Media SHOCKED after Trump suggests a GOP president could use Justice Dept. to go after Dems

The Biden DOJ and other Democrats have brought dozens and dozens of charges against the current president's likely challenger in next year's election.

Recently, Trump warned Democrats that it could work the other way around, and the media hyperventilation was immediate. Many outlets reported the story, and here's CBS News' offering:

Trump suggests he or another Republican president could use Justice Department to indict opponents https://t.co/Tv13WeyJ3i

— CBS News (@CBSNews) November 10, 2023

How dare Trump!

I wonder where he got that idea?

— davidfekke (@davidfekke) November 10, 2023

It's a total mystery!

CBS News reports that Trump only "claims" that the Biden White House and other Democrats have weaponized the justice system against him:

Former President Donald Trump mused in an interview Thursday that he or another Republican president could use the Department of Justice to go after and indict political opponents, as he claims his political opponents have done against him.

Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, told Univision News that the so-called "weaponization" of federal law enforcement "could certainly happen in reverse."

Yes, the Democrats certainly hope that they are the ones who can weaponize the DOJ against political opponents but will hyperventilate if it happens the other way around, all with the MSM's help.

So continue Joe’s policy.

Biden administration already doing it. Whats the problem?

— Lou (@TrdrLou) November 10, 2023

The media headline on this should simply be "if elected, Trump plans to keep one Biden policy in place." There would be one difference though:

He was suggesting they could instruct them to go after actual crimes. Not make up crimes like the Biden administration is doing. This administration is breaking all previous norms and has severely damaged the country by doing so.

— Steve (@TypicalDad49) November 10, 2023

This administration has dragged the country down to a point where it'll be hard to recover.

Yep, those are the rules now. Indict the former president. Biden should’ve thought about that before going after Trump.

— Kent Moore (@kentrmoore) November 10, 2023

😂, that’s what the current POTUS is doing. Nice try spin doctors.

— Mortgage Pro (@MortgageSense83) November 10, 2023

They're doing their best.

If they wore red hats the FBI would currently be conducting manhunts for each and every one of them https://t.co/FvtZJQf3KZ

Maybe the Dems didn't think this all the way through.

Somehow, this process is going to continue, and I’m not looking forward to the results, or the unintended consequences. Like using Left tactics to put a thumb on the scale of our elections. Election fraud can be done by both sides, after all.

**********************

Election fraud can be committed by both political parties until the “cows come home.” They do there best to leverage the best results from whatever locality they control.

However, the only organization that can put a “thumb on the scale” and has complete control over elections nationally is the Establishment of the United States.

The EUS has won every election since 1790 and will continue to do so.

2016 rigged for Trump
2020 rigged for Potato Head
2024 rigged for ???

And this is why there will never be a true conservative President in this country again. They know they have set a precedent they may have to live with themselves.

Democrats have lowered the bar for so many precedents. The left tends to think short term and is always caught off guard by the law of unintended consequences later on. Its not always hypocrisy , sometimes its just stupidity.

There aren't enough prisons in the USA to house every demoncrat.

Their corrupted souls can share cells with radical muslims on Guantánamo.

To get the “Justice Department” to go after Democrat corruption and criminal actions... President Trump is going to have to send nearly every Justice Department employee packing.

President Trump would also have to have Congress impeach, convict, and remove all of the leftist federal judges in the country.

Agree. Sad to consider, but even if he overcomes the steal in 2024, Trump will be just a placeholder for 4 years. The dems will steal 2028 and begin hunting us with dogs...Just imagine our country in 10 years...

He never should have let Hillary off. He should have put her and hers under the jail. They saw weakness (kindness, pity) and turned it against us. Never give any quarter to the left.

The marxists thought this through very well.

Since there will be no more Republican presidents, this is a non issue.

Best not to make such threats before winning office. They please the already committed base; but they win no votes and merely frighten the woke into ramping-up their hate activities.

“President Trump is going to have to send nearly every Justice Department employee packing.”

Exactly. Trump can fire every “justice” department lawyer and appoint Marine drill instructors to fill the vacancies.

To: Tell It Right
The failure to fire Federal DAs was a flaw for both the Bushes and Trump. It is time to stop pretending about the so-called rule of law. If elected, Trump should clean the Federal law enforcement agencies of all officials of middle or senior rank and dismiss every last general and admiral. This country will not be secured until the armed services and Federal law enforcement agencies are in the hands of loyal Americans. Those fired will get generous pensions, a better fate than what happened under Stalin's purges to the generals he distrusted.

It’s been how long? Hard to “trust the plan” at this stage. Fingers crossed, still.
