Yesterday, in what sounded like a classic unhinged political stump speech of his, lawless felon the Malignant Fascist spoke to an audience of Department of Justice employees and local law enforcement, ranting about his "enemies" in Federal law enforcement and media. Departing from the norm of past Presidents when addressing DOJ, he called out specific adversaries and threatened them with prosecution, after claiming he'd done away with the "weaponization" of the DOJ. The Associated Press reports:
"President Donald Trump pledged to 'expose' his enemies during a norm-breaking political speech Friday at the Justice Department in which he aired a litany of grievances about the criminal cases he faced and vowed retribution for what he described as the 'lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls.' [snip]
Though other presidents have spoken from the Justice Department’s ceremonial Great Hall, Trump’s address amounted to an extraordinary display of partisan politics and personal grievance inside an institution that is meant to be blind to both. Casting himself as the country’s 'chief law enforcement officer,' a title ordinarily reserved for the attorney general, he promised to target his perceived enemies even as he claimed to be ending what he called the weaponization of the department. [snip]
He mentioned by name prosecutors who investigated him, calling them “scum,” and called the classified documents case against him 'bulls—-.' He claimed that 'a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and goodwill built up over generations,' and said that before the department could turn the page, 'we must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls...'” (our emphasis)
Having AG Pam Blondie Bondi and FBI Director Kash "Cash Only" Patel, two slavishly loyal toadies, in top DOJ positions will make his vengeance all the more likely, as he's already fired prosecutors who brought charges against his violent, seditious January 6 cultists who attacked the Capitol at his direction. Reading through the account of his grievance-filled speech, every DOJ employee should be deeply offended by this felon and con artist who's never seen a law that he didn't bend or break.
