Justitie als politiek wapen: scheiding tussen macht en recht vervaagd

In het najaar van 2025 is in Amerika een reeks strafrechtelijke vervolgingen ingezet tegen drie bekende politieke figuren: James Comey, John Bolton en Letitia James. Alle drie zijn voormalige tegenstanders of critici van Donald Trump. Hun aanklachten lopen uiteen van valsheid in verklaring tot het delen van geheime documenten en financiële fraude. Maar in hun gezamenlijke context roept deze golf van vervolgingen één fundamentele vraag op: wat gebeurt er met een democratie als justitie wordt ingezet als een politiek wapen?
