Trump literally wants these 2 men arrested for criticizing him https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-trump-literally-wants-2-163000975.html By presidential edict, President Trump has singled out for criminal prosecution two people who worked in his first administration and spoke out publicly against him. The first is Chris Krebs, chief of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency from 2018 until Trump fired him on Nov. 17, 2020. Krebs publicly contradicted Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Trump has branded Krebs “a significant bad-faith actor” who poses grave “risks” to the American public. The second is Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security employee who publicly criticized Trump in an anonymous book and various media appearances. According to Trump, Taylor, like Krebs poses “risks” to the U.S. and is also a “bad-faith actor” (though not a “significant” bad-faith actor like Krebs) who “stoked dissension” with his public commentary. In a separate set of orders, Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to open criminal investigations of Krebs and Taylor. Such investigations are selective and nonsensical. Once upon a time, we had a Justice Department that acted independently of the president when it came to particular cases. Not any more. Notably absent from Trump’s orders is any plausible theory that either individual committed a federal crime. After all, it is no federal crime to be a “bad-faith actor” or “significant bad-faith actor,” or to “stoke dissension” or even to be a “wise guy,” the words Trump chose to vilify Krebs from the Oval Office. Krebs also stung Trump as a key witness for the Jan. 6 select committee, describing how he worked to secure the 2020 election, rebut conspiracy theories and shore up voters’ confidence in the results. When the legal fixer and Trump mentor Roy Cohn complained that my old boss, the legendary prosecutor Robert M. Morgenthau, was pursuing a vendetta against him, Morgenthau retorted, “A man is not immune from prosecution just because a United States attorney happens not to like him.” What Morgenthau meant was that just because a prosecutor doesn’t like drug dealers or mob bosses or corrupt public officials, he prosecutes them anyway — not because he dislikes them, but because he believes they are guilty of criminal conduct. Selective prosecution is a cancer on the justice system. When Robert Jackson (later a Supreme Court justice) was attorney general, he denounced selective prosecutions in a famous 1940 speech to U.S. attorneys at the Justice Department. “What every prosecutor is practically required to do is to select the cases for prosecution and to select those in which the offense is the most flagrant, the public harm the greatest, and the proof the most certain,” Jackson wrote. “If the prosecutor is obliged to choose his cases, it follows that he can choose his defendants … It is in this realm — in which the prosecutor picks some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies. It is here that law enforcement becomes personal, and the real crime becomes that of being unpopular with the predominant or governing group, being attached to the wrong political views.” Using selective prosecution as a defense rarely succeeds because prosecutors typically don’t take an ad in the newspaper explaining the personal or political animus behind a particular case. But here such an ad would be unnecessary. The telltale evidence, signed by the president on White House letterhead, speaks for itself, and is such that a judge could hardly ignore it. After a mass purge against big law firms, universities and media outlets calculated to throttle criticism, Trump now wants to prosecute individual private citizens for the dissenting views they expressed. So, the Krebs and Taylor cases sail over to Trump’s avenging angel Bondi — without a scintilla of evidence on which to believe a crime might have been committed. Bondi is in the tank for Trump. They go back a long way in Florida where, as attorney general, she declined to sue him over his Trump University fraud. Even former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), at one point selected for Bondi’s job before withdrawing, might have hesitated to weaponize the Justice Department as an instrument of political vindictiveness against two renegade public officials. But Bondi seems unlikely ever to question the orders of her leader. The old saw is that a grand jury is such a rubber stamp for the prosecutor that he or she can convince one to indict a ham sandwich. If Bondi can get a grand jury to indict Krebs or Taylor, the defendants would undoubtedly have a good motion to dismiss the cases for selective prosecution based on Trump’s own bloviating, a dead giveaway of his personal and political motives for ordering Bondi to investigate his political enemies. Trump’s modus operandi is to threaten his opponents with lawsuits and criminal prosecutions, and until now his bark has been worse than his bite. But this time, he may mean it. And Bondi is unlikely to fob him off. She may have taken an oath to support the Constitution, but she has made clear her belief that what is good for Trump is good for the Constitution. Selective prosecutions are destructive of the rule of law. Recall the words of Martin Niemöller, the Lutheran pastor in Nazi Germany, whose “First they came …” quote echoes through the decades. Who will speak for Krebs or Taylor? Will anyone take their case pro bono? Certainly not Big Law. They have only the courage of their retainers. Meanwhile, if you lament what we can do to save our democracy, the rhetorical question may not be so inapt.

