LaMonica McIver Prepares to Hoist Todd Blanche with His Own Petard - emptywheel
Briefly

Recent events indicate that Trump's politicized prosecutions might backfire. These legal actions have the potential to create sympathetic political martyrs while also exposing corruption among officials such as Bondi. Specific allegations include the unlawful arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka under instruction from the Deputy Attorney General, contradicting established procedures for such actions. Congressional motions led by LaMonica McIver are focused on revealing these corrupt behaviors, particularly involving Deputy Attorney General Patel's orders to arrest Mayor Baraka.
The politicized prosecutions of Trump could potentially empower political martyrs and expose corruption, particularly among figures like Bondi and her aides who may be violating legal ethics.
Evidence from Body Cam footage revealed that after Governor Ras Baraka was instructed to leave by HSI, he was subsequently arrested in a scenario deemed unsafe and undermined by established procedures.
