And they're just the crooks to do it. Weaponizing the justice department much?Trump allies, led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), have threatened to cut Department of Justice and FBI funding if those federal law enforcement agencies target Trump.
The Hill
Ha! No doubt.“What I’d really like, frankly, I’d really like for the government to just stay out of the election process.”
Until you want them for your own purposes.Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), a Trump ally, has called on Congress to reform the FBI in “a major way.”
“Maybe we need to break them up,” he said.
Anybody remember Bill Barr?Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a fellow member of the Judiciary Committee, on Monday called Garland the most “political” attorney general in U.S. history.
Why would he hate Trump for that? That was Mitch McConnell's doing. No need to be logical for MAGA."He wants to indict Donald Trump because he hates Donald Trump.”
Cruz accused the attorney general of carrying a grudge over getting blocked from getting confirmed to the Supreme Court in 2016, when then-President Obama nominated him to fill the seat held by late Justice Antonin Scalia.
They would make sure it is. The two cases are not remotely the same.Hawley said if federal prosecutors charge Trump for his handling of classified documents while not charging Biden for sensitive documents he kept in his personal possession after leaving the Obama administration, it “would be a big mistake on this administration’s part.”
“The political outcry on that, and rightly so, would be huge,” he warned.
And just what are you going to do about it?“We could zero out Merrick’s [Garland] salary.”
“Maybe we start there,” [Hawley] said.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told The Hill on Wednesday he would wait to see whether the Justice Department moves ahead with an indictment before deciding the next steps.
“Call me when that happens,” he said.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
