     We Must Reform America’s Politicized Law Enforcement.
     Steve Bradbury / June 09, 2023
     The Justice Department unsealed Friday its indictment of former
President Donald Trump, currently the leading candidate to face
President Joe Biden.
     The news elicited strong reactions from members of Congress and
others concerned about the politicization of our justice system and
the application of double standards in prosecutorial decisions.
     Recent revelations from special counsel John Durham’s report
and the work of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and
the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government show that
these concerns are more than justified.
     The independent judiciary is one strong bulwark against prose-
cutorial overreach. Under our constitutional system, every defendant
is entitled to due process before an impartial judge, a trial by
jury, and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt.
     But are there reform measures and other actions that our elec-
ted political leaders can take to put an end to the abuses of the
FBI and the weaponized use of the Justice Department’s investiga-
tory and prosecutorial powers?
     The answer is a definite yes.

     Of course, as the chief executive, the president can and should
take strong action to bring the FBI and DOJ under control and ensure
equal justice in federal law enforcement, but that’s unlikely to
happen under the current administration.
     For its part, Congress has the power to enact effective mea-
sures, including structural reforms, to rein in a weaponized execu-
tive branch.
     *For example, several significant reform recommendations are
laid out in “Mandate for Leadership 2025: The Conservative Pro-
mise,” a joint production of The Heritage Foundation and a coalition
of more than 60 conservative public interest organizations that are
part of Project 2025. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The
Heritage Foundation.)
     These recommendations, outlined in chapter 17 on the Justice
Department, include:
     Moving the FBI under the supervision of an assistant attorney
general.
     Moving the FBI director’s office into Justice Department head-
quarters to ensure greater control and oversight.
     Eliminating unnecessary functions of the FBI that can be per-
formed just as well by the Justice Department, such as the general
counsel’s function and public relations and legislative affairs.
     Canceling the new headquarters building and downsizing the
Washington offices of the FBI, while shifting more staff and re-
sources to the field offices.
     Eliminating the 10-year term for the director.
     Placing more restrictions and oversight on the use of intel-
ligence-gathering authorities.
     Congress can also reform DOJ’s Civil Rights Division in sim-
ilar fashion to refocus and restore its proper functions.
     At the same time, Congress has the power of the purse. It can
withhold funding from entire departments or bureaus or take more
focused action through the appropriations process—such as placing
a ban on the use of federal funds for certain types of abusive
investigations or prosecutions, like those aimed at suppressing the
free exercise of religious beliefs or targeting Americans who ex-
press disagreement with the government’s policies or parents who
try to assert control over their own children’s education.
     And don’t forget about oversight. The committees of Congress
have broad power to investigate the actions, decisions, and policies
of the attorney general and other officers of the executive branch,
including with regard to controversial prosecutions (or decisions
not to enforce the law) that may involve improper political motiva-
tions or unequal treatment of similar offenders. The House Judiciary 
Committee is conducting such oversight into the Manhattan district
attorney’s unprecedented prosecution of the former president.
     Finally, if officers of the executive branch have abused their
powers, including for political purposes, or have otherwise failed
to uphold their sworn duty to enforce the laws faithfully and in a
fair and equal manner, Congress holds the ultimate authority to re-
move them from office through the impeachment process.**
     Recent evidence has surfaced that proves that the entire upper
level that controls the DOJ and FBI have been partisan to allow all
their actions be dictated by the Executive Branch, thereby being in
violation of the Constitution.
     The bias in DC has created an atmosphere of racism, and we
should not continue to let the constant judge shopping and misuse
of the law. "Every American is entitled to a fair and impartial
trial by a jury with the presumption of innocence.
     Over the last 7-8 years, we have been victims of a corrupt and
viscous attack by the Democrats and their misuse of the Judicial
system so well explained in our Constitution.
     It is time to indict, impeach, and fire all involved and a 
complete overhaul of the Executive Branch and all leadership from
the President to the their staff.
     The American people deserve better and we are quickly running
out of time before the deep state, ESG, and all their connections
have destroyed the nation. These people need to be expelled from
our shores.
     God is a forgiving God but He is also a powerful creator who
is likely running out of patience.
     Pray often and with all your heart.

  Conservatively,
  John
