Justice Dept. Official Pushes Prosecutors to Investigate George Soros’s Foundation
A senior Justice Department official has instructed more than a half dozen U.S. attorneys’ offices to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros, the billionaire Democratic donor who President Trump has demanded be thrown in jail.The official’s directive, a copy of which was viewed by The New York Times, goes as far as to list possible charges prosecutors could file, ranging from arson to material support of terrorism. The memo suggests department leaders are following orders from the president that specific people or groups be subject to criminal investigation — a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference.
The move is the latest instance of the Justice Department moving against Mr. Trump’s perceived enemies.
Over the weekend, the president urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to act quickly in seeking criminal charges against his longtime nemesis, the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, and the New York attorney general, Letitia James, who has sued Mr. Trump and his businesses for hundreds of millions of dollars. Separate investigations into them are being conducted by federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia, and grand juries may soon be asked to vote on proposed indictments in those cases.
It's almost as though trump imagines himself speaking at one of his rallies, playing to the audience for an applause line by mentioning yet another target in order to elicit a cheer. He's ginned up a lot of hatred over the years for Comey, James, Schiff, Soros, Smith, Bragg, Merchan, Pelosi, it's a very long list. Now he's in a position to act on his animus...........in unprecedented fashion for America........but not in countries lead by leaders he admires. Russia, Hungary, Turkey come to mind.
It will no doubt excite the trump devotees on the board when they should be horrified at the drip, drip, drip of autocratic style governance.
