The Gateway Pundit reportedon former President Barack Obama’s complaint about the “politicization” of the Department of Justice.
During a pre-recorded appearance on 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.”
DeSantis hit back with one simple zinger, “The Russia collusion hoax would like a word.”
