Notice how all of those who claimed Biden was "weaponizing" the doj are silent over actual weaponization of the DOJ.

Project25 et al accuses Biden of weaponizing the DoJ so THEY can weaponize the DoJ... with an Actual Criminal in the WH:

"The debate has moved beyond rhetoric into official policy actions. Following the return of the Trump administration, leadership at the DOJ, including Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has used findings from internal reviews to implement sweeping changes.

While the administration frames these moves as restoring integrity to the prosecutorial system, critics continue to view them as the realization of Project 2025's blueprint to align federal law enforcement with partisan objectives."

"DOJ's First Weaponization' Report Is a Bust

But the Weaponization Working Group has discovered very little "weaponization" at all.

And whatever sins it does describe"both real and imagined"may serve as justification for perpetrating the very thing it decries.

The weaponization report takes the form of a classic Trump two-step: First, claim that normal law-enforcement work, when directed against you oryour friends, is illegitimate; then, use that supposed illegitimacy as justification for your own revenge

This is justice according only to the playground principle of "I'm rubber; you're glue."

The only ones who can get away with calling Lil' Donnie names are those like "Heil" Musk, who give him Millions in Bribes and profit Billions off of that in preferential Gov Contracts and Enormous Tax Cuts.

This last one only cost the American people a LOT of money... and some African nations several Million deaths due to starvation and disease, most of whom were children.

Thanks, Trumpers!

U.S. Lawmakers Warn Banks Against Trump's Russian Diesel Deal
oilprice.com

... A bipartisan group of US lawmakers has warned American banks, port authorities, and fuel-industry groups against facilitating imports of Russian diesel, raising the prospect of congressional investigations and legal action over President Donald Trump's decision to ease restrictions on Russian fuel.

In letters sent to the chief executives of major US banks and the heads of several port authorities, the lawmakers warned that importing Russian diesel could violate federal law and expose companies to civil and criminal liability.

They also said the imports would raise national-security concerns by providing Moscow with revenue to help finance its war against Ukraine.

The intervention comes after Trump recently announced an arrangement with Russian President Vladimir Putin under which Moscow would supply hundreds of thousands of metric tons of diesel to the United States, with additional shipments planned in the coming months. The US Treasury Department subsequently issued General License 135, granting a six-month exemption from certain sanctions restrictions.

The letters signal a potential new front in the political and legal battle over the administration's Russia policy. Democrats could gain significant investigative powers if they regain control of one or both chambers of Congress in the November midterm elections.

"Any importation of Russian diesel into the US raises significant legal questions and may be subject to legal action, as well as congressional investigations," the lawmakers wrote. ...

... "There's not some tranche of super-secret documents about Jeffrey Epstein that we're withholding, we're actually not withholding anything based upon [national defense information]," said Blanche, who was deputy attorney general at the time.

But the contents of at least three documents in the massive tranche of files indicate classified information was included in files collected by the DOJ.

One of the documents shows Blanche's Office of the Deputy Attorney General itself received classified material related to Epstein in March 2025. By law, material can only be classified for national security purposes.

What exactly was classified and why remains a mystery. ...

Clues about classified material

Included among the Epstein files is an eight-page timeline of the FBI's New York office's initial efforts last year to track down and deliver its voluminous files to the Justice Department's Washington headquarters.

On March 25, 2025, one document shows delivery of "16 Epstein items to ODAG," referring to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General. Among them, items No. 2 and No. 6 are described as "Epstein Transparency Project - Classified Material" and "CDs with classified materials (x2)."

The Epstein Transparency Project refers to the Justice Department's effort to review the files and redact, withhold or clear them for release. It is not clear what exactly was identified as classified. Each CD was likely capable of holding hundreds of megabytes of material. ...
