"HABERMAN: I believe that it was intended for her private consumption and then he reposted it afterwards. Because he never acknowledges a mistake and always doubles down. You know, I don't think that that was meant to be a rallying cry that the entire general public heard. But once it was, he leaned into it and he told reporters at the White House, you know, they have to act and they have to act fast."
"COOPER: Yes, I mean, there's such a thing as vindictive prosecution and a lot of the legal professionals I've been talking to are saying if ever there was a case, this is a case which maybe could be made given the President's statements and also that that post."
"COOPER: Is it clear to you if that that post he made, to citing address to Pam, was that meant to be a post? It ended up being taken down. It seemed almost you know, I mean, it would seem he called her Pam, it seemed almost like a note. Do you know anything about that?"
President Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi via a Truth Social post and remarks to reporters urging action against perceived enemies. The Comey indictment followed, with Comey pledging to fight the charges in court. Observers and legal professionals noted that Trump’s repeated public attacks and the targeted post could strengthen a defense claim of vindictive prosecution. Haberman characterized the post as likely intended privately but later amplified, saying Trump’s pattern of doubling down has provided material Comey’s lawyers can use to argue against the prosecution’s motives.
