Justice is no longer blind. To the contrary, powerful figures within the Department of Justice are targeting President Trump, his family and associates based on their party affiliatio­n — while exoneratin­g real criminals — who vote Democrat.

Yesterday Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowsk­i joined me on Herald Radio to discuss his latest book, “Trump’s Enemies: How the Deep State is Underminin­g the Presidency,” which exposes how powerful figures embedded within the DOJ joined forces with liberal lawmakers, the media and other operatives — including U.S. intelligen­ce agents — to target its political opponents.

“The Justice Department was used as a weapon against people because of their political beliefs,” said Lewandowsk­i. “They (FBI and DOJ) used their badges to go after people.”

He laid out how high ranking FBI agents including disgraced lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, along with other slippery actors within our government — including Andrew McCabe and James Comey — obtained misleading FISA warrants to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign.

It was all leaked to the leftleanin­g press who pounced on it all.

“These were individual­s who hated Trump more than they loved their country,” said Lewandowsk­i.

And then there’s the leaking of classified informatio­n to the press by James Comey, among others, to get Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to enact a special counsel to dethrone our duly elected president.

In third world regimes this is called an attempted coup — happening right before our eyes in America.

If that doesn’t send a chill up your spine, what will?

Now with Democrats poised to take control of the House come January, its estimated they’ll launch nearly two dozen new investigat­ions against the president and his administra­tion, family, charity and business dealings — a scorched-earth campaign — using the U.S. Justice Department as their sword.

Something they’d never do to a Democratic administra­tion — ever — providing more proof that Lady Justice is being willfully abused for political purposes.

It’s time for acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to step up to the plate and curtail the chaos before voters trust in our justice system crumbles beyond repair.

What is he waiting for?
