The President is weaponizing the courts & pressuring prosecutors to go after his political opponents.

This isn’t about one person or indictment. It’s about whether all Americans get to live in a country with equal justice under the law.
Trump is corrupt & abusing his power. https://t.co/pLwWgkzxCI
This is what tyranny looks like.

Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his personal attack dog to go after his political enemies. pic.twitter.com/a4fzGDCI8N
Trump is weaponizing the DOJ to prosecute his perceived political enemies and it is unprecedented and flat out dangerous.

I stand with Letitia James. This administration must be held accountable.https://t.co/cjLGYlwpNL
If Trump can do this to Comey and Letitia James, he can do it to anyone. This is authoritarianism. We cannot be silent. pic.twitter.com/pU2iqgW7VI

New Yorkers know @NewYorkStateAG James for her integrity, her independence, and her relentless fight for justice.

What we're seeing today is nothing less than the weaponization of the Justice Department to punish those who hold the powerful accountable.
First, it’s James Comey. Now, it’s Letitia James. Next, it could be anybody who ever crossed Donald Trump. If any elected Republican actually gives a damn about a weaponized Justice Department, speak up now. https://t.co/CItUiXrhyh

I asked Attorney General Bondi about the Justice Department carrying out vengeance prosecutions of Trump’s political opponents.

Again and again, she refused to answer.
She's the Chief Legal Officer for the people of the United States, not the President’s personal lawyer. pic.twitter.com/bwF0QPnLEz
This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights. pic.twitter.com/X9U0EsHuGM
The President of the United States is openly seeking revenge on his political opponents.

First Jim Comey. Now Tish James. Anyone who seeks to hold Donald Trump accountable could be next.
Trump is ripping a page right out of the authoritarian handbook. https://t.co/pMpwZdH9OJ
Letitia James is a tough, fair prosecutor who worked hard to hold Donald Trump accountable for defrauding New Yorkers through his fake “charity.” Now he’s inventing charges to get political revenge.

His weaponization of the DOJ undermines the rule of law and our justice system.
