The DOJ shoots the career prosecutors while the Trump’s Revenge Tour continues

When Donald Trump appeared in “Meet The Press” a month after winning a second mandate, Kristen Welker of NBC News asked the then elected president if he intended to “seek compensation” against his perceived political enemies. “I’m not looking to go back to the past” The Republican responded.

However, a week in his second term, Trump’s interest in the recent past is difficult to lose. In fact, the new president has launched A Revenge Tour without modern precedent, with actions that range from The petty for the potentially dangerous.

The compensation campaign has also reached the Department of Justice. NBC News reported:

The Department of Justice said Monday that he fired several career lawyers involved in the prosecution of Donald Trump, climbing the president’s remuneration campaign against his perceived enemies. The employees worked on the investigation of the special lawyer Jack Smith that led to the accusations now dismitted against Trump for their handling of classified documents and their efforts to cancel their electoral loss of 2020 in the period prior to the attack of January 6 against the Capitol of The United States.

“Today, interim attorney general James Mchenry ended the use of several officials of the Department of Justice who played an important role in prosecuting of President Trump,” wrote an official of the Department of Justice to NBC News. “In the light of his actions, the Interim Attorney does not trust these officials to help faithfully implement the president’s agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the government weapon. “

Of course, in our government system, it is not necessarily the work of career prosecutors “implement Trump’s wishes. In fact, given the circumstances, it is natural to ask whether expelled officials could take legal measures, indicating the protections of the civil service granted to officials who are not appointed politicians.

In addition, it is important to appreciate how twisted it is the broader context. After compiling bulky evidence, federal prosecutors alleged that Trump, following their 2020 electoral defeat, committed a variety of crimes. Years later, prosecutors who did nothing wrong are unemployed, while a convict criminal is in the oval office.

Joyce Vance, a former American prosecutor, told NBC News: “The dismissal of prosecutors due to cases in which they were assigned to work is unacceptable.” The NBC News legal taxpayer added that such a measure is “antidemocracy.”

Nor is the type of dynamic that one expects to find in a nation that values the rule of law.

As for the idea that such movement is part of “putting an end to government weapons”, the Trump team obviously has this upside down.

However, from a political perspective, there is a possible violent reaction for all this. The president has already done A variety of unpopular movementsAnd there are some Recent surveys That suggests much of the public He opposes A Trump pointing to his perceived political enemies.

Democrats eager to go back against the abuses of the White House have many goals to consider, but it would not represent much challenge for the party to tell voters something like, “Trump said he would fight for you, but he is instead, in his place, Solve scores for yourself. “
