Washington-President Donald Trump promised to “expose” his enemies during a political discourse that breaks the norm on Friday in the Department of Justice in which he issued a litany of complaints about the criminal cases he faced and promised compensation for what he described as the “lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls.”

The speech was destined to gather support for Trump administration policies on violent crimes, drugs and illegal immigration. But it also worked as a triumphant forum for the president to boast of having emerged legally and politically unscathed from two federal prosecutions that a year ago threatened to torpedo their presidential perspectives, but were fired after their electoral victory last fall.

Although other presidents have spoken from the great ceremonial hall of the Department of Justice, Trump’s direction amounted to an extraordinary exhibition of partisan policy and personal complaint within an institution that is destined to be blind to both. Partying himself as the “director of the law of the law” of the country, a title normally reserved for the Attorney General, promised to point to his perceived enemies even when he claimed to be finishing what he called the weapon of the department’s weapon.

The speech marked the last demonstration of the incomparable acquisition of the department of Trump and occurred in the middle of a blatant compensation campaign already carried out under its surveillance, including the dismissal of prosecutors who investigated him during the Biden administration and the scrutiny of thousands of FBI agents who investigated the assumptions of the presidents that assaulted the Capitol of the Usse on January 6, 2021.

“Our predecessors made this department of justice in the department of injustice. But I stand before you today to declare that those days are over, and that they will never return and will never return, “Trump told cheers of a crowd that included local officials responsible for enforcing the law, political allies and director of the FBI Kash Patel.” Then, now, as the director of application of the law in our country, I will insist and demand a complete and complete responsibility of the errors and the abuses that have occurred. “

The visit to the Department of Justice, Trump’s first and the first of any president in a decade, took him to the belly of an institution that has belittled in scoring terms for years, but has tried to remodel by installing loyal and members of his personal defense team in the best leadership positions.

The event was a reminiscence of a campaign rally, with optimistic music to fly from the speakers before Trump entered the great room. The officials of the Department of Justice and the White House mixed while the members of the crowd posed for selfies. The podium was flanked by great signals that said “Fighting Fentanyl in the United States.” Also on stage there was a cardboard box that said “Evidence of the DEA”.

Trump’s unique status as a criminal defendant at the time accused by the department, was now addressing the speech on the speech while ventilating, in deep and personal terms, on investigations from the investigation of the Russian electoral interference to the most recent investigations on their efforts to revoke the results of the 2020 presidential elections and the right of documents classified in their Mar-A-Lago heritage.

He mentioned by the name of the prosecutors who investigated him, calling them “slag” and called the case of documents classified against him “bulls,”. He affirmed that “a corrupt group of hacks and radicals within the ranks of the US government erased the confidence and good will for generations,” and said that before the department could convert the page, “we must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls.”

“We will expert the dishonest actors and the corrupt forces of our government. We will expose, we will expose its atrocious crimes and severe misconduct, ”Trump said in a broad speech that touched everything, from the Russian war against Ukraine, the 2020 elections to the price of eggs.

“It’s going to be legendary. And he will also be legendary for people who can seek him and bring justice. We will restore the justice scales in the United States, and make sure that such abuses will never happen again in our country. “

His statement that the Department of Justice had been armed during the Biden administration overlooked that there were investigations during that time in the mismanagement of the classified information of Biden and in the firearms and the fiscal affairs of his son Hunter. And his count of the recent investigations on him did not mention that prosecutors had accumulated what they said was substantial evidence, including that he had tried to obstruct the investigation of classified documents.

When it comes to establishing its agenda, the Department of Justice historically takes the example of the White House, but seeks to maintain its independence in individual criminal investigations.

Trump has overturned such standards.

He encouraged specific investigations during his first mandate and tried Trump of generalized fraud in the 2020 elections.

Upon arriving for a second term in January, recent FBI.

“We all work for the best president in the history of our country,” Bondi said on Friday when presenting Trump. “We are very proud to work in the Donald Trump directive. He will never stop fighting for us and we will never stop fighting for him and our country. “

Even before Bondi had been confirmed, the Department of Justice dismissed the employees of the department who served in the special advisor team Jack Smith, which brought the electoral interference and classified the cases of documents against Trump. Both cases were dismissed last November with the policy of the Long Data Department of Justice against the accusation of presidents.

The senior officials of the Department of Justice also demanded from the FBI lists of thousands of employees who worked on investigations in the disturbance of January 6, 2021 at the United States Capitol, when a multitude of Trump supporters broke into the construction in an effort to stop the electoral vote certification, and the prosecutors who had participated in the cases.

And they have ordered the dismissal of a criminal case against the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, saying that the charges had harmed the ability of the Democrat to associate in the struggle of the Republican Administration against illegal immigration.
