On Wednesday afternoon, we learned that President Trump’s Department of Justice has begun investigating former FBI director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan. As The New York Timesreported, Trump’s Secret Service had Comey “followed by law enforcement authorities in unmarked cars and street clothes and tracked the location of his cellphone the day after he posted an image on social media in May that President Trump’s allies said amounted to a threat to assassinate the president.”
I can’t say I’m surprised. And, honestly, you shouldn’t be either.
One of the lessons Donald Trump clearly took from his first term was that the Department of Justice didn’t always do his bidding. And he very much wanted it to.
