It's hard to find a more clear example of this than, you know, the mute Kevin McCarthy, who, well, the former president, I'd states stood shoulder to shoulder with Vladimir Putin, praising the Kremlin dictator.

I think that the Attorney General has an obligation to clean house to essentially understand exactly what the department was doing over the last four years. Make sure that there`s accountability for those that were engaged in political and…

the incident must be viewed in the context of the systemic politicization of the department and its mission and other flagrant abuses. The attorney general needs to do a full damage assessment of the conduct of the department over the last…

That is, I think, a terrible abuse of power. It violates, I think, the separation of powers. But it also makes the Department of Justice just a fully owned subsidiary of the president`s personal legal interests and political interests. And…

Donald J. Trump has abused the powers of his presidency. He abused his office and the public trust by using his power for personal gain, by seeking elicit foreign assistance in his reelection and covering it up.
