Several top Democrats, including a few of them who are running for the presidency in 2028, have made no secret about it. They plan on launching new lawfare against President Donald Trump and as many of his administration as they can if the regain power. They don’t want to see him breathe a breath of free air after his next term is over.
That’s what domestic terrorists do. They use the power of the state to prosecute and persecute their political opponents. They can’t win on superior ideas, so if they manage to lie their way back into power, they will use that power to go after Trump. They’ve already said as much.
To that end, Trump’s pick to replace Pam Bondi as head of the Justice Department wants to ensure political prosecutions don’t happen anymore. They began under Biden, and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche knows that more will be coming if a Democrat wins the White House. So he’s making sure they can’t do it:
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says he is already working on ways to prevent what he believes could be another round of politically motivated prosecutions targeting President Donald Trump after he leaves office.
Blanche made the remarks during an interview with NewsNation released Thursday, just hours after Trump announced he would formally nominate him to become the nation’s next attorney general on a permanent basis. …
During the interview, NewsNation host Katie Pavlich referenced Blanche’s previous claim that Trump likely would have faced prison time had he lost the 2024 election.
Pavlich also pointed to comments from prominent Democrats who have suggested members of the Trump administration could face investigations or prosecution if Democrats regain control of the White House.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, for example, told The New York Times earlier this year that officials who broke the law should face both criminal and civil consequences.
Pavlich asked Blanche whether he believes Democrats could attempt to target Trump, his family, administration officials, or even federal law enforcement personnel after the president leaves office.
Blanche did not hesitate.
“I believe it’s a possibility that the Democrats will go after President Trump, his family, anybody that knows him, anybody that worked for him,” Blanche said.
“I think they’ve proven that to be true.”
He then revealed that efforts are already underway to prevent such actions from occurring in the future.
“And what can we do about it?” Blanche asked. “We can just keep on exposing when we learn about the weaponization that happened for many years. We can keep on exposing it and putting roadblocks in place so it never happens again.”
He didn’t elaborate on what the “roadblocks” would look like, but whatever they are, they will have to be strong and final enough to withstand what we know is coming from the next Democrat president.
I know Trump’s Justice Department has attempted to prosecute a couple of people who went after him during his first administration. And I suppose you could call that ‘weaponizing’ the Justice Department. But if these individuals broke the law trying to “get” Trump, then they should have to answer for that. After all, former Trump national security adviser John Bolton just pleaded guilty to mishandling classified information.
The difference between the Biden and Trump DOJ is that the Biden DOJ literally fabricated ‘crimes’ to ‘go after’ Trump. And based on what losers like Pritzker have said, the next Democrat president will do the same thing.
Good on Blanche for trying to prevent that.
