This was obvious literally from Day 1 of this administration. It was presaged by the subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government in the House of Representatives, headed by Rep Comer of Kentucky, which went after Hunter Biden in order to get to President Biden.
“Ending the Weaponization of the Federal Government” by creating a Weaponization Working Group. The only criminals in the government happen to be running it right now.
Weaponizing the DOJ while trying to disarm the courts -- just read about sec 7030 of the reconciliation bill - a provision that disallows courts of the United States from "enforc[ing] a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued... whether issued prior to, on, or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section."
“Eagle Ed” Martin is an incompetent clown, but unlike Eddie “the Eagle” Edwards, the only British ski-jumper in Olympic history (last at Calgary, 1988), he is devoid of charm or courage. Martin is more grist for Keith Olbermann’s theory that if democracy somehow survives these times it will be because of the stupidity of its enemies rather than the skill or courage of its supporters
"The Justice Department’s newly formed “Weaponization Working Group,” announced in a memo this week by Attorney General Pam Bondi, was purportedly intended to root out “abuses of the criminal justice process” by local and federal law enforcement officers.
But a literal reading of its name suggests that the investigative body was also an example of the department itself, now under new leadership, weaponizing its expansive powers to scrutinize and perhaps take action against several officials who, for various reasons, have run afoul of President Trump."
Great research. Thank you for the work and information.

Truly Orwellian stuff. One day soon this corrupt, un-American regime will pay the price.
Amazing that the NYT hasn't covered this!
Thanks for inspiring me to look up whether the NYT did cover this. Here's an article from Feb. 6, 2025:
"Justice Dept.’s Weaponization Group Underscores Trump’s Quest for Retribution"

The first two paragraphs of same article:
"The Justice Department’s newly formed “Weaponization Working Group,” announced in a memo this week by Attorney General Pam Bondi, was purportedly intended to root out “abuses of the criminal justice process” by local and federal law enforcement officers.
