At a congressional hearing Tuesday on "Ending the Weaponization of the Justice Department," far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) agreed that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was, in fact, weaponized—but not by the Biden administration, whose political enemies were ruthlessly prosecuted and whose cronies got off scot-free.
Crockett, ranking member of the U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, which held the hearing, claimed that President Donald Trump is actively using the DOJ as a political bludgeon against his opponents.
During her allotted time, Crockett said she, too, is concerned about "a rogue DOJ" and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) "being used for purposes outside of our domestic security."
However, she said, "This phrase, the weaponization of government, is something that has been overly used and repeated by my Republican colleague; they use it as a war cry, a battle call, to justify dismantling federal agencies and the purging of thousands of hardworking, dedicated federal servants."
