Summary

Donald Trump, speaking at the Justice Department, called for jailing officials behind the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and defended allies while attacking critics.

He praised Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed his classified documents case, and condemned those who criticized her.

Trump called former special counsel Jack Smith “deranged” and referred to Jan. 6 defendants as “hostages.”

His remarks, delivered before Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, underscore his escalated rhetoric on retribution now that he holds presidential power again.

    I mean Trump was practically responsible for the US leaving Afghanistan.

    I mean we literally just had Musk pushing the narrative that Hitler wasn’t at fault for killing so many because it was really the fault of the bureaucrats who followed his orders.

    Leopard, meet faces.
