The Trump administration, under the restored president, has enacted numerous executive orders that freeze hiring, cut science funding, and provoke diplomatic issues. Notably, the firing of Justice Department prosecutors involved in significant investigations into Trump reveals a drastic shift in the application of justice and further consolidates Trump's power. Such actions suggest not only a distraction for his base but also a move to eliminate any perceived threats to his agenda, indicating a troubling transformation of the constitutional order.
In a letter informing the attorneys of their termination, McHenry wrote that their involvement in the cases was the impetus for their firing. Given your significant role in prosecuting the president, McHenry wrote, I do not believe that the leadership of the department can trust you to assist in implementing the president's agenda faithfully.
Many of these moves are stunts and distractions, meant to appease Trump's base of aggrieved culture warriors. Others are meant to further Trump's personal power.
