[INSERT BANNER HEADLINE ON TRUMP RETRIBUTION HERE]

Many things have happened. Here are some of the things. This is the morning memo of TPM. Register For the e-mail version.

As bad as that

At the time when banner titles were important, it would have been plastered at the top of the first page in America: President Trump rigorous against former government representatives who are now faced with criminal investigations by a ministry of justice in the White House.

I don’t know how to say it more clearly than that.

As Fox News reported for the first time, former CIA director John Brennan, and former FBI director James Comey, are now the targets of federal criminal surveys linked to their work by surveying Russia’s ties with the Trump campaign in the 2016 elections. The Ministry of Justice confirmed the surveys in a very unusual decision in a very unusual decision in which Before retiring behind the longtime policy that she had just raped not to comment on active investigations.

Brennan’s alleged reprehensible acts would have lied to the congress about an Intel 2017 community assessment of Russia’s pro-Trump role in the 2016 elections and would occur after a criminal reference by CIA Director, John Ratcliffe. It is not clear what is the parasitic predicate for Comey’s investigation, assuming that there is an ostensible “reason” for this.

Asked about investigations, Trump denied all knowledge of them, before relying:

But I’m going to tell you, I think they are very dishonest people. I think they are twisted like hell. And maybe they have to pay a price for this. I think they are really bad people and dishonest people … So whatever happens, happens.

The White House press secretary praised the investigations in an appearance of Fox News. “I am happy to see that the Ministry of Justice opens this investigation,” said Karoline Leavitt.

If you are waiting to draw your own conclusions until you see the result of these false surveys, you have been rocked in a feeling of complacency. Thwarted surveys are reprehensible acts. Putting criminal charges would be an additional layer of reprehensible acts, but, at this stage, harassment, intimidation and threat are the point. Brennan and Comey are the immediate targets, but it is a warning for the representatives of the past and present government not to cross Trump.

We have passed the threshold now and deeply in anarchy.

Comey targeted in Another Path

“The secret services have seen the former director of the FBI, James B. Comey, followed by the authorities of the application of laws in unmarked cars and street clothes and followed the location of his mobile phone the day after the publication of a social networks in May, the allies of President Trump declared a threat to assassinate the president,” reports the NYT.

Ok, it’s on!

The thrust of the Trump White House for a Mi-Décennie redistribution in Texas to try to remove some additional GOP seats and save the house in the 2026 elections succeeded. The Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott (R), included the redistribution in the legislative agenda he published yesterday for a special session established for later this month.

Time sign

A new survey by the Brennan Center reports that 46% of local electoral officials are concerned about political surveys in motivation on elections.

Trump Zeros in Harvard accreditation

The Trump administration told the Harvard accreditor that he had concluded that the university had violated civil rights laws by not being allegedly protected by Jewish students against anti -Semitic harassment, in a decision that constitutes an existential threat to school. The last attack on Higher Ed came the same day as the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS) announced that it will oppose Harvard for files on the application of immigration laws with regard to its international students.

Canari mission used to target pro-Palestinian students

The pro-Israeli anonymous website Canary Mission was used by the Trump administration to identify pro-Palestinian students to target the expulsion, according to documents and testimonies that emerged during the current trial on the expulsion policy.

Man wrongly expelled confirmed in Cecot

In one of the unjustified expulsion cases with a lower profile, the Trump administration for the first time confirmed that Jordin Alexander Melgar-Salmeron was detained in Cecot in El Salvador.

What stands out from the unjustified expulsion of Melgar-Salmeron, a Salvadoran national, is that he was removed in violation of a court of appeal order. Its withdrawal on May 7 in the minutes following the ordinance of the second circuit is the result of a confluence of administrative errors, said the Trump administration in the court.

But until yesterday, the administration had not been able to provide information on the exact location of Melgar-Salmeron

January 6 Organizer of the rally found in the court in court

The organizer of Stop Staly Rally, Caroline Wren, a long -standing fundraising of the GOP, was found in court in court and was sentenced to $ 2,000 per day until she complies with a summons for files on the event of January 6 which preceded the attack on the Capitol. The assignment occurs in a trial by the Capitol police against Donald Trump, and Wren is a witness. “I do not want to resort to incarceration if possible,” the American district judge Donald Middlebrooks said on Wednesday in Tribunal, where Wren was a non-presentation.
