Republican strategist Roger Stone asked bluntly on Twitter on Saturday, “Who at the DOJ is blocking the prosecution of the entire Russian Collusion cabal as well as crooks like Letitia James and Adam Schiff?”
President Donald Trump has echoed similar frustrations on Truth Social, demanding action against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who pursued the civil fraud case against himself and his organization in New York.
The question now reverberating through conservative circles is clear: why is the Department of Justice refusing to act?
One of Donald Trump’s most consequential missteps during his first term was his refusal to take control of the Department of Justice, the very branch he led as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.
Trump seemed to be intimidated by the media and Democrats who screamed for the DOJ to remain “independent.”
As a result, the DOJ launched investigations and prosecutions targeting Trump and his allies, from Paul Manafort to Roger Stone, while ignoring mounting evidence of misconduct by government officials involved in the Russia hoax.
When Joe Biden took over, the DOJ became even more partisan, prosecuting January 6 protesters and Donald Trump himself.
For his second term, Trump vowed reform. His initial choice for Attorney General, Congressman Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid congressional backlash, leading to the appointment of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
But Bondi’s record of capitulating to the mob was largely unknown. In 2012 in Florida, she bowed to media and protesters led by Al Sharpton and Ben Crump by appointing a special prosecutor in the George Zimmerman case, despite the police having already ruled the shooting of Trayvon Martin as self-defense.
My 2019 film, The Trayvon Hoax, exposed the entire prosecution as a hoax based on a fake witness. Zimmerman’s acquittal was the reason for the founding of the Black Lives Matter group.
Bondi’s caving in was thus responsible for BLM’s formation and the mayhem that followed, including “hands up don’t shoot” and the George Floyd riots.
When questioned about decision-making for today’s DOJ, Trump has repeatedly said, “it’s up to Pam.” But this “hands off” deference may once again prove costly.
As documented in my investigative reports in The Gateway Pundit beginning in March 2025, Letitia James engaged in 24 years of mortgage fraud and housing regulation violations in connection with her 5-unit Brooklyn apartment building.
