Former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the Department of Justice to investigate a former national security official, Miles Taylor, who previously criticized Trump and anonymously authored a New York Times op-ed claiming to be part of a 'resistance' within the administration.
Trump labeled Taylor a 'traitor' and accused him of treason, escalating his long-standing feud with internal critics. The executive order also targets a law firm and the American Bar Association, both of which have been critical of Trump. Taylor responded by warning that the move represents a 'dark path' for American democracy.
The action has sparked concerns about the politicization of the Justice Department.

Honestly, it's about time someone held these so-called "public servants" accountable when they undermine the leader elected by the people. If you're working in the government and actively sabotaging the President, you deserve to be investigated—plain and simple. Trump is just doing what any strong leader should do: demand loyalty and protect national unity.

This is exactly why the government should never have this much power—both sides will weaponize it the moment they get the chance.
