AG Probes Biden Justice Department for Influence in Trump Prosecutions
Unveiling a Stunning Investigation
In a daring move, Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey of Missouri has initiated an investigation into the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to uncover any connections to the ongoing prosecutions against former President Donald Trump. This meticulous investigation alleges coordination between the DOJ and several prosecutors targeting Trump.
Allegations of Political Influence
AG Bailey cites compelling evidence that casts doubt on the independence of these prosecutions. Specifically, he points to:
- The timing of the indictments, coinciding with Trump’s declaration of candidacy
- The apparent weakness of the charges
- The impact of the charges in effectively removing Trump from the campaign trail
These factors raise suspicions of political interference by the Biden administration to shape the 2024 presidential election.
Targets of the Investigation
Bailey’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demands all communications between the DOJ and the offices of:
- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
- New York Attorney General Letitia James
- Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis
- Special Prosecutor Jack Smith
The Manhattan Connection
Alvin Bragg
Bragg, the Manhattan DA, has been instrumental in the criminal trial against Trump, spearheading the prosecution in the N.Y. v. Trump case. Bailey alleges that Bragg’s previous collaboration with Letitia James in civil litigation against Trump and his promise to investigate Trump’s business practices once elected raise concerns of political bias.
Matthew Colangelo
The investigation also delves into the controversial move of Matthew Colangelo, the third-highest ranking DOJ official, to Bragg’s office. Bailey seeks documentation related to this transfer, questioning its motivation and potential impact on the Trump prosecution.
The Suspect Prosecutors
Letitia James
New York Attorney General Letitia James has also actively pursued civil charges against Trump. Her election campaign promises to target Trump’s business practices further heighten suspicions of political motivations.
Fani Willis
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating potential election interference by Trump in Georgia. Bailey seeks communications between the DOJ and Willis’s office to ascertain any coordination or influence.
Jack Smith
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, appointed to handle the highly sensitive investigations involving Trump, is also a target of the FOIA request. Bailey aims to uncover any connections between Smith and the DOJ that could compromise the integrity of the ongoing prosecutions.
Resistance and Scrutiny
Despite Bailey’s comprehensive FOIA request, the Department of Justice has so far declined to comment. The investigation promises intense scrutiny of the Biden administration and the independence of the justice system in high-profile political cases.
Conclusion
AG Bailey’s investigation represents a bold attempt to unravel potential political manipulations within the Biden Justice Department. The allegations of coordination raise serious concerns about the fairness and integrity of the Trump prosecutions. As the investigation progresses, the public will closely monitor the evidence and await the outcome, which could have significant implications for American politics and the rule of law.
