The resources of the federal government

You think the nasty guy demonizing Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign was bad? In the 2020 race he’ll have the resources of the federal government to help him destroy the Democratic nominee. That’s what Paul Waldman at the Washington Post said. For example:

Do you think Trump would hesitate for an instant before telling [Attorney General William] Barr to open an investigation of the Democratic nominee for president? And given everything we've seen from Barr, do you think he’d refuse that order?

Melissa McEwan of Shakesville added:

And of course much of the political press is going to assist Trump in leveraging the power of the U.S. federal government to destroy his opponent(s), under the auspices of "campaign coverage," without clear indication of the role they are playing in undermining the integrity of both U.S. elections and the very U.S. government itself.
