The Justice Department Is the Tip of Trump’s Retribution Spear
Sign up for the email version. The politicized prosecutions by the Trump Justice Department have only just begun.
We have three more years of this. The challenge in covering them will be to stay updated on the developments.
Holiday Weekend Developments
Over the holiday weekend, there were developments in the three highest profile political prosecutions. A flurry of weekend filings in the political prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey suggest prosecutors are overmatched.
- In pre-trial procedural matters, the judge in the case twice ruled in favor of Comey.
- Comey is represented by former Chicago U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who has never been a prosecutor before.
- The career prosecutors in the office declined to bring charges against Comey.
- The two line prosecutors brought from North Carolina to handle the case don’t have any experience in high-profile national cases like this.
