Weaponizing of DOJ was a hatchet job against the American people and the new Trump admin must restore trust

The first priority of the Trump administration’s new attorney general and FBI director will be to dismantle the ideological weaponization of the DOJ and FBI that has crushed the best people, forced the rest into silence and betrayed the American people. There are few better examples of how this malign machine works than the case of senior FBI Supervisory Agent Zach Schoffstall, who was forced out of the FBI after 16 years of exemplary service because he refused to go along with a trumped-up domestic-terrorism prosecution. “I brought embarrassment to the bureau.I refused to take a knee to the machine,” he says. The story begins in the small town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on June 11, 2022, where local police got a tip off that a “little army” of masked men was in a U-Haul truck en route to disrupt the annual Pride parade. They pulled the truck over and arrested 31 young men from the white nationalist group Patriot Front, dressed near-identically in navy tops, chinos and COVID masks, and carrying flagpoles and flags.
