But just like our weaponization subcommittee, you'll recall that, Natalie, established by House Republicans in 2023, this all apparently went nowhere.
Now, but I did caution people early on.
because I covered these judges in Washington, D.C.
for so long, and I saw how rigged the system was, and you saw how these judges were flipping 180 degrees from rubber stamping anything that the Department of Justice wanted to reversing everything and overturning and blocking whatever the DOJ wanted as soon as Trump won office.
So I said, these things just are not going to happen quickly, and they weren't.
So she...
She, to the extent that she did, and then Ed Martin as acting D.C.
U.S.
attorney, and then the team around her, and even we see this with Jeanine Pirro.
I mean, there is a locked-arm judicial resistance, especially in the D.C.
District Court, to sabotage anything that this DOJ wants.
And that extends even to grand juries, Natalie, where you have activist groups in Washington, right after Trump won, counseling and coaching people
If they were selected to serve on a grand jury, here is how you undermine the DOJ's speaking of a federal criminal indictment and returning a no true bill, which we now see in unprecedented numbers coming out of not just D.C., but other blue cities as well.
So she faced almost insurmountable obstacles.
And we can go into detail about all of them, not just, you know, the judges, but the flood of lawsuits for the immigration policies.
I mean, it was like whack-a-mole at the DOJ every single day.
So, you know, I'm sure she was doing her best, but knowing that the president's priority and the MAGA's base priority was we want to see serious indictments, charges, investigations.
We want raids.
