Wow, this is a total weaponization of the DOJ against Trump antagonists happening right before our eyes:

wsj.com/articles/justi…
In keeping with the possible charging of McCabe, the hounding of Bruce Ohr, the IG report on Comey, etc.

Two and a half years in, Trump and his acolytes are figuring out how to use the apparatus of the state to reward friends & punish enemies. A direct attack on the rule of law.
Always seemed to me the Antitrust division was a great vehicle for weaponization of the state. The investigations strike at corporations & whole sectors (controlled by the wealthy & influential); they are incredibly time consuming & expensive; they are by their nature opaque.
AT&T/Time Warner was a dry run. It's almost impossible to imagine any other GOP DOJ blocking that deal.

But what was confusing about that was it was arguably justified.

It's prudent to wait for evidence here with this automaker probe, but this appears much more dangerous.
