How weaponization works.
Prosecutors broke the law to make sure they convicted me, by loading unconstitutional evidence onto a laptop they gave to the jury.The illegal evidence, that the Judge had ruled inadmissible, violated the Congressional immunity clause of the Constitution.

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

Damian left the SDNY and joined the Paul Weiss law firm. He already has a political website up and running. The bottom line is that Damian Williams is going to run for public office and all of these prosecutions are just ways for him to build credibility for a future political career.

Damian Williams is one of Manhattan DA Alvin, Bragg's closest friends and political allies.
Merrick Garland is Damian's mentor and career maker, having worked for Garland when he was a judge. Garland installed Damian as US Attorney, and even spoke at his swearing in ceremony.

So these experiences, as well as those under the Biden
administration, where Obama's influence was still prevalent through his surrogates, lead me to understand why President Trump believes the Justice Department was Weaponized against him and his supporters.

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

Obama’s Justice Department was used against me, not only over Iran, but also about Cuba policy. I opposed Obama unilaterally opening up to the Castro regime without getting any concessions. No release of political prisoners, no Free Press, no free elections. No freedoms!

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

My opposition to Obama's legacy policies on Iran and Cuba got me indicted by Jack Smith, the head of the Public Integrity Unit at Justice. The Judge dismissed the most important counts and the case was subsequently dismissed,but the damage was done.

This is exactly why I said Obama’s deal with Iran was a bad deal!

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

So when Democrats talk about weaponizing the Justice Dept, they should look into their own past actions. Obama was willing to use the Justice Department to pursue and preserve the legacy issue he felt would earn him the Nobel Prize he had received.

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

People talk about the Trump DOJ, but it was the Democrats who started weaponizing the Justice Dept. When, as the Chairman of the SFRC, I didn't go along with Obama's Iran deal, I was indicted, and the next day after being stripped of my position, Obama announced the Iran deal.

[Senator Bob Menendez @SenatorMenendez]

This was the ultimate weaponization of the Justice Dept. for a political purpose. 10 of 12 jurors didn't believe ANY of the government's case, and the Federal Judge overseeing the case, dismissed the most serious counts, saying, "there was no there, there!" But the damage was done!

I applaud President Trump for working to insure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. It would negatively change the entire paradigm of the Middle East and would be an existential threat to Israel.
