Trump Adds 3 More Names to the List of Enemies He Wants the Justice Department To Prosecute
Jacob Sullum
Thu, October 16, 2025
"Deranged Jack Smith, in my opinion, is a criminal," President Donald Trump said during a
in the Oval Office on Wednesday. The sentiment was not new: Everyone knows that Trump has a grudge against Smith, the former special counsel who obtained two federal indictments against him, which Trump described as "the worst weaponization" of the justice system "in the history of the world." But the fact that the president offered his assessment of Smith alongside three top federal law enforcement officials—Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel—made it seem more like marching orders than his usual airing of grievances.
Bondi, Blanche, and Patel are all Trump loyalists who previously worked for him personally. Bondi served on Trump's defense team during his first impeachment. Blanche represented him during his 2024 criminal trial in New York. Patel—the author of children's books detailing the travails of the wise and just "King Donald," who is able to triumph over his evil enemies with the help of "a wizard called Kash the Distinguished Discoverer"—served as a campaign surrogate and a go-between during the dispute over the presidential records that Trump took when he left the White House in January 2021. But in their current positions, Bondi, Blanche, and Patel are supposed to be working for the American people, and before their Senate confirmations all three promised to pursue justice rather than revenge.
How is that going? The dubious perjury indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, who earned a prominent spot on Trump's enemies list by overseeing the investigation of alleged ties between his 2016 campaign and the Russian government, came just five days before the statutory deadline and five days after the president publicly told Bondi that "we can't delay any longer." That Truth Social missive also mentioned the need to prosecute another Trump nemesis, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who last week was charged with mortgage fraud in an indictment obtained by the same neophyte prosecutor: Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump lawyer whom he appointed as the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after her predecessor proved insufficiently enthusiastic about pursuing cases against Comey and James.
Bondi and Blanche reportedly were also privately skeptical about the viability of those cases. The president nevertheless got what he wanted, which suggests the same thing could happen with Smith, regardless of Trump's inability to explain exactly what crime the former special counsel supposedly committed.
Trump alluded to an October 8
at University College London in which Smith defended his work on criminal cases that charged Trump with mishandling classified material after he left office and with illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Smith's interviewer at that event was former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann, which reminded Trump that Weissmann also is "a bad guy" who probably should be prosecuted for something. "I hope they're gonna look into Weissmann too," he said.
Weissmann earned Trump's ire by participating in the Russia probe as part of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team. And while Trump was on the subject of people who had wronged him in one way or another, he added that Lisa Monaco, deputy attorney general during the Biden administration, likewise "should be looked at very strongly." Monaco, Trump explained, was Weissmann's "puppet," so she also should be punished.
"There was tremendous criminal activity," Trump averred. "You're talking about political crime….I hope they're looking at political crime because there's never been so much political crime against a political opponent as what I had to go through."
New York Timesreporter Glenn Thrush notes that Bondi, Blanche, and Patel "smiled, nodded and shuffled in place" as their boss suggested that the Justice Department should find charges to pin on Smith, Weissmann, and Monaco. But not to worry: Patel, during his confirmation hearing, promised there would be "no politicization at the FBI" and "no retributive actions" against the president's enemies.
Patel felt a need to offer those assurances because in 2023 he had published a book, Government Gangsters, that included an appendix listing 60 "Members of the Executive Branch Deep State," whom he described as "corrupt actors of the first order." Weissmann and Monaco were both on that list. Smith did not make the cut, possibly because he did not obtain the first indictment of Trump until June 2023, after Patel had finished his manuscript.
In any case, Patel assured the senators who confirmed him that, notwithstanding his promise to "come after" the anti-Trump "conspirators," he would not use his powers in service of the president's personal vendettas. Patel nevertheless portrayed the Comey indictment as a response to the "Russiagate Hoax," even though the charges against him were legally unrelated to that investigation.
Like Patel, Bondi was confirmed after promising to be guided by the facts and the law rather than the president's grudges. "The partisanship, the weaponization, will be gone," she declared. "America will have one tier of justice for all….There will never be an enemies list within the Department of Justice."
