In a dazzling eight-month pivot, President Trump went full circle on weaponizing justice, demanding prosecutions from Attorney General Pam Bondi against big names like James Comey, Adam Schiff, and Letitia James—all his self-declared 'corrupt fraudsters'—for 'OVER NOTHING' despite five indictments and two impeachments already under his belt. His Saturday Truth Social shout-out screamed 'JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!' with the urgency of a prime-time infomercial. But when U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert reportedly wouldn't play ball and resigned Friday, the pressure cooker exploded. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s bulletproof logic blamed Biden for causing offense while defending the president's 'accountability' crusade, sparking bipartisan eyerolls and warnings from Sen. Schumer about America’s unexpected express trip to dictatorship-ville.
