he's done.

Have you ever posted a thread that wasn't pure bullshit?


"Of the last three presidents, Trump was either the most indifferent or the most obstructed when it came to using government agencies for his own partisan political advantages or to neuter his enemies.

For the Left, Donald Trump is synonymous with “fascism” (or “semi-fascism,” as Joe Biden put it the other day). And for Liz Cheney and most of the NeverTrumpers, he remains an existential threat to democracy.

But to quantify those charges, what exactly has Trump done extralegally - as opposed to his bombast and braggadocio about what he might have wished to have done?

And what are the standards by which to judge this supposed menace?

Did Trump illegally and with a mere signature nullify over $300 billion of contracted student loans—to firm up his college-student and college-graduate base nine weeks before the midterm elections?

If Trump wished to abuse his power over the IRS, he would have followed the Obama model of weaponizing it during a reelection year to go after his ideological enemies.

Did Trump blatantly use the national security apparatus of the government to enhance his own reelection bid in 2020?

Was Trump ever caught on a hot mic promising a Russian president that he would try to ease Russian worries about Eastern European missile defense if only the Russians would give him space during his 2012 campaign for president against Mitt Romney?

Did Trump weaponize the FBI? That is, did the FBI go after journalists, former Obama officials, or Democratic Party activists who variously were attacking Don Jr. or Ivanka on the pretenses of retrieving one of their lost laptops or diaries?

Are there texts of Trump-era FBI agents talking about how to “stop” Hillary Clinton’s or Biden’s election bid?

Did the Trump Justice Department start an investigation of the suspected illegal lobbying of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, who used the former’s political connections to win large cash payments from foreign governments?

Did Trump order an FBI raid on the Obama home, on rumors that there were thousands of documents under dispute with the National Archives in his possession, especially given the Obama record of fiercely fighting any Freedom of Information Act lawsuits to release his documents?

Was Jake Sullivan’s phone grabbed by the FBI at an airport to determine his role in the Russian collusion hoax?

Are there now any former Trump loyalists who, as “anonymous” officials in cabinet agencies or obstructionists on the National Security Council, are writing op-eds about their stealthy daily efforts to undermine Biden’s executive orders or his administration’s action?

Are there now “50 former intelligence officials” who signed affidavits in support of Trump’s allegations about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop?

Between 2017 and 2020, did Trump’s team systematically seek to change the voting laws in key states to radically transform traditional balloting, in a mail-in or early voting revolution, in which only 30 percent of the electorate would vote on Election Day?

Was there any “dark money” effort analogous to the efforts of corporate and tech money along with DNC activists and Biden operators in what Time magazine’s Molly Ball described as a “conspiracy” to ensure the defeat of Trump’s opponent?

How about Trump’s efforts to revolutionize the very system of government? Did he promote a court-packing scheme to ensure he might not just get a 5-4 majority, but perhaps an 11-4 conservative advantage in a new 15-justice Supreme Court?

Did he dream up ways of getting rid of the Electoral College so the “blue wall” might never return?

Did Trump as president meet with CIA and FBI directors who, in their weekly and daily briefings, apprised him of efforts to monitor, spy, and infiltrate the campaign of Joe Biden?

The strange thing about Trump was that he did not use extraordinary powers to investigate anyone unlawfully. He boasted, he railed, he screamed, he whined, he became at times crude and obnoxious. But he did not use the FBI, the CIA, the Justice Department, or the IRS to go after the Obamas, the Clintons, or the Bidens.

In fact, of the last three presidents, Trump was either the most inept or indifferent, or the most obstructed concerning any issue of using government agencies for his own partisan political advantages or to neuter his enemies. "

don't bother to read. The three items about are so muddy.
John Kerry - what was the deal?
Hillary - C'mon, the email and Benghazi
Nancy - what was the deal?

Not reading the article: What was your deal?
Not wondering why the AG didn't listen to Trump. What was your deal?.

I'm not going to read an article twice because you're a lazy dumbass.

Your ".....Trump for being a hypocrite...." quote from the article is so weak and vague. Why should people bother to read the article?

weak and vague because a right-wing nickname in a message board says so.

So Donald Trump wanted John Kerry prosecuted for something so muddy that even you, a right wing nut, can't figure out what the charges would have been? You swore you were making Trump look good. Meanwhile, you pretend not to have been alive in 2019 when this was reported:

Trump says John Kerry should be prosecuted for talking to Iran

No one has ever been convicted of violating the Logan Act.
