'Saying quiet parts out loud': Trump admin blasted for 'giving away the game' on vengeance
Donald Trump's administration has a tendency to "give away the game" by "saying the quiet parts out loud," according to a MSNBC panel.
Eugene Daniels, the co-host of MSNBC's "The Weekend" and a Senior Washington Correspondent for the network, opened the show Sunday morning by covering "the Trump administration's tendency of saying the quiet parts out loud."
Specifically, Daniels noted Trump's pardon attorney Ed Martin, who "likely gave away the game" when he said he would name and shame targets of investigations, even if an individual cannot be criminally charged.
"Over these past few months, we've seen this DOJ name a number of Trump's perceived enemies as targets of investigations," Daniels added, specifically tying things to the recent raid of the home of former Trump official John Bolton.
"The latest to be added to the list, Trump's former national security adviser, John Bolton, after Friday's FBI search of his home and office. At the moment, we don't know what evidence the administration may have against Bolton and the rest. There's very well could be cases to be made, but if that were true, then something else would likely not have occurred: the public spectacles made around these investigations, coming from DOJ's leadership, that seems more performative, potentially."
Daniels goes on to suggest that Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and other officials similarly gave away the game with their social media posts about the Bolton FBI raid.
