Trump’s politically motivated prosecutions keep crumbling
The president's grand legal strategy targeting his perceived enemies isn't working

(Salon) President Donald Trump will not let his enemies go without a fight. He wants to punish those who speak out against him, who present cases against him and who, in doing their jobs to the letter of the law, go against his wishes. To an objective observer, they are perceived enemies. To him, they are as real as the “crimes” they commit against him.

But Trump’s interim U.S. attorneys are failing one by one. Alina Habba, his embattled top attorney for New Jersey, resigned on Monday. A former lawyer for Trump, she was found to be illegally serving in her interim role after continuing past her 120-day mark. Since Congress never approved her, New Jersey’s Democratic senators axed her outright. After losing her appeal, she finally resigned on Dec. 8 to “protect the stability and integrity” of the position, a rare public defeat for the Trump administration.

Comey is likely to face follow-up strikes from the Trump administration. While a new indictment against him has yet to materialize, he may face charges similar to obstruction of justice and lying to Congress.

James was ready to face a new indictment surrounding alleged mortgage fraud. But on Dec. 4, a grand jury declined to indict her. The Justice Department then attempted to indict her for a third time — and the second time in one week — but they failed again.

The Justice Department has no clear prosecutor. Instead, it has questionable cases, indictments made possible only by manipulation that have drawn the ire of federal judges and cast what Trump wanted to be a highly-publicized case of political revenge into a fly-by-night legal circus. This is to say nothing of a lawsuit from a close friend and former lawyer of Comey that could bring it all to a grinding halt. ...................(more)
