1/3 Am not a David French fan, but this is must-read, on weaponization of DOJ by Trump. (No paywall.) NB: No one mentions conflicts of interest burdening Trump’s personal/criminal lawyers, *now adverse to US:* they shld be DQ’d on related matters (& so shld Trump). www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...
2/3 Here’s French 2024 piece correctly decrying Bragg prosecution of Trump: Dem partisans did no favors cheering this miscarriage (now exposed by NY appellate decision). (No paywall.) We’re all hostage to shameful law enforcement abuses/partisan prosecution arms race. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/o...
3/3 Integrity requires adding: this is why I believe US v Trump (immunities case) was correct—not to protect Trump, but to protect Obama/Biden *from Trump.* Sotomayor dissent was dubious: imagine Trump/Bondi using James/Bragg tactics on Biden? Also, applies *only* to official acts.
