kinda hard to gaze upon Kash Patel's "challenge coin" and not immediately think of some of history's more infamous skull shaped "challenge coins"

The Justice Department's indictment of the former FBI director appears to follow the Putin playbook: discredit the system to protect yourself. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/29/comey-indictment-subverts-trump-credibility/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #doj #fbi #jamescomey #andrewmccabe #pambondi
The indictment provided no details about evidence that prosecutors would use in a trial, & came even though career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia had found insufficient evidence to support charges.
The indictment asserts that #Comey lied when he testified to senators in 2020 that he had not authorized anyone in the FBI to leak info to the news media about a bureau investigation into an unnamed person. But it was not even clear what episode the indictment refers to.
The #DOJ would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that #Comey intentionally lied to the #Senate cmte, “not just that he got something wrong,” Robert Kelner, a lawyer at the firm Covington & Burling, who has represented the #Republican National Cmte & other Republican organizations, posted.
“What evidence do they have for that?” Kelner said, adding, “This isn’t a serious case.”

#Trump has recently said he kicked #Epstein out because he “stole” workers from him. There have also been reports that they fell out over a real estate deal. Either way, this story that Trump was some white knight who defended the honor of the women of Mar-a-Lago doesn’t hold up with his own words.

Additionally, the #Trump admin has not been transparent. The overwhelming majority of the “thousands of pages of documents” the #DOJ released on #Epstein were already mostly public information. It’s clear that these paltry excuses from Trump aren’t going to make any of this go away.

Even for a president who has shattered the traditional norms of maintaining distance from the #DOJ, #Trump’s unabashedly public & explicit orders to #PamBondi were an extraordinary breach of prosecutorial protocols that reach back to the days following the #Watergate scandal.

His demands came a day after he ousted the federal prosecutor who failed to charge 2 of the adversaries he most reviles, #LetitiaJames & #JamesComey, showing how far #Trump has gone in exerting personal control over the #DOJ & breaching the longstanding norm about keeping #politics at a distance from #LawEnforcement.

#Trump named #JamesComey, the former #FBI director; Senator #AdamSchiff, Democrat of California; & #LetitiaJames, the New York attorney general, saying he was reading about how they were “all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.”
Asked later by reporters about his message for #PamBondi, Trump said, “They have to act. They have to act fast.”

#Trump demanded on Saturday that his AG move quickly to prosecute figures he considers his enemies, the latest blow to the #DOJ’s tradition of independence.
“We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation & credibility,” Trump wrote in a social media post addressed to “Pam,” meaning US AG #PamBondi. “They impeached me twice, & indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

Apparently that wasn’t enough.
In April, the #FCC sent a a blistering letter to #Disney CEO #BobIger saying it suspected the company was so thoroughly “infected” with “invidious” practices *favoring* *minorities* that it had no choice but to open an *investigation*.
Among other questions, the probe sought to determine whether Disney had really ended policies designed to ensure characters in its shows & its hiring practices favored “underrepresented groups.”
Meanwhile, a #Disney deal struck in January to buy a stake in the streaming service #FuboTV fell under scrutiny, too, with several reports that the #DOJ was investigating possible #antitrust violations.
The #FTC also launched a probe into whether Disney broke rules by gathering #personal #data from #children watching its videos without permission from parents. Disney settled the case earlier this month by paying $10M & agreeing to change its practices.

🚨"The court granted a #DOJ request to put on hold a fed judge's order temporarily barring agents from stopping or detaining people without "reasonable suspicion" they're in the country illegally, by relying on race or ethnicity, or if they speak Spanish or English with an accent, among other factors."
Wow, GOP SCJs aren't just closet racists, they just ruled that #RacialProfiling is the law of the land.
