It's textbook authoritarian narrative-building.

🧵 1/18 — INTRO
What the Deputy Attorney General said on national television tonight is far outside DOJ norms and an example of an authoritarian administration weaponizing justice to target its opponents. Here’s a breakdown in a thread. 2/18
The Deputy Attorney General claims “there is nothing illegal about what President Trump is doing,” but the only evidence he offers is that Trump is “doing exactly what he said he would do when he won a year ago”—a statement that has no legal relevance whatsoever;
