For months, Trump put loyalists in key interim U.S. attorney offices. Three were found to be serving unlawfully, leading to the dismissal of criminal charges against some of his political foes.

Trump will federalize D.C. police, deploy the National Guard, & send the FBI after homeless people to combat a made-up crisis in D.C.
But on Jan. 6th when violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol he couldn't be bothered to call the National Guard.
Make it make sense.
