He campaigned against the unjust lawfare that was waged against him . But now the shoe is on the other foot . Will he in turn seek retribution by utilizing lawfare against his opponents ?
Apparently so based on his instructions to the DOJ .
I further direct the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with any other agency head, to take all appropriate action to review Krebs’ activities as a Government employee, including his leadership of CISA. This review should identify any instances where Krebs’ conduct appears to have been contrary to suitability standards for Federal employees,

In other words 'show me the man and I'll show you the crime.
Chris Krebs led the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency( CISA) . . Trump fired him because Krebs under Clueless Joe knocked down claims of voter fraud. Fine that was his prerogative as Chief Executive .
Trump's order to DOJ and DHS smells like a fishing expedition. If he has any proof to back it up it is not public . He is telling them to scour the records and find the crime.
He is doing the same thing to Miles Taylor ;former Chief of Staff at DHS.

This was the guy who published under the pseudonym 'Anonymous' . He may very well have disclosed classified material in his writing. But if Trump has proof he is keeping mum about it. Instead he is directing an open ended review of Taylor's time in office .....ie investigate to find the crime.
These orders appear to be in opposition to his previous order to end weaponization of politics.

There may very well be criminal activity . But this sounds more like personal retribution to me...... using the law enforcement agencies to get his opponents.
