The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson argues that the Trump DOJ exists mainly to protect Donald Trump by targeting his enemies, shielding the Epstein files and related tapes, and blocking investigations such as the one involving Zorro Ranch, while also using antitrust actions against TV networks in ways he sees as tied to media consolidation and foreign money. He then shifts to election politics, saying Democrats are gaining momentum and could flip the Senate and House, with possible wins in places like North Carolina, Texas, Alaska, and other states, driven by strong candidates, Republican scandals, and a broader “blue wave” fueled by early voting and rising turnout among Latino and Black voters.
