Taken together, the statements signal that Trump’s admin is likely to follow the playbook his first admin used after #Democrats took the #House in 2019. Then, #Trump vowed to fight “all” subpoenas, his admin routinely refused to comply & the disputes ended up in court.
But the threat of #criminal investigations goes even further than the stance he took in his first term. It indicates how far Trump is willing to push the #DOJ to try to protect…[himself]…from legislative investigations.

Maurene Comey to the witness table will be must watch tv.
As the lead prosecutor in the Jefferey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases she is the last person in the US attorney's office that the Pedophile Protectors want to see testify about the Epstein-Maxwell matter.
She knows who and what's in the #Epsteinfiles .
The #DOJ threat to investigate #Slotkin for speech should be a winning credential should she aim for #Senate majority leader. I also think #VanHollen traveling to El Salvador to counteract the criminal deportation (#Trump, #Miller, #Noem, et al) of Abrego Garcia should make him a serious contender. #Schumer, move on. Let someone else have a chance. Many others (#Ossoff? Warren?) can do the job you have occupied for a long while. Leave gracefully. It’s time.

Justice Department’s interference before midterms was unsuccessful, unprofessional and unprecedented https://theconversation.com/justice-departments-interference-before-midterms-was-unsuccessful-unprofessional-and-unprecedented-295622 @TheConversationUS
To reveal an investigation – or investigations, as they’ve done in several cases now – means that some will take that as meaning there has been criminal misconduct when that obviously may not be the case at all. This is a further weaponization of the Department of Justice...

The official #DOJ policy:
“I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you.”
George Conway interviews former federal prosecutor Mark Blumberg, now heading up the volunteer Rule of Law Project. The project was created by former DOJ prosecutors, attorneys, and agents who want to do as much prep work as possible for future prosecutions against Trump administration personnel who are breaking laws (and who, presumably, won't be pardoned before a law-abiding President is sworn into office).
Blumberg estimates that restoring full functionality to the Department of Justice is at least 4 years away (and that assumes a good President is sworn into office on January 20, 2029).
