President voices impatience on social media, praises new U.S. Attorney nominee
President Donald Trump on Saturday publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the pace of investigations into several prominent political figures, including former FBI Director James Comey, Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of California, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. In a series of social media posts, the president questioned what he perceived as a “delay” in filing charges against the trio.
Trump’s comments, shared on his social media platform, came after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard referred Comey to the Department of Justice for potential criminal activity related to the “Russia collusion” narrative from the 2016 election. Both Schiff and James face separate allegations of mortgage fraud.
In one post, the president wrote, “I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, ‘same old story as last time, all talk, no action.'” He specifically mentioned Comey, Schiff, and James, stating they are “guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.” He also referred to a recent firing of a U.S. Attorney in Virginia, whom he described as a “Woke RINO” (Republican in Name Only) and claimed he “lied to the media and said he quit.”
The president stressed the need for action, writing, “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”
In a follow-up post, President Trump praised Attorney General Pam Bondi, calling her “very careful, very smart, loves our Country.” However, he added that she “needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia” to “get things moving.” He then announced his intention to nominate lawyer Lindsey Halligan for the U.S. Attorney position in that district, stating she will “provide, desperately needed, JUSTICE FOR ALL!”
The allegations against Schiff and James stem from reports of alleged mortgage fraud. James reportedly claimed properties in Norfolk, Virginia, as “primary residences” despite her official role in New York. Similarly, Schiff allegedly claimed a Maryland house as his primary residence on multiple financial applications, reportedly to secure a lower interest rate.
