One of my friends says, “nah…. but maybe.”
Another friend suggests it would be a logical jump.
Might Matt Gaetz be getting involved in this as special prosecutor?
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.
Asked about Trump’s plans to fire prosecutors on Smith’s team and investigate the 2020 election, a Trump spokeswoman echoed the president-elect’s frequent claim that the Justice Department cases against him were politically motivated.
“President Trump campaigned on firing rogue bureaucrats who have engaged in the illegal weaponization of our American justice system, and the American people can expect he will deliver on that promise,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “One of the many reasons that President Trump won the election in a landslide is Americans are sick and tired of seeing their tax dollars spent on targeting the Biden-Harris Administration’s political enemies rather than going after real violent criminals in our streets.”
Trump still speaks frequently about the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden but continues to insist was stolen from him in key battlegrounds. And he has maintained from the start that Smith’s investigations into his efforts to reverse his defeat — as well as his alleged mishandling of classified documents after he left the White House — are examples of the weaponization of government against him that must be avenged.
As he again becomes president, Trump “wants to clean out ‘the bad guys, the people who went after me,’” said one of the individuals familiar with the plans, who like the other person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations about the incoming Trump administration.
The person noted that the idea of assembling investigative teams of federal agents and prosecutors in battleground states is less well-formed and “not at the top of the list” — unlike the president-elect’s oft-proclaimed desire to clean house at the Justice Department. Trump reiterated that goal on Thursday, after his first pick for attorney general, former congressman Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration.
“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans,” Trump wrote when announcing his new pick, longtime ally Pam Bondi, in a post on Truth Social. “Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again.”
It’s not clear how quickly or easily Trump could fire career staff, including the prosecutors who worked for Smith on the classified-documents and election-obstruction cases. Appeals on several fronts delayed the cases from going to trial before the November election, and Justice Department policy prohibits prosecuting sitting presidents. Smith is expected to submit court filings in both cases on Dec. 2 explaining how he plans to wind them down.
Before Trump left office in 2021, he passed an executive order known as the “Schedule F” rule, which would have reclassified huge swaths of career government employees and made it easier to fire them. Biden reversed that order when he entered the White House, and his administration finalized rules through the Office of Personnel Management bolstering protections for career staffers.
Trump has vowed to reinstate the Schedule F rule, however. Even if he succeeds, legal experts said it could take years to implement the new rule, as the untested issue of firing masses of federal workers makes its way through the courts.
“The protections that Biden put in will help, but it will be a fight,” said Rushab Sanghvi, acting general counsel of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents some Justice Department employees — though not prosecutors.
Good thought and use for Gaetz………
Bottom line: either permanently remove the politics from the DOJ or remove the DOJ…………..
I keep hearing that Military trials have been going on for quite awhile now, and that the EBS will be activated very soon and broadcast these trials 24/7 for all the sheeple to see. And then there is this report: https://realrawnews.com/2024/11/deep-stater-jack-smith-convicted-of-treason-and-executed-at-gitmo/
Ergo, why does the charade have to continue anymore? Why do we have to keep pretending that all these doubles running around DC are even needed anymore?
Beware of clickbait stories. Many are written/published to convince us of falsehoods we might want badly to believe. Especially the ones that can’t be proven. Real Raw News is among them.
I couldn’t pass this one up.
The clown crew at the Washington Compost yet again epitomizes the abstract stupidity of libtard mouthpieces deeply infected with the woke mind virus.
Maybe it’s just that they have selective vision when scanning ‘X’ for “Trumpists” or “Qanon”.
The amount of posts with testimony, screenshots of expert verified documented proof, hundreds if not thousands of attorneys, patriots who have spent years neck-deep in actual proof of electronic voting machines designed to manipulate votes and undeniable documentation proof of traitorous, crooked Governors, Secretaries of State and elections officials rigging elections saturates the feed on ‘X’.
Add to that all of the captured internet data by the Space Force including the physically captured Italian Leonardo computer equipment and the massive files of Chinas’ election interference by the CCP PLA top intel chief General Dong turned over when he defected to the U.S. several years ago.
There’s going to be so much ‘standing’ that none of the crooked judges will be able to do anything except stay sat on their fat asses and admit to the blatant TREASON and pass judgement on all of the criminals involved.
Not to mention all of the so-called ‘judgements’ paid to Dominion and their connected co-conspirators that will be reversed.
It may be too much to hope for but if they are tried in military tribunals for TREASON the criminals would meet their ends much, much faster.
This is gonna be a wonderful pleasure to watch those clowns get what is coming to them.
To again quote Samuel Jackson in the movie “Pulp Fiction”, “Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord”.

God will punish our enemies. We will arrange the meetings.
Yes, we will. I can’t wait.
