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...

UnConstitutionally appointed “Special Counsel”.
This article is drivel.
The current DOJ is all about using their perverted Law to go after non-Commie enemies of the DOJ.
[Approx. 1/2 of America.]
So now leftists lay awake at night hoping that the intelligence agencies don’t pay for their crimes? What on earth has happened to these people???
NYT believes only Leftists can campaign on a threat to prosecute someone (Bragg on Trump?)...
It’s not retribution or paybacks, it’s actual justice. These swamp critters made crap up to go after Trump endlessly. When there’s credible evidence of lawlessness, it needs to be prosecuted.
If they broke the law, so be it.
Now another million votes will go to Trump.
Biden’s lawfare campaign has set the standard. Anyone can be charged with something. There is a definitely a law on the books that can be twisted to indict anyone. If there is no law, we’ll make one up. Then the punishment is the process. Once Trump takes control of the DOJ, he has unlimited resources to target anyone he wants. I hope he starts with pecker puss Pelosi.
Isn’t malicious prosecution a crime? Garland and his minions should be and will be very worried if Trump wins.
Unfortunately, the evildoers live in areas where the juries would be highly Democratic.
The DoJ lawyers have skills not easily found elsewhere.
The FBI can be cut back a lot, hopefully:

I’ll let others worry about understanding RIF regulations.
The hypocrisy is amazing. Many said to lock her up but no real effort was ever made to do so.
Biden and his allies have been going after Republicans non-stop the last 4 years.
Uh, NYT, have you been alive during Pedo Joe’s reign?
At least Trump’s DOJ might be run by competent lawyers...as opposed to the kindergarten clown show currently in place.
Eff you, your family, and the sewer you oozed from.
Journalism - when you failed your frosh studies class.
Legal experts? You mean lawyers? Well I’m a lawyer and I say there’s nothing to worry about. Where’s my check?
Perhaps Smith might need to repay what he was paid by Garland’s DoJ.
“He’s threatening to do to us what we are doing to him!!! He’s literally Hitler!!!”
Sounds like the same rules Biden is using...
If Smith was illegally hired, I think it only fair that Smith reimburse Trump for Trump’s lawyers’ fees in dealing with Smith.
“I will snatch their patent, so that we [the American government] will take over. And, yes, we can do that! Yes! Yes, we can do that! Yes, we can do that! It’s the question is, do you have the will do it? I have the will do it!”
“I support a mandatory buyback program.”
“I’m open to this conversation about extending the number of people on the United States Supreme Court, about increasing the number of people on the United States Supreme Court.”
“The power I have as a prosecutor is that with the swipe of my pen, I can charge someone with a misdemeanor. The lowest level offense possible. And by virtue of that swipe of my pen, you will have to go to a courthouse and stand in line, you will have to come out of pocket and hire an attorney, you may get arrested for a few hours, you will be embarrassed in your community, you will miss time from coming onto the Google campus, all because with the swipe of my pen I charged you with a crime, which I may choose to dismiss two weeks later. It’s an incredible amount of power.”
Kamala: “Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible.”

“there has to be, a, uh, er, uh, a responsibility that is placed on these social media sites to understand their power. They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of, of, of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop.”
At least Trump’s DOJ might be run by competent lawyers...as opposed to the kindergarten clown show currently in place.
That is why they are terrified !
