‘Scum,’ ‘crooked’ elections and ‘corrupt’ media. What Trump said inside the Justice Department
Associated Press ^ | March 14, 2025 | NICHOLAS RICCARDI

Posted on 03/14/2025 7:30:07 PM PDT by Robwin

President Donald Trump delivered what sounded like one of his typical meandering, grievance-laden campaign speeches on Friday, but it was where he did it — inside the U.S. Department of Justice — that mattered.

The appearance marked Trump’s clearest exertion yet of personal control over the country’s federal law enforcement apparatus, which is normally run by appointees who keep at least an arm’s length from the president to avoid the appearance that politics are governing prosecutorial decisions. Trump, instead, embraced the notion of the agency as his own personal tool of vengeance.

This is not inidicated as an opinion piece, but as a straight political news report. It is just dripping with bias and venom typical of what is called our legacy media or MSM.

Gawd, how I despise these people.

I am all for Trump prosecuting his tormentors. Let them feel the wrath they have inflicted on so many.

Right or wrong, Trump speaks from the heart.

I like this. A lot. The apes from the AP don't get the joke at all. They are from Mars, and don't know it.

When it's this crazy, the interplanetaries out themselves in front of the world, and have no idea they are tossing a grenade into their own bathroom during shower time. I wouldn't want to be in marketing for them. It's going to get REEEAL quiet.

Was AG Bondi sleeping in the back? If there were ratings thus far of cabinet pics, Secretary Rubio A and the opposite end AG Bondi a generous D. Director Patel C-. I’m not being harsh on the DOJ and FBI but the President has every right to expect justice and making things right especially everything that has happened since 2016.

This Ass Press “reporter” should read the constitution. The president has complete control of the executive branch. Appointees are not mentioned.

"personal control"

Unelected judges have over 100 times now made their attempts at drawing unto themselves control over what the Executive Branch ought to do.

We should have expected the MSM would also try to get into the act, criticizing PDJT as if he's stepped out of the lane of being the single, elected embodiment of executive authority.

Ever the psychologists pretending to be able to get into PDJT's mind, they ascribe motives such as vengeance. Sorry. Clairvoyance is clearly a skill you don't have. Yet, PDJT can and should legitimately counter people whose unauthorized actions have all the earmarks of trying to achieve partisan political goals. Take Judge Marchand's courtroom, for example, through which his daughter has raked in millions.

Still, the author can't voice a valid critique of an action the was not legitimately within PDJT's authority to take.

AP is owned by USAID.

That’s about all you need to know.

Mostly if I see it’s from AP I stay as far away as possible, for my own health. I have a visceral allergic reaction to lies.

“As the chief law enforcement officer in our country, I will insist upon and demand full and complete accountability for the wrongs and abuses that have occurred,” Trump told the audience, with Attorney General Pam Bondi“ As the chief law enforcement officer in our country, I will insist upon and demand full and complete accountability for the wrongs and abuses that have occurred,” Trump told the audience, with Attorney General Pam Bondi”

Ultimately as executive he is the chief LEO.
It’s good that he has stated in no uncertain terms that he’s running things.
So biased that AP contradicts his assertion.

Do these people have any self reflection? That's what Biden and the Democrats did in their lawfare against Trump!

They never used this line about Biden or Obama. “instead, embraced the notion of the agency as his own personal tool of vengeance.”

The citizens get more information from one of President Trump's "...typical meandering, grievance-laden campaign speeches...",, than they ever got under 4 years of the Biden reign.

No arrests. Trump II looks like a reboot of Trump I. Well, Pami does get to do makeup so there is that.
