The information security, youth, mental acuity, and anti-lawfare administration

We have confirmation for what the text itself indicated: the Truth Social post Trump sent to Pam Bondi demanding that she maliciously prosecute James Comey was intended to be a direct message:
In his second term, President Trump has taken control of the Justice Department in ways he could have only dreamed of during his first.
Then, he publicly railed against senior department officials but largely heeded the counsel of aides who urged him to trust the legal process. This term, all it took was one errant post to get what he wanted.
On Sept. 20, Trump meant to send a private message to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey and his other favored targets, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump wrote.
Trump believed he had sent Bondi the message directly, addressing it to “Pam,” and was surprised to learn it was public, the officials said. Bondi grew upset and called White House aides and Trump, who then agreed to send a second post praising Bondi as doing a “GREAT job.”
The misfire provided a window into how, through command and chaos, Trump has executed a wholesale transformation of the Justice Department.
Five days after the Saturday evening message, Comey was indicted. When asked about the message at a congressional hearing this week, Bondi said: “I don’t think he said anything that he hasn’t said for years.”
Comey pleaded not guilty to charges of false statements and obstruction on Wednesday. His lawyer said he intends to argue the case was brought solely because of Trump’s animus toward him.
Trump became president in substantial measure because James Comey became obsessed with the idea that Hillary Clinton not wanting to use two BlackBerries was a major (if not illegal) threat to national security. And he became president again because the media was obsessed with the age and mental acuity of one and only one candidate, who was not the 2024 Democratic candidate for president.
Speaking of Comey, he’s seeking to get his charges dismissed as a malicious prosecution and ironic poetic justice aside it’s hard to see why the motion shouldn’t succeed.
