This week’s bombshell: the DOJ, under Trump’s direction, indicted James Comey—a former FBI director long critical of Trump—for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing oversight. To get it done, Trump purged the existing U.S. Attorney in Virginia and elevated Lindsey Halligan, a political operative turned prosecutor overnight. Within minutes of the indictment, Comey’s son-in-law—then serving as a national security prosecutor in the same office—resigned, citing his oath to the Constitution. Trump publicly celebrated the move, said “justice in America” is being served, and warned that Comey may not be the last enemy prosecuted. In this episode, Rick examines how this unprecedented case exposes the DOJ's transformation into a political weapon, the Hill backlash, and the chilling implications for the rule of law.
