'We have a president who actually criticized his own attorney general onpolitical grounds
If President Donald Trump succeeded in determining who should and shouldn’t be prosecuted by his Justice Department, the nation would become a “banana republic,” attorney George Conway said at a Washington law forum Friday.
“We have a president who actually criticized his own attorney general on political grounds ... because the attorney general allowed the indictment of two congressmen who were supporters of the president,” noted George Conway, one of the founders of the conservative Checks and Balances organization, which co-sponsored the event.
Trump has also said that “members of his own Justice Department should be locked up for investigating the president,” Conway added. Trump last year retweeted a meme of a number of people behind bars — including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.“What would happen if it became real government policy that the press is the enemy of the people” and the media were punished for “criticizing, say, the president?” he asked.
