Trump extends its dangerous cult of impunity

Other public persons registered in the public corruption wells sought to flow to Trump. Bob Menendez, former American senator from New Jersey, was sentenced to 11 years in prison last month for his role in a foreign bribery scheme. Although Menendez has been a democrat for a long time, he sang a different song after conviction and it was complained that the Biden Department of Justice was concerned. “President Trump was right,” he claimed. “This process is political and is corrupted by the nucleus. I hope President Trump will clean Cesspool and restore the integrity of the system. “

This prosecutor power can be used as a sword, as well as as a shield. Shortly after taking over the position, Trump called Ed Martin, a lawyer who was on Chapter Hill on January 6, as an American lawyer for the Colombia district. Martin spent the last five weeks, carrying the Federal Prosecutor’s Office of Trump’s perceived enemies and increasing an extremely publicized effort To discourage the critics of Trump and the South -African billionaire Elon Musk, who bears a vague but significant influence in the administration.

During a home hearing on the so-called Department of government efficiency earlier this month, for example, California representative, Robert Garcia suddenly criticized Musk’s actions and urged his parliamentarians to push themselves against them. “What the American public wants is for us to bring real weapons to this fight with the bar,” he said, according to The Washington Post. “This is a real struggle for democracy.” For his part, Martin sent a letter to Garcia claiming that those metaphorical observations “sounds like a threat to Mr. Musk” and urging him to “clarify” his comments. It would be difficult to take Martin’s letter like anything but an attempt to intimidate Democratic MPs.
