President Trump has demanded that the Department of Justice prosecute his political enemies. He has ordered his aides to use the fearsome tools of the law to investigate fund-raising by the Democratic Party and liberal groups who oppose him. He has spared his own supporters from the consequences of law breaking.
And now, in a breathtaking act of self-dealing, he wants the department to hand over nearly a quarter-billion dollars of taxpayer money and place it in his personal bank account as payment for his personal grievances.
Given the eagerness of Justice Department officials to do his bidding, there is reason to expect he may get that money. One official authorized to approve the payment worked on Mr. Trump’s personal legal team, and another represented Trump allies.
