Extortion at the highest level… those are the President's words today, and for once somebody in that building is saying it plainly instead of hiding behind a press release and a room full of lawyers.
Let me explain what happened. Days after Democrats took the House and the Senate, Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats threatening his officials and donors with impeachment, imprisonment and every other punishment they can dream up, and he put Senator Elissa Slotkin's name right on it. Slotkin went out in October and talked about going after the people who enabled Trump, and the message was aimed straight at young Republicans… the kids thinking about serving in this administration, the staffers, the people who are not famous and do not have a war chest for legal fees.
Think about that for a second. A sitting United States Senator telling a 26 year old staffer that if you go to work for the President the American people elected, we will come for you when we get the gavel. What do you call that? Because I call it a threat, and I have watched exactly how this works… Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, the alternate electors, the lawyers, the volunteers, people bankrupted and dragged through courtrooms so the next person thinks twice before standing up. Scare the help, starve the bench of good people, and then go on TV and lecture everybody about norms.
And yet the same media that spent four years cheering for lawfare is already crying that Trump is trying to criminalize oversight. Oversight? You mean telling young Americans their lives will be ruined for taking a job serving their country? Come on. It is a stacked deck, and they know it.
Here is the reality. The Democrats just took Congress and the first thing out of their mouths is not lower gas prices or a secure border, it is subpoenas, impeachments, and threats meant to scare people out of public service. They are not serious people. They are not honorable people. They only know power and how to use it on the little guy who cannot fight back.
So good. Investigate it. Every word, every threat, every staffer and donor who was told to back off or else, and make them answer under oath the same way they made everyone else answer.
President Trump do not let anyone at DOJ slow walk this one. Protect the young people who said yes to serving this country, and put Slotkin on the record about her threats.
