went on to note, “Mr. Kelly said he made clear to Mr. Trump that there were serious legal and ethical issues with what he wanted.” The then-president “regularly” made the demands anyway, seeking investigations against his perceived foes, leading Kelly to remind his boss what he wanted “was not just potentially illegal and immoral but also could blow back on him.”
The former chief of staff added that, in addition to Comey and McCabe, Trump discussing the IRS and the Justice Department to target former CIA Director John O. Brennan, Hillary Clinton, Jeff Bezos, and FBI officials including Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. I can appreciate why it’s easy to become jaded in response to reports like these. Americans have seen an avalanche of Trump scandals over the course of the last several years, and many of those controversies haven’t amounted to much, despite their merits.Impeachable offense
: A former White House chief of staff has now said, on the record, that a former president committed an impeachable — and possibly even criminal — offense while in office. Indeed, when Richard Nixon: Republicans were convinced that the Obama White House used the Internal Revenue Service to target political foes., though it now appears Trump committed the offense that the GOP falsely accused Obama of committing.
Similarly, after the FBI executed a court-approved search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, Republicans furiously insisted that the Biden White House had turned federal law enforcement into a partisan weapon. That’s long been ridiculous, but if Kelly’s account is correct, we now have fresh evidence of Trump trying to weaponize federal law enforcement for his own partisan purposes.: Kelly has been a private citizen for nearly four years, after having departed the White House in January 2019.
