Former President Barack Obama is complaining about the “politicization” of the Department of Justice, a topic about which he himself is very well versed.
During his pre-recorded appearance on the soon-to-be-canceled Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Obama went after Trump for allegedly targeting his enemies via the DOJ.
“We can’t overcome the politicization of our justice system, the awesome power of the state,” Obama complained.
“The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted.
”The AG is the people’s lawyer, it’s not the president’s consigliere.”
“You can’t have a situation in which whoever is in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies or reward their friends.”
This is particularly ironic given the Obama and Biden DOJ’s extensive record of targeting conservatives and their political opponents, most notably in the wake of the January 6th protests.
