A source claims that President Donald Trump allegedly sent a private message intended for Attorney General Pam Bondi as a post to Truth Social, NBC News reported. The Sept. 20 post listed the people Trump wishes to pursue with legal action, including former FBI Director James Comey, California Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Trump's response to the news that he accidentally sent the message as a Truth Social post was to utter an indifferent, "Oh." Those listed in the post purportedly intended for Bondi include those who wronged Trump and went after him with legal action, especially James, who attempted to bankrupt him with a ridiculously punitive judgment.
The president said they were all "guilty as hell" and that he was frustrated that there was no movement to bring them to justice. Regardless of all the handwringing and pearl-clutching from the mainstream media, Trump has a right to urge his attorney general to pursue legitimate criminal activity from these people.
Comey and James have already been indicted, while Schiff is currently under investigation for mortgage fraud. Whether Trump urged Bondi to pursue them or not, the real issue is whether there is enough evidence to go on, and it looks like he might have been right after all.
Regardless of how it is characterized and whether it was supposed to be a private message, Trump does not say anything inappropriate. "Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, 'same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam 'Shifty' Schiff, Leticia???" Trump wrote.
"They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.' Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job," Trump went on, referring to Erik Siebert, whom Trump fired for failing to pursue James.
"That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many lawyers, and legal pundits, say so," the president explained.
"Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT" Trump concluded.
Trump is correct that he was subject to many fabricated or inflated charges from these same people who had skeletons in their closet all along. James's attorney, Abbey Lowell, claims that her client is subject to Trump's "desire for revenge" in this prosecution while ingnoring the fact that there might be a legitimate reason to pursue legal action.
"When a president can publicly direct charges to be filed against someone — when it was reported that career attorneys concluded none were warranted — it marks a serious attack on the rule of law," Lowell said. That doesn't explain away the allegations that seem well-founded against James, considering that a federal grand jury indicted her on charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution on Thursday, Fox News reported.
She can call this a political prosecution, but the fact is that the grand jury thought there was enough evidence to proceed and, as James herself said, it's necessary to do so in such cases. "When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people," James posted to X, formerly Twitter, when she was going after Trump in February 2024.
"Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them. There simply cannot be different rules for different people," James said.
Trump is right to go after these people who act like they're above the law. Whether he urged Bondi to do it or was simply making a social media post, the fact remains that these people are getting their just desserts.