Blanche sang the same tune during his confirmation hearing. "Politics should never play a role in the Department of Justice," he said. "We will work to restore the American people's faith in our justice system."
Whether or not Bondi and Blanche meant those words when they said them, the president plainly does not share the vision they described. "They're all guilty as hell," Trump said in the Truth Social rant addressed to Bondi, which mentioned Adam Schiff, the not-yet-indicted Democratic senator from California (whom Trump also mentioned on Wednesday), along with Comey and James—a list to which he has now added three more names. Guilty of what? The Justice Department's job, as Trump sees it, is to figure that out.

BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): General, your name is mentioned in these documents. You've been on our program for years. You've been writing books. You've been crying out from the wilderness about what they did to you. What a remarkable moment. And the floor is yours. The landscape has been set. General, what do you see happening next?
MICHAEL FLYNN (GUEST): Yeah. Well, a couple of things. I — and I have made this recommendation that I think that all of these people that are involved, starting with Obama on down, they all ought to have their passports revoked, and people need to be checking private airplanes and private airfields for anybody trying to abscond the country and get the heck out of dodge here. So, that's number one.
I do think that just as was done to President Trump, when they when they raided his home at Mar-a- Lago because they thought that there was — and they planted evidence there in that case — but I do think that what the DOJ should be considering, if not getting ready to conduct, is a raid of Barack Obama's home up there at Kalorama, in Washington DC where he's been since he left — you know, physically left the White House. You know, he's been running the White House, you know, all during the Biden regime.
And I do think that there's some other places that need to be raided where there are likely, you know, a lot of evidence, a lot of receipts, so to speak, in many of these people that are part of the Obama White House as well as the Biden White House. I mean, I just heard the great David Schoen talking about the former deputy attorney general of Monaco who also was the homeland security adviser to Barack Obama. So that's number one. That's — those are, you know, things that need to be considered right now. And I'm — I was ready to wake up this morning to hear about some of these raids that should have been going on.
There should, as a minimum, be a task force assembled by — of federal law enforcement authorities as well as a assigned dedicated, you know, prosecutor at the DOJ level, at the attorney general level, someone who is working directly for her and for the president of the United States. This has gotta happen very quickly.

BENNY JOHNSON (HOST): Final question, general. Since you are a military man, you rose to the highest conceivable ranks within the military and within the civilian structure in the White House. Your credentials are impeccable. When Stephen Miller calls this a seditious conspiracy, when Tulsi Gabbard calls it a traitorous act, treason against our country — those seem like legal terms, but also really military terms. And since Barack Obama was the commander-in-chief, what angle would it be to go at this from a military perspective? Perhaps you could explain what is treason and seditious conspiracy mean from a military perspective. Would you advise them to go after them on those terms?
MICAHEL FLYNN (GUEST): I would. I absolutely would. I would advise them to go after on those terms and make sure that they have them locked in tight in terms of the legalities.
But what I want people to understand is, you know, after World War II, we had the Nuremberg trials, and there was a lot of people that were found guilty. And because they stood at — when they got on the stand, they said, well, I was just following orders. Well, Jim Clapper, John Brennan, Jim Comey, Susan Rice, Sally Yates, and many others, Lisa Monaco, many, many others, you're not gonna get away with it.
If Barack Obama directed you, and it appears that he did — this is very intentional. This eight December 2016 meeting that they had where it looks like — which was something that was not on my radar, Benny. So this is a new piece of evidence that Tulsi has exposed.
That to me, you know, in addition to some of the other critical criminal evidence that has been discovered, yeah, I think that they're gonna have to look at conspiracy, treason, traitorous activities by some of these people and particularly starting at the very top, and that would be Barack Obama.
They were ready to convict and throw Donald Trump in prison for the rest of his life, Benny. And so, you know, all bets are off when it comes to immunity. There's no immunity for this president, not for President Obama for what he did.
JOHNSON: Could you have a military tribunal for the commander-in-chief?
FLYNN: I'm not — you know, I don't know. But, you know, but it'd ought to be explored, Benny. It should be explored.
