Is the Justice Department Now Just a Political Weapon? And Are We Okay With It?

Are you okay with the Department of Justice operating less like a beacon of impartial justice and more like a personal attack dog for the president? Former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah points to alarming trends: the eleventh-hour calls for investigations targeting only Democrats, a tactic seemingly designed to politically hobble opponents while conveniently distracting from darker scandals. This isn't about upholding the law; it's about wielding it as a cudgel.

We're witnessing the weaponization of our legal system, where "vindictive prosecutions" seem to be the only game in town. Add to this the President's public pronouncements and social media attacks on the Attorney General, pressuring for specific outcomes, and you have a recipe for disaster. The recent spectacle surrounding the DOJ's case against James Comey, teetering on the brink of collapse, is a glaring example of how political interference can cripple legitimate proceedings. This administration appears to believe that power-washing presidential scandals through legal maneuvering is acceptable.

Is this the America we want? An America where justice is doled out based on political affiliation and loyalty, not on evidence and law? The integrity of our courts and the impartiality of our legal system are cornerstones of our democracy. Allowing them to be subverted for political expediency is a betrayal of the very principles we hold dear. Are you okay with our Justice Department becoming just another tool in the political war chest?
