“We just got the shocking news yesterday--every single day, something happens--that once again, the President is treating the Justice Department as his own personal law firm. He has now asked for--and this might have been while the Senator from Oregon was speaking--the President has now requested $230 million back from the taxpayers of this country, off of their backs, to line his own pockets--or he says now to give to a charity of his choice. And to me, this is just another example of how he keeps considering the Justice Department as it should be--not as the people's lawyer but as his own lawyers. In fact, he has installed his own lawyers there. He has done everything from deciding to pardon George Santos and pardon his friends to prosecute his so-called enemies, including firing career prosecutors to allow him to install a White House aide to go after his enemies. And so one of my obsessions with having watched this from the Judiciary Committee is just how that can be justice. And I think it does tie in with everything else that is happening. You know, he is focusing on getting $230 million that he doesn't deserve back into his pocket, instead of helping the American people get healthcare. He is focused on helping his pals and his friends and going after his enemies, instead of doing the work for the American people that he was elected to do.”
