Trump is so obsessed with prosecuting James and Comey that he removed longtime Republican prosecutor Erik Siebert from his post in Virginia, replacing him with Lindsey Halligan, a trusted friend with no experience as a prosecutor...
In 2013, the IRS targeted the Tea Party and other conservative organizations for special scrutiny. Four years later, the federal government reached a settlement and the IRS apologized. Will it be déjà vu all over again?
The Trump administration is waging a major crackdown on leading liberal organizations. The first blow came in late August when President Trump sought to charge liberal billionaire George Soros and his son, Alex, under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act for supporting violent protests across America. The libertarian CATO Institute, a decades-old bastion of free speech advocates, was quick to note that “calling for prosecution may be bragging.”
The New York Times reports that a new Justice Department directive suggests targeting Soros and his Open Society Foundations for a host of crimes, including arson and material support for terrorism. Like his ally Viktor Orban, who has demonized Soros, a Holocaust survivor, as a dangerous international banker who poses a threat to Hungarian sovereignty, Trump seems determined to crush him by any means necessary. Whether he will succeed is another matter.
Over the past several months, Trump has systematically targeted those he sees as his domestic enemies. They include his former national security adviser John Bolton, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and former FBI Director James Comey.

Apparently, she has been installed to do Trump's bidding, which is to ensure that Comey is arrested for lying to Congress.
Prosecutors in the Virginia office have already indicated that there is not enough evidence for a real conviction, but that is just a detail for Trump. Trump's approach seems to resemble Stalin's aide Lavrentiy Beria, who declared: "Show me the man and I will find the crime."
But even with Trump’s flexible interpretation of the law, it may be difficult to convince a grand jury of wrongdoing by Soros, James, or Comey. The cases appear to be more than a little weak. Comey is a man who slips, but he is hardly one to try to deceive Congress. It was his moral failings that led him to declare that the FBI was reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails on the eve of Election Day, a move that helped propel Trump to the pinnacle of his career in 2016.
How the inexperienced Halligan is supposed to handle the challenge from her prosecutors is a pertinent question. For its part, the Open Society Foundations claims that the charges against her are "politically motivated attacks on civil society, designed to silence speech with which the administration disagrees and undermine the First Amendment right to free speech."
As the Trump administration resumes legal action, it is also targeting the US military, so to speak. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has summoned several hundred generals and admirals to meet at a military base in Quantico, Virginia, where they will be told... what? Speculations range from mass firings to a speech by Trump demanding their personal loyalty.
Trump doesn't want to govern America. He wants to rule it. He's raising the bar almost daily, as he targets his real and perceived enemies.
However, he is facing opposition, whether from Soros or Senator Ted Cruz, who recently compared Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr to a mob boss for trying to get Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the air.
The Economist has declared that Trump is trying to silence his critics, but “will fail.” Will he fail? / The Spectator/
Tramp nuk është mandatuar nga populli Amerikan që të promovoi besnikët e Xhorxh Soros dhe as të tjerve radikal të majtë. Tej mbushja e SHBA me emigracion të paligjshëm, ku hynte 'derri e dosa', kriminel, bandit, fentanil, armë, mban firmën e tyre. Kjo politikë po shpërbënte SHBA. Tramp ofroi emigracion të ligjshëm. Të besuarët e tij po e jetësojnë vizionin. Të tjera beteja duhen fituar.