Vital dropped points may haunt Maresca as he assesses Chelsea’s daunting run-in https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6276026/2025/04/14/Chelsea-run-in-maresca-dropped-points/ So now it is confirmed: if Chelsea are going to play in the Champions League next season, they are going to have to do it the hard way. It has not exactly looked like plain sailing for Enzo Maresca’s side for several weeks now, but by dropping two points against Ipswich Town, they have put themselves under significantly more pressure to end the campaign very strongly. Every season, you hear the cliche ‘there are no easy games in football’, and Ipswich certainly showed that, getting a 2-2 draw. But it could be argued that this was Chelsea’s last ‘easy’ game of their Premier League campaign given Kieran McKenna’s side are adrift in the bottom three and heading for the Championship. By coming back from two goals down at the interval, Chelsea at least maintained their unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge in 2025. But a look at their list of opponents shows it is not a statistic to get too excited about. This table shows their list of results in the Premier League at home this calendar year and where those opponents currently rank in the top flight: Team Result Current position Bournemouth 2-2 10th Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 16th West Ham United 2-1 17th Southampton 4-0 20th Leicester City 1-0 19th Tottenham 1-0 15th Ipswich Town 2-2 18th Obviously you can only beat what is in front of you and Chelsea have, in the large part, taken advantage of a generous fixture list on home soil to keep themselves in Champions League contention. And it has been required given they last won away in December, a run that surely has to be brought to an end for them to finish in the top five. Chelsea’s dejected players at full time (Crystal Pix/MB Media/Getty Images) The worry has to be that Chelsea’s run-in, and the task to get the necessary points required, is one of the toughest they could face. Maresca’s side have yet to beat a side in the top 10 in 2025. From the current standings, there have been only four wins against a top-10 team all season — Bournemouth, Brighton & Hove Albion, Newcastle United and Aston Villa. The last of which came in the start of December against Unai Emery’s side. This hardly inspires much confidence that Chelsea can get the job done when you look at the games ahead. As this graphic shows, four of Chelsea’s final six matches are against sides in the top half of the table: Team Current position Fulham (a) 8th Everton (h) 13th Liverpool (h) 1st Newcastle (a) 4th Manchester United (h) 14th Nottingham Forest (a) 3rd It is not as if Chelsea can take too much comfort from the two teams in the bottom 10 that they are up against, either. Everton are one of the Premier League’s in-form teams, having lost just one of their last 12 games under David Moyes. Even the most die-hard Manchester United fan will concede they have been terribly disappointing during 2024-25 and that should normally constitute some optimism for Chelsea about getting three points from this fixture. But while in recent years United have been a pale imitation of the club that dominated the top division for many years under Sir Alex Ferguson, they have bizarrely been a very hard team for Chelsea to beat of late. Indeed, Cole Palmer’s late heroics in stoppage time 12 months ago to turn a 3-2 loss into a 4-3 victory ended Chelsea’s run of 12 league games without a win against United. Chelsea rode Palmer’s form this time last year to win their last five games to climb from mid-table to sixth. But he does not look capable right now of providing a similar spark this time around. He has gone 14 games in all competitions without a goal. Striker Nicolas Jackson, who hit the post against Ipswich when the game was still 0-0, is on an 11-match barren streak. Palmer cuts a frustrated figure against Ipswich (Crystal Pix/MB Media/Getty Images) The tension among Chelsea fans is palpable. Boos and groans of discontent are growing louder every game as they can see a possible third successive season without Champions League football becoming more of a possibility. In a year when the standard of England’s top division is not at its highest and yet will get five places in the Champions League because of the UEFA coefficient, Maresca will not be forgiven by some Chelsea supporters if they fall short. The two results against Ipswich (Chelsea lost 2-0 at Portman Road on December 30) are likely to be held against him. To get just one point against a club that has been in the relegation zone for most of the season is what could make all the difference. When Maresca was asked by The Athletic after Sunday’s game if he is worried he might look back on the two fixtures with regret after the Champions League places have been decided, he replied: “Yeah, at the end of the season, we’ll see. Hopefully, not for us. “But from now on, I think us and the other six-to-seven clubs that are involved in the (fight for the) Champions League spots, we are going to win games and at the same time we are going to drop points, because it’s normal. “For sure, probably today you don’t expect to drop points, especially the way you start the game. I think for all of us it was just a matter of when we are going to score and then we concede the goal and it completely changed the dynamic.” Should Chelsea fail to qualify for the Champions League, it will certainly affect how Maresca’s first season in charge will be perceived.
