Report Claims Trump DOJ Considering More Indictments
The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey has ignited a political firestorm, with Democrats claiming the Trump administration is using “lawfare” — that is, weaponizing the legal system — to punish its adversaries.
But as Peter Schweizer and Steve Bannon point out on The Drill Down podcast, the irony is palpable. After all, lawfare has been a hallmark of how Trump’s enemies have pursued him and his allies for years.
From Carter Page to Gen. Mike Flynn, and countless others in Trump’s inner circle, we’ve seen how legal pressure was used not just as a means of justice, but as a political strategy. Now that Comey faces charges — obstruction of justice, lying to Congress — the question isn’t whether he’s guilty (that’s for a jury to decide), but whether the process is finally catching up to those who once believed themselves untouchable.
Steve Bannon is unequivocal. These charges are just the beginning. “The lying to Congress and obstruction of justice — are just the appetizers,” he says, speculating that bigger names are next. Brennan. Clapper. McCabe.
The very architects of the intelligence-driven resistance to Trump’s presidency. If Bannon’s right, we’re looking at a reckoning that could dwarf even the infamous Watergate scandal. “This is going to make Watergate look like the small-time burglary that it was,” he predicts.
While figures like Alvin Bragg and Letitia James ran on explicit promises to “get Trump,” there was little objection from media or political elites.
Yet now, when charges come for Comey, cries of “political persecution” fill the air. Bannon lays it bare: “These people are vicious because they know they can’t win at the ballot box… They’re going to have a very tough time in the electoral college.”
And as for what to do next? Bannon lays out a focused plan: challenge voter fraud through strategic lawsuits, investigate the 274 FBI agents present on January 6, and confront Chinese influence in American institutions.
In a moment heavy with historic echoes and political implications, Bannon believes the only way to stop lawfare is to confront it head-on — legally, strategically, and unapologetically.
