The FDNY has confirmed that it is investigating firefighters who booed and shouted at Letitia James during an event, emphasizing that the probe is focused on professionalism rather than politics. The FDNY, like the NYPD, prioritizes saving lives regardless of political affiliations. The investigation has sparked debate about freedom of speech in America.
Meanwhile, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has requested an investigation by the DOJ's inspector general into special counsel Jack Smith. Gaetz alleges that Smith is attempting to expedite a trial against Donald Trump before the November election, potentially violating DOJ policies against election interference.
Gaetz criticized the focus on identifying FDNY members who booed Tish James while illegal activities by some individuals in New York City go unchecked. He highlighted the dedication of FDNY members to New York City and criticized what he perceives as a politically motivated pursuit of President Trump.
Regarding the DOJ's handling of the upcoming trial, Gaetz expressed concerns about potential election interference and urged the inspector general to examine the coordination between the DOJ and efforts targeting Trump. He accused Jack Smith of prioritizing political outcomes over legal considerations.
Gaetz referenced past instances of election interference and emphasized the need for the inspector general to investigate Smith's actions. He criticized the timing of the trial, scheduled during an election year, and raised doubts about the fairness of proceedings in New York, Washington, D.C., and Fulton County.
The developments surrounding the FDNY investigation and Gaetz's call for an inquiry into Jack Smith's conduct highlight ongoing debates about political influence in legal proceedings and the importance of upholding impartiality in the justice system.
