Trump Is Having Trouble Prosecuting His Enemies
Briefly

Donald Trump, during his first term, complained about the Justice Department's independence, wishing for more control over investigations like that of Hillary Clinton. On his return to presidency, he filled DOJ leadership with loyalists to facilitate a personal retribution strategy against perceived adversaries. However, the Justice Department's response has been slow and constrained by legal processes, hindering Trump's plans to utilize federal power effectively for this purpose. Attorney General Pam Bondi has actively participated in this initiative by establishing a task group to scrutinize previous investigations involving Trump.
In November 2017, Donald Trump expressed frustration over the Justice Department's independence, lamenting that he could not investigate Hillary Clinton due to its constraints.
Trump's return to power allowed him to install loyalists in the DOJ, paving the way for leveraging the department as a tool for personal revenge against perceived enemies.
Despite Trump's intentions to use the DOJ for retribution, the legal system has been slow to accommodate his demands, resulting in a lack of progress on investigations.
Attorney General Pam Bondi enthusiastically engaged in Trump's agenda, launching a 'Weaponization Working Group' to investigate past Trump-related probes.
