Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D) told fellow travelers at the Democratic National Convention Monday, “Donald Trump would be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents! He could even turn the FBI into his own personal police force!”
“That is not how it works in America,” added McMorrow.
This provocative claim — that President Donald Trump will weaponize the Department of Justice and the FBI against his political opponents — has been recycled numerous times by Democrats in recent months.
While Trump certainly has a history of suggesting in speeches that various Democratic officials should be “locked up” over their alleged improprieties, actions taken by the Biden-Harris administration have alternatively provided Americans with concrete examples of what precisely it is that Democrats fear will happen if and when the tables are turned.
