FBI agents executed a search warrant at the home and office of John Bolton, a former National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump and a prominent conservative critic. The raid prompted ideological divisions among pundits, with conservatives alleging lawfare carried out during the Biden administration. Republicans pointed to alleged politicization and weaponization of the DOJ and IRS during the Obama and Biden years. Critics questioned whether any directives originated with the president, noting a lack of proof that presidents ordered such actions. Trump faced prior federal and state legal cases, including dismissed federal charges and a New York conviction.
Davison alleged that the two previous Democratic administrations politicized and weaponized the DOJ. The examples of political retribution that we do have proof of is Biden and Obama, she said. Go back in time. Those are the ones we know for sure, that the IRS was weaponized, the DOJ was weaponized. Those are the examples that we've actually seen. This one we don't yet.
I guess my critique of that argument, which we hear a lot from conservatives, is that you might argue that these institutions the IRS and the DOJ went overboard, but there has yet to date been no proof that any of that was directed by the president of the United States, the host said. If I'm wrong, where is the proof? Because I have yet to see any proof of Joe Biden directing that.
