Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) stated during an appearance on MSNBC’s Deadline on Thursday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not been weaponized against President-elect Donald Trump.
Host Nicolle Wallace raised the issue, saying, “I guess the problem with that is men like Bill Barr had a hard time stopping Donald Trump’s desire to use the IRS and use the Department of Justice against Trump’s enemies. Trump was relentless in this request. Do you think that it is a prerequisite for whoever replaces Matt Gaetz that they be willing to do retribution?”
Whitehouse responded by addressing what he described as a fundamental falsehood at the center of the argument. “Can we start with the beginning big lie in all of this which is the question of whether the DOJ was weaponized? And the question of DOJ being weaponized and New York prosecutors and Georgia prosecutors being a part of a weaponization thing is simply the counter narrative to the fact of the matter that Trump is a criminal who got caught, and had to do all sorts of weaseling to get out of it and in other places was found guilty or liable.”
He went on to say that the pushback against prosecutors stems from an unwillingness to acknowledge Trump’s criminal actions. “So behind all of this is an effort to scrub out the underlying fact that the guy they are supporting, the head of this cult is in fact a criminal. And when you can’t admit that, you have to go after the prosecutors.”
Whitehouse concluded by warning about the dangers of such rhetoric. “Then you get into the cascade of rhetorical consequence that opens the door for turning the office into the actual weapon that you are pretending it was against Trump.”

No its starts that you don’t like him and he has a large “cult” gathering and is exposing the swamp and you want to stop him so you launch lawfare against him to find a crime which you can do against any politician and you don’t but you do against him like we said because you don’t like him
That’s how he ends up being a convicted felon.
Why give time and views to this trash?
If Senator Whitehouse (Democrat- R.I.) doesn’t think the DOJ was weaponized against Trump, he is blind, deaf and dumb besides being a partisan hack.
Why is Matzav publishing this trash from a 3rd rate trashy MSNBC?
Because when you quote your articles from the Washington Compost, you become like compost.
Compote?
Elon Muk is considering buying off MSNBC for cheap.
