Trump and MAGA spent years screaming that the Justice Department was being weaponized against them. Turns out that was their plan all along.
Today alone the DOJ filed a new multibillion-dollar lawsuit against Harvard (the second in a month) demanding the school pay back federal grants over antisemitism allegations. A federal judge already ruled last year that the White House illegally pulled Harvard’s funding and called the antisemitism argument a “smokescreen.” What Trump actually wants is control over Harvard’s admissions, hiring, and curriculum. Harvard said no. So now they’re getting sued again.
The DOJ’s so-called “grand conspiracy” probe subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey. This investigation has now issued more than 130 subpoenas targeting Obama and Biden-era officials. It’s being run by a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Florida, with Judge Aileen Cannon overseeing the grand jury the same judge who went to extraordinary lengths to protect Trump in the classified documents case. A previous attempt to prosecute Comey already failed. John Durham spent years chasing the same conspiracy theory and found nothing. They don’t care. The point isn’t to win in court. The point is to punish.
And Colombian President Gustavo Petro (one of Trump’s loudest critics) is reportedly under criminal investigation by at least two U.S. federal prosecutors’ offices.
This is the DOJ as a weapon. Against universities that won’t submit, officials who investigated Trump, and foreign leaders who won’t fall in line. Every accusation is a confession!
