As a citizen who did NOT vote for Donald J. Trump to be president, there is one aspect of his new presidency that I greatly look forward to. For years, claims by Trump and his supporters about criminal activity and lawlessness have been made against all manner of public officials and civil servants. These are allegations of CRIMES, and when found to be true, should be punished.
I’m very much for Law and Order, and now that Trump is getting his team together, I expect we’ll see a flood of activity FINALLY proving the charges made. No longer will the Trump people be able to claim the “deep state” is preventing them from prosecuting the law. I expect SOON to see very high profile investigations, charges, indictments, and convictions against those we have been told have committed crimes.
In an All-Caps Truth Social post, Trump said, “I WILL APPOINT A REAL SPECIAL ‘PROSECUTOR’ TO GO AFTER THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA, JOE BIDEN, AND THE ENTIRE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY.”
“The 2024 Election … will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, and pledged he would imprison anyone who engaged in “unscrupulous behavior” during the election, accusing Democrats of “rampant Cheating and Skullduggery.”
Trump promised he will assemble investigative teams within the Justice Department to hunt for evidence in battleground states that FRAUD tainted the 2020 election.
“Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
Trump has repeatedly pledged to jail reporters who don’t identify confidential sources on stories he claims have “national security implications,” elaborating that the prospect of prison rape would loosen reporters’ lips about their sources. Newly installed FBI Director Kash Patel wrote, “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections. We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminal or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice.”
“I will say this, Hillary Clinton has got to go to jail,” Trump told supporters. “Folks, honestly, she’s guilty as hell,” Trump said of the Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.
Trump said members of the House Select Committee who investigated January 6th activities should be in jail. “Everybody on that committee … for what they did, yeah, honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump said, including former congresswoman Liz Cheney. Trump claims “committee members should be prosecuted for their lies,” specifically accusing them of “treason” (a crime for which the punishment, if found guilty, is DEATH).
“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,” a Trump spokesperson said. Specifically, Trump has singled out Jack Smith, the special prosecutor tasked with looking into Jan. 6 and surrounding issues revolving around Trump’s efforts to reverse his defeat in 2020, as well as Trump’s mishandling of classified documents after he left the White House. “These are examples of the weaponization of government against Trump that MUST BE AVENGED.”
Trump says ex-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley is a traitor who deserves to be executed, saying, “Milley was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. … This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been death!”
Others Trump says will be targeted for prosecution and conviction include Alvin Bragg, Adam Schiff, Barack Obama, Huma Abedin, James Comey, John Kerry, Joe Scarborough, Andrew McCabe, Ilhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi, and Kamala Harris (to name just a few).
So, let the TRIALS begin. Make them Grand Spectacles, with each and every person Trump has accused of CRIME having a day in court, thanks to the investigative prosecutorial efforts of Trump’s new CrackerJack ‘Law and Order’ TEAM. Stock up on PopCorn, y’all!
All that’s needed is PROOF and EVIDENCE of these crimes, which up to this point … have not been shown even a little bit.
Jeff Harrison Buffalo Clarification for the question last week
I reply to the Letter to the Editor last week in which the writer expressed being baffl ed. The simple answer is found in the U.S. States Constitution, Articles II and III which specifically grant the chief executive (president) to appoint or commission individuals to lawfully assist in executing the policies of the administration. It permits the making of policy, not making laws.
The courts do have the right and the power to question the president’s appointments but not to unilaterally overrule them. The lower courts, including those federal, have sadly, consistently opposed the administration along straight party lines: liberal interpretations to impede implementation of needed remedies to our country’s ills. The current administration was put in place to get our national house in order, fix the problems, correct the abuses, eliminate the criminal waste allowed for decades.
Executives make things happen; bureaucrats push paper and watch things happen, and ignorant drones just wonder what happened: e.g., in private business, a company CEO (A) sees a serious problem issue. He instructs a subordinate to write a Request for Proposal to several firms which deal with the problem. The firms have 30 days to submit their proposals; the company then appoints a committee to review the multiple proposals and prepare a report for the CEO within 30 days. The CEO receives/reads the proposals, calls a staff meeting, and solicits their written vote as to which firm is to be hired; they have two weeks to comply. Then the CEO makes the decision for correcting the problem. Elapsed time: 10 weeks. The problem was a lack of striping in the employee parking lot! A competitor firm’s CEO (B) sees the same problem, instructs a staff member to get a reputable vendor to fix the parking lot, and then GOES ON TO IMPORTANT BUSINESS – elapsed time: 24 hours. The waste in man hours and money is incalculable. Mr. Trump is legitimately Executive (B). The rationale is that working for an unnecessary constitutional amendment would delay and compound our problems, not fix them.
To seriously doubt that the bloated federal government (the actual largest employer in the nation!) does not suffer a subset of monumental waste in needless programs, pork gifts from congressmen, ineffective foreign aid, ultra-expensive regulations that increase our cost-of-living, etc. is to deny what is plainly right before our eyes. There IS a swamp that badly needs draining; it has been many years in the making, but it will be cleaned. Trump was elected to do this; he is working hard to do it.
I hope this enlightenment might eliminate any further baffling problems others might have. I am pleased to be the requested Republican providing this illumination.
God bless America!
