Anderson Cooper: Trump took a victory lap at Department of Justice

President Donald Trump excoriated the Justice Department prosecutors who investigated him and vowed to use it to target his own enemies in a campaign-style speech at the department’s historic Great Hall.

The hourlong speech served as both a victory lap for beating the two federal criminal cases brought against him by the Biden administration, and as a condemnation against any officials – some of whom have been fired from the DOJ – who touched those cases.

If Trump didn’t lie, he wouldn’t have anything to say.

When good men or women do nothing then Evil Prevails!

[jasonx-ray]

No wonder Trump and Musk get along so well. They both have Mad Cow disease.

[DAXRDR]

The corrupt judges kept him out of jail,
He is a fn liar and corrupt criminal who needs to be put in jail !!

[heidiweber]

THIS IS how fascism starts plain and simple.

[stephenp]

He’s a lunatic, it feels like we are living in a mockumentary. Judge Eileen Cannon has her eyes firmly set on her “ thank you” spit on the Supreme Court. He just needs another spot….

[toniehrlich]

Correct me if I am wrong but those two cases were only closed because he became President not because he was found innocent. I wouldn’t be on my high horse if I were him. I do thank you for doing the immediate fact checking. Seems like in this speech the lies outweigh the facts

How do we survive in a lawless country?

[mcourtois]

the wheels have fallen off the wagon, and the guardrails have been removed
the world is not and will not look kindly on those who are supporting this madness and those who are watching quietly
it's up to the people to save the USA against this terrible regime

How Embarrassing for the American People

[afitzger]

It's nothing new. It's appalling is disgracedful. But he acts this way everyday. He is dangerous period.

[skidawg]

He's insane. And needs to resign.

[letzsnuggzz]

A convicted felon declaring himself Chief Law Enforcement officer of the country. What hellish timeline are we in?

[jackmidst]

This should care every citizen. Facism is officially here.

I watched this same story reported on 4 other news outlets. One did well. The others didn’t report on how unhinged it was. This was supposed to be about drug confiscation not Donny. Excellent job from Anderson Cooper.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a Bible"
- (paraphrased) The original quote is attributed to Sinclair Lewis:
Trump has appeared in public doing both.

[dustinandtarynwolfe]

Its kinda surprising to me that the Republicans are completely oblivious like the germans were in about 1937

[declaytor]

Thanks Elon for bringing our astronauts home!

[littlestarr]

Again unbelievable this guy is our president! 😂

[nickporter]

I don't see Trump surviving the next year
