We've always known that Donald Trump would use the presidency to do everything possible to

bend the U.S. justice system in a way that no president before him has ever done.

He pretty much told us that on the campaign.

Every action he took while he was running, every action he's taken since he came up, that

escalator has told us that.

And since he entered office, Trump has turned the Department of Justice

upside down, completely, effectively rewriting history by punishing the prosecutors and politicians

who held them to account, or those who want to hold them to account, while rewarding the lawbreakers

I mean, we saw it with January 6th very clearly when Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of every single person who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

It's one of the first things he did.

And at the same time, in the first couple of months of his presidency, fired the prosecutors

who had brought them to justice. We've seen it with Trump's

targeting of political rivals like former President Barack Obama, Senator Adam Schiff, and dozens and

dozens of other critics. At the same time, he ends investigations into the politicians and corrupt

officials who do his bidding. And yes, I'm looking at you, Eric Adams, to name just one.

We've seen it with Trump's firing of career DOJ officials,

as he rewards his own personal defense lawyers with high-ranking positions.

I mean, is there any other way that Alina Habo would have ended with a job as a U.S. attorney?

Point is that time and time again, Trump

uses the justice system to dole out favors
