Trump is openly directing the Justice Department to go after his political adversaries, adding to a sense of unease inside the department about job security and ethical obligations.
Even in an era of nonstop social media posts, Trump’s weekend update stopped many government attorneys in their tracks. The president said he wanted to see justice served.
“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” he wrote.
What Trump said couldn’t wait are criminal investigations of his most prominent critics: former FBI Director Jim Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff.
“I think the president’s announcement of what he wants the Justice Department to do is so out of line with our history of promoting equal justice under law and fairness that I don’t think that any federal judge is going to look at this and be happy about what the president is doing,” Saltzburg said.
Haha. Emil Bove is a federal judge now …
And according to this: https://ballotpedia.org/Federal_judicial_appointments_by_president
Between his two terms so far, Trump has appointed 232 out of the 829 active Federal judges. I think there is a decent chance that most of them would roll over if Trump asked them to.
