As a candidate for president once again, Donald Trump could not be clearer about his plans to use the Justice Department to seek revenge against his enemies. During his 2016 campaign, his rallies exploded with the chant “Lock Her Up.” Now Trump talks about ordering prosecutions against so many people that his threats have become commonplace. “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences,” Trump posted online in September about election administrators, among others. It’s just one example in a long list that extends to President Biden and his family, Vice President Kamala Harris, members of Congress, prosecutors, judges and former F.B.I., Department of Justice and national-security officials.
Trump, of course, also says that he’s currently the victim of political prosecution by the Biden administration. Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, charged Trump in Florida for refusing to return classified documents and in Washington for trying to overturn the 2020 election. State prosecutors, both Democrats, brought election-related charges in Georgia and convicted Trump in New York of a hush-money scheme to influence the 2016 election. In his telling, all the cases are witch hunts by “Politicized ‘Persecutors.’” Retorting to Harris at their debate in September, Trump said: “They talk about democracy: I’m a threat to democracy. They’re the threat to democracy — with the fake Russia Russia Russia investigation that went nowhere.”
But there is a fundamental difference between the investigations Trump threatens and the ones he’s now subject to. There is no known evidence that Biden instigated these investigations or has tried to influence their outcome. Garland has given Smith authority over how to proceed in the investigations of Trump — and also appointed different special counsels to...

Mark Levin for special prosecutor
OMG! Trump might do exactly what we’ve been doing! What a calamity that will be!
LOL. All legal experts, huh?
Did they interview the legal experts who are anxiously awaiting a Trump presidency?
“If they broke the law, so be it.”
Because noone is above the law, except deep state members and Democrats.
This is the very definition of Irony and these morons have no sense of awareness.
“there is no known evidence”
The rallying cry of every psychopath.
Yup they are terrified not of lawfare, but of the law
As always the left projects
this is a primo example of “manufactured news” (aka: propaganda)
anyone could round up a few rogue “experts” to say almost anything (with or without paying them) — there are 6000 colleges in USA plus tons of self-styled “political experts” and — Lord help us — 1,300,000 attorneys —
in short, another NYT election propaganda Fraud
“A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or Fraud.” George Orwell
Biden Harris Law fare prosecuted innocent people including Trump.
Trump wants to prosecute criminals.
Tina Peters is going to prison for facing down an election-rigging Commie secretary of Soros in Colorado.
Hammer, meet Nail.
Nail, this is Hammer.
Y'all have fun now.
It’s just payback to Democrats who politicized the justice system.
“The DoJ lawyers have skills not easily found elsewhere.”
I see zero evidence of that. And there are a thousand ways to charge them in conservative areas. One easy example... Jack Smith’s crimes and raid on Mar-a-Lago happened in Florida.
Mark Levin would make a heck of a Chief of Staff.
Chief staff and press secretary.
“GET OFF THE PHONE YOU BIG DOPE!”
Speaking of a second Trump presidency, nope—I don’t want CCP-allied employers taking up shop in the US:
There is no known evidence that Biden instigated these investigations or has tried to influence their outcome.
In the fwiw department, Jack Smith lacks jurisdiction.
I gotta tell ya, the epitome of irony is the Biden DoJ and FBI are investigating both attempted assassination on president Trump.
Think about it, every democrat, DNC, corporate media, CIA, NSA already have blood on their hands. Beirut, Benghazi, Afghanistan,etc.
JFK?
Trump’s ear for starters. There will be another attempt on the president’s life.

“...prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law,”
What part of that bespeaks a dictator? He is talking about doing what is legal. The whiners are crying about what they know they DESERVE, not what Trump is saying.
“Donald Trump could not be clearer about his plans to use the Justice Department to seek revenge against his enemies“”…”
That would be illegal on the face of it and actionable. Any prosecutor going along with such an attempt would themselves be subject to arrest and prosecution.
The only people a TrumpDOJ could prosecute would be those who had committed some crime or broken some law.
