Daniel Dale does a typically robust fact check of Trump and JD's false claim that Trump never went after his opponents. One important thing missing, tho: How the Brady Side channel sustained an effort to criminally frame Joe Biden. edition.cnn.com/2024/10/15/p...

Screen cap of this paragraph, which is full of links:

Trump made extensive behind-the-scenes efforts to get his political opponents charged with crimes. But you donā€™t have to rely on investigative reporting or the memoirs of former administration officials to know that Trump went after political opponents as president.

He often went after them in public, too.

As CNN reporter Marshall Cohen has noted, there is a long list of political opponents whom Trump publicly called for the Justice Department and others to investigate or prosecute. The list includes not only 2016 election opponent Hillary Clinton and 2020 election opponent Joe Biden but also Bidenā€™s son Hunter Biden, Democratic former Secretary of State John Kerry, Trumpā€™s former national security advisor turned critic John Bolton, Democratic former President Barack Obama, unspecified Obama administration officials, the anonymous author of a New York Times op-ed by a Trump administration official critical of Trump, MSNBC host and Trump critic Joe Scarborough, former FBI director turned Trump critic James Comey, other former FBI officials, former British spy Christopher Steele (the author of a controversial dossier of allegations against Trump), and various congressional Democrats ā€“ including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, and Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia.
