Trump Increases Repression Against Political Enemies and the Left
[]
International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine
President Donald Trump, breaking with U.S. norms, is using the Justice Department to pursue his political enemies, going after liberal and progressive foundations and NGOs, and sending more troops to another American city to intimidate protestors.
He has fired Justice Department attorneys who are unwilling to put his orders above the law and replaced them with flunkeys who will carry out his demands.
Comey’s investigation did not find evidence of Trump colluding with Russia, but left his possible obstruction of justice an open question.
Trump fired Comey in 2017, but has been out to get him ever since.
The Justice Department is also going after George Soros, a billionaire donor to the Democratic Party who also funds the Open Society Foundations (OSF).
