President Donald Trump may be preparing to send the Department of Justice after another one of his political opponents. Conservative attorney George Conway is arguing that Americans shouldn't see it as anything legitimate, but rather simply one more example of the president carrying out his campaign promise of retribution against his enemies.

During a Friday segment on MSNBC's "The Briefing," host Jen Psaki noted that the New York Times published a new report showing that the Trump administration had subpoenaed records pertaining to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' official travel. According to the Times, it's not clear whether Willis herself is the target of the subpoena, or if she'll end up facing any criminal charges. Conway said the details are less important than Willis being named in the subpoena.

"It's the revenge tour. She's on the list, obviously, and so they're looking for things to find on her. And I guess maybe they think she did something wrong with her reporting of expenses, I don't know," Conway said. "I mean, who knows what this is? And who knows whether it's going to make any sense?"

Willis is best known for her prosecution of Trump for alleged election interference in Georgia in 2020 before the case was put on hold after his reelection last year. She recently lost her appeal to remain on the case after she was removed for having a romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. The new federal subpoena into Willis' travel records comes on the heels of Trump's DOJ announcing the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts.

Conway pointed out that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan just barely managed to secure the indictment against Comey, and no other federal prosecutors in her office helped her argue the case before the grand jury. While one of the three charges she brought to the grand jury was thrown out, she also nearly failed to charge Comey on the other two counts, with jurors almost even split on the decision.

"Now somebody's got to go into that courtroom before a federal judge and prove in front of a jury beyond a reasonable doubt something she couldn't ... show probable cause for," Conway said. "Which is just a very, very low standard."

"This indictment is just quintessentially Trumpian," he added. "It is both breathtakingly corrupt and mind-blowingly stupid."
