Trump degenerates the remuneration campaign with the demand that Microsoft draws the former deputy general prosecutor Lisa Monaco

A few days after Trump publicly demanded measures from his Attorney General and hit his former personal lawyer to serve as a main federal prosecutor in Virginia, the former FBI director, James Comey, a long -standing target of Trump’s anger, was charged by a great jury to have allegedly monthly at the Congress during the testimony in 2020.

A few hours earlier Thursday, Trump signed a memorandum leading his republican administration to target donors of what they nicknamed “left terrorism” as he allegedly aligned with a vast conspiracy of non -profit groups and militants aligned by Democrat to finance violent protests.

The developments have marked a spectacular escalation of extraordinary use by the president of the levers of the presidential power to target his political rivals and his efforts to put pressure on the Ministry of Justice to continue the investigations – and now the prosecution – of those he disdained. It is a campaign that started shortly after Trump’s return and that criticism considers an abuse of power that puts all the Americans who dare to criticize the president in danger.

“Donald Trump clearly indicated that he intended to transform our judicial system into a weapon to punish and silence his detractors,” said Senator Mark Warner in Virginia, the best democrat of the Senate intelligence committee. Comey’s accusation act has occurred less than a week after Trump installed a former White House assistant and a confidant to the role of the American lawyer in the Virginia Oriental District. The president had forced the eviction of his previous choice because he was not sensitive enough to Trump’s calls to bring charges against his longtime targets.

“This type of interference is a dangerous abuse of power,” said Warner. “Our system depends on prosecutors who make decisions based on evidence and law, and not on the personal rands of a politician determined to settle the scores.”

An escalation in remuneration

The first former president found guilty of a crime – so that falsification of commercial files hides silent money payments to hide an alleged affair – Trump won the White House despite a host of other legal problems on his alleged retailement of classified information after leaving the White House in 2021 and his role in the denial of Stoking of his defeat in 2020.

Thursday’s movements were the last of Trump’s concerted effort to handle the vast powers of his office unmatched for punishing his enemies since returning to the Oval Office in January. During his campaign, Trump clearly said that it was his intention if he had returned to the post.

“In 2016, I said: I am your voice,” he said in 2023. “Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been injured and betrayed, I am your punishment.”

Earlier this week, he signed an order designating a decentralized movement known as antifa – abbreviation of “anti -fascists” – as a domestic terrorist organization, a move testing large protections of the first amendment enjoyed by organizations operating in the United States.

Thursday’s memo went further, targeting the groups and liberal donors, and “represents an important abuse of being able when the government modifies the law or flexion of definitions to try to investigate and punish their political adversaries in a manner which is really unprecedented to combat the armament of Caitlin Legacki against the federal government against its political government.

As for Comey, she said: “He starts selective prosecution again, she starts the vindictive targeting again and calls into question the integrity of many accusations brought by the office.”

Trump, on the other hand, denied on Friday that he was on a reprisal campaign.

“It is a matter of justice, really. It is not a revenge, it is a question of justice. It is also the fact that you cannot let this continue,” he told journalists. “They are sick, radical have left people and they cannot get away with it.”

Asked who is the next on his list, he replied: “It is not a list, but I think there will be others.”

A generalized pressure campaign

Beyond Comey, Trump also put pressure on the prosecutors to carry charges of mortgage fraud against the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, who carried a matter of massive civil fraud against the president. The Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed a special prosecutor last month to investigate the allegations of mortgage fraud against James and the American Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of California, another goal of Trump. The two denied the reprehensible acts.

The Ministry of Justice also began to examine the allegations of mortgage fraud against Lisa Cook, the governor of the federal reserve which won success in the lower courts to challenge Trump’s efforts to withdraw it from his work in a decision which, according to her, is designed to erode the independence of the Central Bank. Trump appealed to the Supreme Court to allow him to avoid him.

Trump called Microsoft on Friday to dismiss the former deputy prosecutor Lisa Monaco, against whom he long held a resentment, from his post as president of world affairs.

“Monaco has this kind of access is unacceptable and cannot be allowed to stand up,” he wrote. Trump previously removed it from his security authorization, as well as many others.

He also stripped the protection of secret services against a multitude of former civil servants, including his democratic rival in 2024, Kamala Harris, family members of former president Joe Biden, and people who fell in favor, including his national security advisor John Bolton and his former secretary of state Mike Pompeo.

Trump also targeted major institutions, revoking security authorizations for law firms from law firms which he disadvantaged, drawing billions of dollars from federal research funds from elite universities and obtaining dollars’ regulations against media organizations in prosecution that have been largely considered to be low cases.

Earlier this week, he threatened ABC for the network’s decision to allow the end of evening host Jimmy Kimmel to return to the airwaves.

“I think we are going to test ABC on this subject. Let us see how we do it. The last time I proceeded to them, they gave me $ 16 million. It seems even more lucrative,” sang Trump.

And his administration dismissed or reassured federal employees for their previous work, including prosecutors who worked on business against him. The Ministry of Justice also dismissed Comey’s daughter, Maurene Comey, of her prosecutor’s work in the South New York district. She has since been prosecuted, saying that the dismissal was politically motivated.

Trump celebrates the indictment

Trump, on the other hand, applauded Comey’s indictment, saying “Justice in America!” had been served, even though Comey denied reprehensible acts and expressed his confidence in the trial.

The indictment was the culmination of a pressure campaign that burst into the public during the weekend when Trump broadcast his frustrations with Bondi on his social media site and demanded that she are advancing with charges against Comey, James and Schiff.

“We can no longer delay, it kills our reputation and our credibility,” he wrote on Truth Social Saturday. “Justice must be done now !!!” He said that he would name Lindsey Halligan, his former personal lawyer and assistant to the White House, to serve as an American lawyer for the Oriental District of Virginia to accelerate the pace after the ouster of chief prosecutor Erik Siebert, who resigned under pressure to bring charges against James.

The accusations against Comey came while the prosecutors of the office had written a memo detailing the concerns concerning the continuation of an indictment and their probability of success in the trial.

The former FBI director said in a video that he was innocent but knew that “resisting Donald Trump” would come with costs.

“My heart is broken for the Ministry of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I am innocent,” said Comey.
