Will Chairman Comer Finally Investigate or Continue Providing Cover?
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In his latest abuse of power, Donald Trump’s Department of Justice today sent FBI agents to raid the home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton, a sharp critic of the administration. This brazen targeting of a political opponent comes just days after Trump publicly attacked Bolton on social media, calling him “stupid” in a predictably juvenile tirade.
FBI Director Kash Patel’s tweet declaring “NO ONE is above the law” rings hollow when the Trump administration continues its reckless power grab with impunity. As Trump calls for military deployment in American cities and systematically targets critics, Republican members of Congress remain conspicuously silent, rubber-stamping his agenda and priorities, and abandoning their constitutional oversight duties while this lawless administration runs roughshod over basic freedoms.
In response to Trump’s DOJ targeting political opponents while congressional Republicans remain silent, the Congressional Integrity Project released the following statement:
“Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department against his critics in the next phase of his authoritarian power grab. While he evades accountability for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, rigs maps to salvage his failed agenda, deploys troops to American streets, and threatens to militarize American cities, Chairman Comer wastes precious time and taxpayer dollars on pointless witch hunts against former government officials. When will he do his actual job and investigate this administration’s serious abuses of power instead of providing cover for Trump’s assault on democracy?”
