- >>@briantylercohen: Because [Gavin Newsom] poses a threat to Trump and his movement, now the White House needs to use the tools available to it to go after him.
00:00 - >>@PeterHamby: We know, from lots of evidence, that Trump’s Justice Department likes to go after political enemies whether there are merits to these cases or not…we know Trump tells the Justice Department to go after people he doesn’t like.
00:00 - >>@harrylitman: You have these investigations that seem to have been triggered pretty recently … around the time that Todd Blanche was appointed acting Attorney General. You don't undertake investigations of subjects of this prominence without clearing it with Main Justice back
00:00 - PAULA REID: Todd Blanche is not going to be able to escape questions in a few weeks when he is expected to face a contentious confirmation hearing where one of the biggest issues is going to be how the Justice Department has been used to pursue the president’s advisories
00:00 - >>@AdamKinzinger: It's hard not to see the pattern here …. when a president spends years demanding his rivals be jailed and the cases keep arriving right on cue, the burden is on him to prove that this is about the law and not a vendetta.

00:00- >>@SteveSchmidtSES: We all know precisely what this is. It's more revenge, more retribution. Donald Trump over and over again is using the awesome power of the federal government to abuse free people who oppose him.
00:00 - >>@SenAlexPadilla: Gavin Newsom is the next person in a long line of the Trump administration weaponizing the Department of Justice to go after his perceived political enemies.
00:00 - NEW LETTER TO ACTING AG TODD BLANCHE: Since the beginning of this Administration, President Donald Trump has directed US DOJ to engage in a campaign of political retribution against his perceived enemies. Calling this investigation a fishing expedition is actually too

Trump ran on “ending the weaponization of government” yet has repeatedly used his DOJ as his own weapon to investigate his political opponents for crimes that don’t exist. He’s more focused on his personal vendettas than on the well-being of the American people.Newsom says DOJ is investigating him. - Governor Newsom Press Office reposted
It is absolutely outrageous that the Department of Justice is now targeting California Governor Gavin Newsom. But it should come as no surprise that the guy who calls Putin and Erdogan his besties is using their authoritarian playbooks. Trump is a fascist. Plain and simple. - Governor Newsom Press Office reposted
Governor Newsom is the latest example of Donald Trump's ongoing efforts to weaponize the Department of Justice against his perceived enemies. It is a travesty that the president continues to weaponize the DOJ and undermine public confidence in our justice system.
