The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But Trump has never, ever, shown a scintilla of giving a whit (redundancy required) when it comes to licensing and excusing whatever plans he may have for politicizing justice and using it for the benefit of friends, family, and self. You can’t pin that one on Biden.

Sure you can. It gets harder to push back on those things if you've done the same thing. If you want to attack Trump politically for insulating people from criminal consequences, it gets harder if you have a big prominent example of you doing it yourself.

I am curious about one thing, though. I tend to follow politics - but I'm struggling to recall the most significant instance when Trump tried to politicize DoJ as a weapon against other people. He clearly wanted to insulate himself and others from any investigations or consequences, no doubt. He didn't want to be the subject of any DoJ activity. But what would you say is the most consequential use of DoJ - whether successful or thwarted - he tried to do to go after someone else in his first term?
