This is part of where I have to wonder if Trump realizes how things look sometimes. I'm not saying his DOJ should consider this if it's appropriate, but the optics are horrible.

The government has already been weaponized.  If one is---supposedly---in charge, and have already been subjected to said weaponization,  showing that the shoe can also be jammed on the other foot is useful in pushing back that weaponization, much as unexpectedly punching back a schoolyard bully may...encourage him...to alter his prior pattern of conduct.
