What actual lawfare looks like
By 
Trump issued a public demand to prosecute his enemies for inveted charges in a social media post that reads like it was intended as a DM:
President Trump all but ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political foes, in a series of weekend posts that questioned the lack of action and named one of his former personal attorneys as a new prosecutor to helm some of the investigations.
“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump wrote in a social-media post, addressed to “Pam,” that called for cases against several of his adversaries: New York Attorney General Letitia James, former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey and Sen. Adam Schiff.
Trump continued: “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”
Trump’s demand came after he ousted a top federal prosecutor in Virginia who was pressured to bring criminal charges against James and Comey but hadn’t done so.
Later on Saturday night, Trump in a gaggle with reporters said, “I just want people to act. They have to act. And we want to act fast.”
The series of comments were Trump’s most explicit demand to date that Bondi target his enemies and showed how far he has gone in asserting control over the Justice Department’s traditionally independent decision-making in criminal investigations.
“There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization,” Schiff (D., Calif.) wrote on X. “It’s all out in the open.”
Lawyers for James and Comey didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Former federal prosecutor Jonathan Kravis said Trump’s stance was fundamentally at odds with the mission of the Justice Department, which “is supposed to be investigating and prosecuting federal crimes based on where the facts and the law take them, not based on the political preferences or the score-settling proclivities of the president. This is a core component of what we mean when we talk about the rule of law.”
But see Merrick Garland had to slow-walk everything because otherwise he would have created a precedent that could be exploited by the Trump administration, which would otherwise not be able to act for reasons somehow nobody has ever been able to articulate.
