Raskin on Comey Indictment: For Trump, It’s All About Blood Feuds, Personal Vengeance, And Vindicative Actions
On MSNBC’s Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) talked about President Donald Trump’s views on the Justice Department and his powers as President of the United States:
REP. JAMIE RASKIN: I think that that message which went out to the world, which apparently was originally directed to Pam Bondi, was revealing because for him, he sees it in completely personal terms. You know, he can’t imagine that there are people, in fact, most everybody involved in the court system who are interested in neutral application of legal principles and laws and cases and so on. For him, it’s all about blood feuds and personal vengeance and vindictive actions. So I do think he obviously has harbors no good will towards James Comey and his family. He believes that being president of the United States gives him the right to do whatever he wants in order to go after James Comey, even if James Comey hasn’t done anything wrong.
