Summary

This week’s bombshell: the DOJ, under Trump’s direction, indicted James Comey—a former FBI director long critical of Trump—for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing oversight. To get it done, Trump purged the existing U.S. Attorney in Virginia and elevated Lindsey Halligan, a political operative turned prosecutor overnight. Within minutes of the indictment, Comey’s son-in-law—then serving as a national security prosecutor in the same office—resigned, citing his oath to the Constitution. Trump publicly celebrated the move, said “justice in America” is being served, and warned that Comey may not be the last enemy prosecuted. In this episode, Rick examines how this unprecedented case exposes the DOJ's transformation into a political weapon, the Hill backlash, and the chilling implications for the rule of law.

0:47.1	Thank you for joining me today here on Lincoln Square to look at a person or actually an institution for once on the enemies list, not just a person.
0:55.5	The person, of course, it all trickles down from the top of the fecal mountain that is Donald Trump.
0:59.8	On today's enemies list is the Department of Justice.
1:02.2	It shouldn't be, but it is.
1:03.8	For 235 years, the Department of Justice was largely apolitical, largely dedicated to the key word in its
1:13.8	statement, justice, dedicated to enforcing the law, dedicating to protecting Americans from
1:18.3	threats to their liberties. But on Thursday, as all of you are very well aware by now, a woman
1:23.3	named Lindsay Halligan, who is now the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia,
1:27.4	indicted James Comey. Donald Trump has been screaming bloody murder for months to his DOJ, publicly and
1:32.9	privately, that he wants indictments, he wants punishment. He wants Letitia James and Jim Comey and John
1:38.6	Brennan and a whole bunch of other people to be charged, to be prosecuted, to be incarcerated.
1:43.3	Comey is the first big fish.
1:44.6	While the case, from speaking to two attorneys before I recorded this, while the case against
1:49.9	Comey is ludicrously insufficient.
