He has removed secret service protection for Bolton, Pompeo & Fauci; all of whom have had credible threats against them. He is threatening to withhold aid for the CA wildfires unless there is an agreement to lift the debt limit. IMO - DJT revenge politics is his playbook.

Do you know of any examples of Trump weaponizing the DOJ?

HereтАЩs an article describing a number of times he tried to weaponize DOJ. He might not have been successful, but not for lack of trying.

We will see what happens with a more malleable DOJ.

Thank you for finding that and sharing it. I would love if Sharon would do a deep dive on how current and former Presidents have weaponized the DOJ.

I can see how that looks like revenge politics.
