Trump Speaks to Justice Department - About Justice

Of all the messes Donald Trump inherited from the barely-conscious Joe Biden, one of the biggest may have been the Department of Justice. Well, with some key appointments in some top spots, President Trump has set about fixing some of that, and better yet, counting on his appointees to fix the rest.

On Friday, he also became the first president to address the Justice Department in their headquarters in some time. And he made some spicy remarks about the previous administration.

🚨 Donald Trump is holding NOTHING BACK against the regime that tried to take him down!

"We must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls."

The president said in part:

But first we must be honest about the list and abuses that have occurred within these walls. Unfortunately, in recent years a corrupt group and packs of radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust and goodwill built up over generations. They weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people.

He is speaking, of course, of not only the Biden administration but the Obama administration before that; he is speaking of the Russia collusion fraud, and he goes on to describe even more egregious acts:

You remember the 51 intelligence agents that said, as an example, that Hunter Biden's laptop from hell came from Russia when they knew it came right from his bedroom. They knew that it was a big lie, and they knew it so well. They spied on my campaign, launched one hoax and disinformation operation after another, broke the law on a colossal scale, persecuted my family, staff and supporters, raided my home, Mar-A-Lago, and did everything within their power to prevent me from becoming the president of the United States.

But they failed. And the effort went far beyond the things President Trump describes here; two lunatics even tried to kill him. Instead, they probably guaranteed him the election. And he sure looks to be making the most of it.

They tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and third world country, but in the end, the thugs failed and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, democracy won, and above all, the American people won.

That's sure what it looks like from here, especially when you consider the alternatives. With President Trump's victory, as I've written many times, we didn't just dodge a bullet, although President Trump did exactly that. We, the American people, dodged the entire ammunition factory.

There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked, and that's what they were doing at a level that's never been seen before. And it's exactly what you saw with Joe Biden, Merrick Garland and their cronies to do the building of the last four years.

There's a lot more that's going to have to be done. While we are fortunate that at least Merrick Garland is never going to sit on the Supreme Court, he and his fellow-travelers are still out there, and someday, hopefully not for a few more cycles but someday, there will be another Democratic president. The solutions to these lawfare harassment games have to be set in stone. That will require not only the president, not only the cabinet, not only the department heads, but the Congress as well.

Most of all, it's going to require all of us. In 2026, the midterms will be upon us, and that time is going to come sooner than we think. Every vote will be critical, or all of these efforts will hit a big wall. Every seat in the House and Senate will be critical. First, as the saying goes, we have to win.

Now, President Trump has the world's greatest bully pulpit, and he has put a team together. Hopefully, this team will be able to address the worst of all this, but the swamp is vast, and its pits of mire are deep. This mess took generations to put in place, and it will take generations to clean it up. But at least it's starting now.
