Donald Trump and his allies are plotting full-on revenge attacks against his tormenters if he can find a path back to the White House, reported Rolling Stone Friday.
The twice-impeached, thrice-indicted former president is assembling a roster of loyalist lawyers and planning revenge-minded special counsels and special prosecutors to investigate Smith, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. and other prosecutors. He's also considering a wave of pardons for his associates and supporters, including Jan. 6 rioters, theRolling Stone report said.
"There are almost too many targets to keep track of," said one Trump adviser familiar with the discussions.
One idea that has captured Trump's imagination is the creation of an "Office of Election Integrity" within the Department of Justice that would be tasked with re-litigating his 2020 election loss and aggressively pursuing claims of election fraud, especially in Democratic strongholds, that sources say was pitched by a longtime Republican activist and an attorney who's known Trump for years.
"I recall talking to a senior official in the Trump administration, who said after all of [these investigations] are over, we've got to think of a way to bring the Justice Department back into the government," said Tom Fitton, president of the conservative nonprofit Judicial Watch, who has argued the department should be more closely aligned with the president's priorities. "Is the Justice Department going to operate as an entity outside the White House as opposed to an entity that's controlled by the president, as the Constitution requires?"
Trump likes the idea of issuing the wave of pardons right away, rather than waiting, and sources said that he seems intrigued by the idea of pardoning himself and then launching investigations into alleged "grand jury violations" that resulted in his indictments.
"This would be like hitting the delete key on all of DOJ's work on these investigations," said a person intimately familiar with the conversations.

meh, it would be better if trump paid the price for his misdeeds, instead of his gullible sycophants, like we've seen...
I thought the Justice Department was independent of the White House. Have I been wrong all these years?
I don't know, the republicans seemed to be fine with a weaponized DOJ when trump was POTUS...
You ain't seen nuthin' yet. Wait until President DeSantis, with a fully Republican Congress, starts the big clean up and crack down on the Democrats
with 2.5 million senior citizen deaths per year since trump was POTUS, republicans better hurry...

Are you predicting another red tidal wave? How did the last one work out? Oh, wait...
... more like a red flush.
Tom Fitton is a conspiracy nut/clown. Pay him no attention.
I think that JFK started changing that relationship.
Lock her up!
Nothing new .....
Trump's Final Solution is already in the final planning stage...
win/win for me...
I believe your all forgetting someting. Trump said, "I saved bin Sulman's ass." Perhaps bin Sulman will repay the favor by 'giving' Americans $10 a gallon gasoline. Imagine the repercussions, especially when the GOP will do everything it can to make it a reality.
OMG, the irony of that comment is out of this world. 60 plus lost lawsuits over the election are proof positive that that bunch of dimwits planning something like this are really fricking nuts.
