The plans show how president-elect Donald Trump wants to use the Justice Department to address his own personal grievances

President-elect Donald Trump plans to fire the entire team that worked with special counsel Jack Smith to pursue two federal prosecutions against the former president, including career attorneys typically protected from political retribution, according to two individuals close to Trump’s transition.

Trump is also planning to assemble investigative teams within the Justice Department to hunt for evidence in battleground states that fraud tainted the 2020 election, one of the people said.

The proposals offer new evidence that Trump’s intention to dramatically shake up the status quo in Washington is likely to focus heavily on the Justice Department, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, and that at least some of his agenda is fueled not by ideology or policy goals but personal grievance.

Trump needs to be aggressive and on the offensive or they will bury him.

And the 2024 “election”, where the DemoScum stole 4 of the 5 contested US Senate seats in the swing states, and tried to steal the fifth one, too.

Like your false god Obama said, “We won.” Biden used the DOJ as his personal political henchmen to go after Trump and all conservatives. Your rules now it is our turn to go after you.

Trump is the executive branch invested with sole authority, no bureaucrat is immune nor above the president, they all serve at the president’s pleasure, we are not run by the bureaucracy moron.

Idiocy.

So only Trump has a “personal grievance” in whether leftists fraudulently added millions of illegal votes to the 2020 election totals. Noe one else in the country has even the slightest reason or interest in there being any further investigation into this issue.

Washington Post, take your biased and slanted take and shove it where the sun don’t shine!

Personal grievance. Right. Guess I also have a personal grievance about 2020 and everything else that happened.

In a sane world, this headline would be: President Trump Plans To Follow The Rule Of Law.

DemocRATS, DemoKKKrats, and RINOs most affected by this latest development.

Clinton fired 93 US attorneys upon his election and no one in the media complained.

“his own personal grievances”

What BS. Garland expanded the weaponization of the DOJ that Obama started. He deployed lawfare to ruin Trump with Smith on the tip of the spear. This is about RESTORING the Republic and the rule of law, not about “personal grievances.”

Grant pardons to everyone and their uncle, so they cannot refuse to testify. Getting the information out is more important than prosecuting individuals.

Examine the communications around Nancy Pelosi before and after January 6, 2021, especially he communications with Gen Milley.

Subpoena all of the video footage taken by Alexandra Pelosi, particularly the outtakes, of her Mother on January 6, 2021.

Agree. But, it is ok to fire them first.

My hope is to find the words “agency bloodbath” in 80% of WaPo four-author articles by late spring 2025. 😁
