Media SHOCKED after Trump suggests a GOP president could use Justice Dept. to go after Dems
Twitchy.com ^ | 11/10/2023 | Doug P

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.

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.

"Shocked"??? BS! They're feigned outrage is just the unexpected turn of the tables for what they've been doing already!

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.

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.

the democrats are experts at selective outrage.

they screamed and they cried when there was a hint that Trump would ask the AG to try to shorten the endless Mueller probe.

but years later, they turn a blind eye to incessant politicaly motivated attacks by the DoJ

Unlike Trump, the DemoMarxistNazis have actually committed crimes. #1 above all else, I want to see ALL involved in the coup attempt against Trump indicted. They damn well knew the dossier was fake, the Russia collusion accusation was 100% BS, yet they went ahead ANYWAY to remove a fairly elected President.

But ABOVE ALL that, I want to see that effin bitch from the lowest bowels of hell Hillary indicted and locked up for life. She damn well knows she lost 2016 because she refused to campaign while Trump was out there every day busting his butt. She thought she was going to win because she expected the election was going to be fixed that's why she posted this on Twitter a week before the election.....(the comment on the bottom "Hillary4prison" was my account. It lasted about a day before it was banned)

Certain left-wing crazies have been real slow learners. Left-wingers don't like it when their tactics are used against their interests. They bitch and moan...but do they stop?

What Trump proposed is nothing new. The difference is that arrow of application would be turned around.

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.

True that. Clinton fired every federal DA. Bush didn't. Obama did. Trump didn't.

Holy Ratings.....media hyperventilation was immediate. Many of them aired the story, but CBS News’ was the corker: “Trump suggests he or another Republican president could use Justice Department to indict opponents.” https://t.co/Tv13WeyJ3i — CBS News (@CBSNews) November 10, 2023

Reality Check

The media headline should have said: “There would be one difference: Trump was suggesting they’d go after actual crimes. Not make up crimes like Biden is doing”....upsetting all previous norms and severely damaging the justice system.

Totally, you can't have one side abuse the system and then the other side play nice. When the Dems goes nuclear the other side must as well until and unless there are safeguards. Frankly, it's too late to prosecute Hillary, But I'd be all over the Biden administration.

Trump didn’t ‘let’ hillary off...

The media are as bad as Biden if not worse they have been going after Trump form the day he said he would run for office.

The cover up every F/U Biden has caused from day one Marxism on the march.

Respectfully disagree. President Trump will be blocked at every turn just like last time. He has no loyalty among his appointees...none. Look at hunter biden. That jack-off should be in jail, yet here we are. If he were a republican, he would be in prison, just like the J6 unfortunates...but he’s a dem..and protected. You think Trump can get scum like him...not a chance.
Trump will win, but will have no support from congress, or the judiciary.
A more basic question concerns voting for our Senators or House reps. They obviously don’t care enough about the country or us to stop this madness...so why should we vote for them? I won’t.
