President Donald Trump is abusing his power to persecute political opponents, but at least one recent effort was so transparently absurd that even a major Trump supporter could not get behind it. Reporting for MS NOW on Wednesday, anchor Nicolle Wallace pointed out that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s indictment of former FBI Director James Comey is being widely mocked, even by conservatives otherwise inclined to back the president. In the indictment , Blanche claimed that Comey threatened Trump’s life because he “publicly posted a photograph on the internet social media site Instagram which depicted seashells arranged in a pattern making out ‘86 47’, which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States.” Much to Wallace’s surprise Jonathan Turley, who defended Trump against his first impeachment attempt and has repeatedly backed his controversial legal moves,...

Former FBI agent confesses he’s 'very afraid' Trump will target him for being a critic

Image
Former Assistant Special Agent in Charge with the FBI Michael Feinberg says he has no reason to feel safe that President Donald Trump won’t send his politicized Department of Justice after him with a bogus and expensive prosecution as he already has with former FBI director James Comey. “As to whether I'm worried. Yeah, of course I'm worried on a lot of levels,” Feinberg told MS NOW Anchor Nicole Wallace. “This is an administration that comes after critics, and … I'm in the position of being a critic.” Feinberg made his confession after former DOJ Pardon Attorney Elizabeth Oyer admitted publicly that she, too, feared legal persecution by the vindictive president. “On a personal note, … I'm worried for myself. I mean, I've had a security incident at my home after I left the department. That was very worrisome. And the idea that I don't know that the justice department or the FBI is a place that I could turn for help because of the people who are in charge ...

Republicans break ranks: Unified GOP denounces Trump's 'terrible' fourth bailout

Image
Semafor reports that it isn’t just a smattering of Republicans who are trashing President Donald Trump’s proposed bailout of Spirit Airlines. It’s a united front — and they’re furious. “It’s horses-——,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told Semafor of Trump’s proposal of forcing taxpayers to invest $500 million in the failing company. “My God: 10 percent stake in Intel, 5 to 10 percent stakes in three or four mining companies, ‘golden share’ of US Steel — and now a half-a-billion-dollar stake in Spirit Airlines.” Trump spent the brunt of his second term bending congressional Republicans to his will, but his iron gripe appears to stop at bailing out Spirit. Less than a week after Trump claimed his administration was “thinking about” buying a stake in the company, nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers — ranging from moderates to conservatives and from rank-and-file lawmakers to party leaders— told Semafor they either opposed or hated the plan. “This would be a really bad idea. I don’t think you wa...

WSJ conservative warns GOP to stop attacking the Secret Service

Image
Some conservatives are blaming the Secret Service for the seeming attempted assassination of President Donald Trump on Saturday — but one Wall Street Journal columnist is not having any of it. “One conservative called the Secret Service’s handling of security an ‘unmitigated failure,’” wrote The Wall Street Journal’s William McGurn on Monday , who also reported on how mainstream media outlets like The Washington Post covered the story. “Others complain about ‘lax security.’ The Washington Post reported that ‘the Trump administration provided a lower level of security for the White House correspondents’ dinner than it has for other gatherings of high-ranking officials.’ Attendees have reported being waved in to the building with barely a showing of their ticket—though the security perimeter around the ballroom held.” He added, “The second-guessing has only begun, and it’s becoming wrapped up with other issues. On his X account, Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee n...

Trump is one risky move away from a constitutional crisis: conservative think tank

Image
President Donald Trump is at risk of violating the Constitution through his Cabinet picks, a Libertarian scholar recently warned — although right now he appears to be on the right side of the law. Describing Trump’s decision to keep Todd Blanche as acting attorney general and Keith Sonderling as acting labor secretary, in lieu of Pam Bondi and Lori Chavez-DeRemer respectively, a scholar from the prestigious Cato Institute warned that the president is walking a very fine line. “Almost all vacancies in the executive branch are governed by the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) of 1998, which sets uniform rules of who can be an acting officer and how long they can serve,” Thomas A. Berry , the director of the Cato Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies and editor in chief of the Cato Supreme Court Review, wrote on Monday. “But when the FVRA was enacted, about 40 separate statutes were on the books that provided different special rules for how acting officers may...

Republicans only have themselves to blame for Trump’s unhinged reign: conservative scholar

Image
Donald Trump commands the U.S. less like a president and more like Julius Caesar, one conservative legal scholar wrote for The Atlantic , with his unhinged leadership being the result of a decades-long plot by the right that has backfired severely and threatens to fully erode Democracy. Gregg Nunziata is the executive director of the Society for the Rule of Law and previously worked as legal counsel for Senate Republicans. On Monday, he published an extensive new piece for The Atlantic, decrying Trump's new brand of "American Caesarism in nearly full bloom," emulating the rule of the Roman emperor who destroyed the republic by "claiming to speak for the people even as he disregarded laws and norms to govern by caprice ." "Despite ambitions to fundamentally change the course of the country, this administration has no real legislative agenda ," Nunziata wrote. "Instead, the president governs by executive orders, emergency decrees, and extortiona...
