Trump has campaigned on a wave of retaliatory criminal prosecutions. It’s not the first time he’s promised to lock up his rivals — but a second term would be different.
In the most volatile presidential campaign of the last 50 years, one thing has remained remarkably constant: Donald Trump’s stated intention to prosecute a wide swath of his opponents if he wins the White House.
The list of targets has been growing for years. It includes an array of Trump’s political and legal antagonists — real or perceived — ranging from President Joe Biden and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to Anthony Fauci, the members of the Jan. 6 committee and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Just a few weeks ago, Trump put hundreds — maybe thousands — more of his political opponents in his prosecutorial crosshairs by threatening unnamed Democratic lawyers, political operatives, donors, voters and election officials.
Trump has talked about his plan for a prosecutorial revenge tour in public speeches, press interviews and a litany of social media posts. It is subtly embedded in the official Republican Party platform, which proposes to “hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents.”

Trump can say he's just carrying out the party policy.
It’s not in the platform why assume hard feelings? Why not assume and expect the will 5o move together and make things better for amm citizens? I would do that. Hate destroys you. Try love instead.
I’d like to see Donald go after Schwartz Gyorgy first.
So draining the rats out of the swamp is persecuting your political enemies, not justice for the American people who have been gravely harmed by that lot. Got it.
And Politico says this like it would be a BAD thing???
Drivel.
Trump did not prosecute Hillary, although she certainly seems to be guilty of many things. I think, should the opportunity arise, he will accomplish with legal prosecutions those things that he thinks are most important, and most doable. He has plenty of experience with lawsuits. He knows how to do cost-benefit analysis. I do not think he will be maniacal about it.
This is just ridiculous scaremongering, although I wouldn’t blame him for seeking revenge against the lawfare-wagers.
If he really wants to improve things, he needs to root out all the Obamaites still in the swamp working to thwart him.
Just because Dems pervert everything, they believe the ones harmed will act as they do? I think that is called paranoia?
Check this guy's basement...
As if I need another reason to vote for Trump.
Hey demodogs, I’m here that Gitmo has great weather
Precisely.
Trump can just say he has "no confidence" in the current organizations. For God's sake, they raided his home with automatic rifles and kill orders.
He never jailed Hillary, there is no reason to think he’s going to punish any of these people.
The “coming Trump revenge tour?” I already have the hat, Trump Revenge Tour 2024.
He just needs to the BIDEN RULES currently in place by Investigating every last prominent Democrat until they find a Crime, should be quick and easy since they are all Criminals.
Ankush Khardori sounds concerned.
If they’re not guilty, what are they worried about? Their side has all the high-priced lawyers to defend them.
Well, Politico finally runs a pro-Trump article.
