President Trump 's visit to the Justice Department underscored the fear that he will now use the Department of Justice as a tool for retribution or vengeance.

The president ran and won, we should note, in part because he argued that America 's legal system was out to get him via the Russia collusion investigation and federal indictments over his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

The Supreme Court may soon decide the extent of Mr. Trump 's expansive view of executive power.

Scott McFarland , Scott McFarlane and Ty Cobb join us on tonight 's America Tonight .

The president has made plain he's going to run roughshod and, you know, may not even obey Supreme Court orders, certainly not going to obey District Court orders.

The legislature has been neutered by cowardly Republicans . They're not doing anything to stand up to the president. The emperor is very naked. I am Lavish 's praise over dim witted partisan sycophants like Judge Cannon ..

Ty Cobb : "There's no evidence that anybody associated with Mueller , with the possible exception of one or more of his staff had any political motives. And I think they did a dutiful job. I worked very closely with Mueller and his staff. I found them very professional".
