Trump is way out of line by claiming the op-ed threatened national security and urging the Justice Department to investigate.
That would be an abuse of power, because there is no evidence that the author of the op-ed violated the law, as I discussed in @POLITICOMag: https://t.co/Aoawf78ZpM https://t.co/13OBDrsBsn

Unbelievable split-screen moment: TRUMP just told reporters he wants the Justice Department to investigate who wrote the anti-Trump op-ed in the NY Times. Meanwhile, OBAMA just condemned those who "pressure the attorney general or the FBI" to punish their political opponents.
