Friend,
There was a major development today, and it cuts straight to the heart of Trump’s growing abuse of power.
A federal judge just dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James after finding that the prosecutor who brought the cases – a Trump-installed loyalist with no prior experience – was illegally appointed. The judge called the indictments “unlawful exercises of executive power.”[1]
This confirms what so many of us have been warning: Trump has been pressuring his Justice Department to go after people he sees as political enemies. These cases were built on that obsession, not on evidence, and today’s ruling exposed just how far his administration is willing to stretch the law to make those cases happen.
And this moment is only one piece of a much larger struggle. Trump keeps pressuring the DOJ to pursue his critics and political rivals, and these dismissals are already expected to move into appeals. The escalation is unmistakable, and it threatens the basic expectation that federal law enforcement must answer to the public, not the president’s pursuit of personal grudges.
That’s why your voice matters right now.
This ruling is a meaningful rebuke of Trump’s abuses, but the larger fight is far from over. Trump will keep looking for new targets. And we will keep standing up to this dangerous misuse of power.
Onward,
People For the American Way
