Boyle issued the following statement in response to threats from Donald Trump and Kash Patel to weaponize the Department of Justice against individuals identified on their so-called \u201cenemies list\u201d:\n\n\u201cBy choosing Kash Patel as his FBI Director, Trump has made it clear that he is more focused on settling personal scores than on protecting the American people or upholding the rule of law. Patel has openly published an \u2018enemies list\u2019 in his book, naming individuals he and Trump plan to investigate and prosecute\u2014targeting those who stood up to Trump\u2019s lies, abuses of power, and baseless attempts to overturn the 2020 election. This is no hypothetical threat.\n\nThe people they\u2019re targeting include law enforcement officers, military personnel, and others who have spent their lives protecting this country. These patriots shouldn\u2019t have to live in fear of political retribution for doing what\u2019s right. That\u2019s why I\u2019m urging President Biden to issue a blanket pardon for anyone unjustly targeted by this vindictive scheme.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T22:13:55Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://boyle.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-brendan-boyle-calls-president-biden-issue-blanket-pardon"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5314440242946148, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
