One Justice employee told CNN that people inside the department are “safety planning.” Another told CNN that some are considering whether they should hire lawyers.
A third official told CNN that there is a “general sense of depression” among attorneys who worked on legal cases that some Republican lawmakers have spoken out against, saying those attorneys are concerned their years of work will be “flushed down the drain.”

Trump searches for his attorney general as Justice Department officials worry about chaos and retribution | CNN Politics

The empire strikes back . It appears that the Garland DOJ won't go quietly in the night. According to Rep Jim Jordan they have ramped up the lawfare since the election. Their target appears to be Elon Musk ;who as noted ,will have a crucial role in the reform of the Federal bureaucracy. The House Judiciary Committee he chairs sent this letter to various enforcement agencies

Quote:

According to information available to the Committee, the Antitrust Division aggressively moved to escalate its regulation of American businesses shortly following the election of President Trump. Specifically, we have received allegations that the Division sent demand letters to numerous businesses indicating an intention to start enforcement actions in the final days of the Biden-Harris Administration.

He wants them to preserve all their records for when the shoe is on the other foot.

Musk's various businesses have been under constant attack by the Clueless Joe regime and the deep state .


Jim Jordan also made it clear that the lawfare against Trump by Jack Smith will not go away with Smith's resignation.

Jim Jordan Details Warning To Jack Smith Following Trump's Victory Over Kamala Harris

Alvin Bragg has a new diabolically clever scheme to have Trump's conviction hang over him through his term.

He wants to freeze sentencing until after Trump's term.

NYC prosecutors in Donald Trump hush money case oppose dismissal, but are OK with pause in sentencing - ABC7 New York

The Trump team would be crazy to accept the deal.

Judge Juan Merchan will have to decide .

How Merchan rules on the dismissal motion will determine if they plan to keep the case hanging over Trump's head like Damocles' sword.

Judge delays Trump's Nov. 26 sentencing date in his hush money case

Jack Smith asked Judge Chutkan to dismiss the DC case against Trump . What will the judge do ? Will she dismiss it or try to delay it as Merchan has done?

Judge Chutkan dismissed the case .

3 special prosecutors . $90 million spend by the Feds trying to get Trump . The Feds are 0-3 (The document case in Florida is also dismissed) .

Trump is NOT indicted in any Federal charges.

The one remaining question is ;were the prosecutors legally and constitutionally hired by the DOJ ?
The appointments clause (art 2 sec 2 clause 2) says Smith and before him needed Senate confirmation.

and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Judge Cannon in Florida ruled Smith was improperly appointed by AG Garland .That was being appealed before the dismissal.

“The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers,”
gov.uscourts.flsd.648652.672.0_4.pdf

There is no statute establishing the office of Special Council . Garland argued that Smith was an "inferior officer" that does not need confirmation.

The truth is that there has never been a case where a special council has been appointed who was not a political hack. The whole concept of a special council as it currently is exercises is unconstitutional.

Trump's codefendants in the document case Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira.still have their cases active . So the appeal still needs to be ruled on by the Court of Appeals.

David Weiss was appointed special counsel in the Hunter Biden case. The same rules apply to him.

Trump picks Kash Patel to run FBI , That is an outstanding selection !!! . He was the lead investigator for Congressman Devin Nunes during the Russia hoax hearings. He had a heavy hand in the Nunes memo that first pointed the finger to the FBI lawfare against Trump. He held various national security positions for the Trump administration especially in counter-terrorism .

This nomination should put the Dems hair on fire . There is no doubt that one of his main missions is the clean house in the FBI

The fact that the Biden Justice Department tried to put Donald Trump in jail for 750 years, with their weaponized lawfare attack that never had any merit at all. All of this shows why it is essential to clean up the Justice Department and the FBI. Now, bring on stage Kash Patel, who President Trump is nominating for FBI Director.

Patel is Mr. Cleanup. He is a brilliant guy with vast experience in law, national security and fighting crime. He will come into the FBI not to take revenge, or wage a new weaponization, but instead to cleanse the agency, to clear out all the deadwood because, right now, the FBI is caught in the throes of its greatest corruption period since J. Edgar Hoover and this must stop. It must be ended. President Trump knows this and Kash Patel is exactly the guy to do it. Take a listen to this tape from our show two weeks ago:


KASH PATEL: "The worst weapon we have in government is a two-tier system of justice that's been weaponized, and I think it's time that Donald Trump came in there with a sweeping mandate that the American public gave him to return a singular system of constitutional justice. Here's the thing. There is no revenge list. If Donald Trump is successful, he will make these institutions – the FBI, DOJ, D.O.D., successful forever."

Kash Patel famously uncovered the "Russia, Russia, Russia" hoax financed by Hillary Clinton, supported by the FBI, and cooked up by their crooked mouthpiece, Christopher Steele. Kash Patel has served as Senior Director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Chief of Staff at the Defense Department. He has tried over 60 jury trials. He has been both a prosecutor and a public defender. So, he knows all about domestic and international crime.

He is exactly what the FBI needs and Kash Patel will work closely with Pam Bondi, the brilliant woman and former Florida Attorney General who will become President Trump's Attorney General and will work hand in glove with Kash and other new officials to clean out the dirty stables of justice that has regrettably prevailed in this country for the past four years – if not longer.

Larry Kudlow: It is essential to clean up the Justice Department and the FBI

Despite Trump's victory and promises to pardon Jan 6 protesters ; prosecutions and trials are proceeding ,probably at an accelerated level of urgency.

I oppose blanket pardons and that includes the protesters . They should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Pardons and commutations should be granted to those who did not participate in violence or vandalism.

As expected Bragg wants to delay the Trump sentencing until after Trump leaves office.

Letter to Merchan Nov. 19 | DocumentCloud

Then I assume that judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail for the rest of his life. This is being spun as a victory for Trump because if the judge agrees ,Trump won't be sentenced next week

I won't believe this is over until the case is dismissed .

Pretty good statement. I would only add that the fact they have, in some cases, been held in confinement for close to four years now That should be taken into consideration for at least giving them a release from charges. Something like 400 of the cases have been settled or prosecuted. From what I could see, I don't know that I would have proceeded with charges against 400 people.

some more lawfare news

DOJ Inspector General Office released a report about the Jan 6 riot.

25-011_0.pdf

Despite withholding this information ;the FBI had 23 confidential informants mingled in the crowd of protesters . They had strict instructions to stay clear of the Capitol Building

. Thomas Massie on X: "For years I was called a conspiracy theorist for asking Garland, Wray, and Horowitz whether government assets participated in J6. Yesterday I was vindicated. DOJ IG report confirms there were FBI confidential human sources in the crowd, entering the Capitol, and breaking laws. https://t.co/0spxGu6Wt9" / X

4 of them entered the building and 13 entered the restricted area around the building. None of them have been charged .

Although these informants had given details about possible unrest ;none of the information was acted on.
Informants embedded with the Proud Boys claim that have no knowledge that the riot was premeditated. Instead the Proud Boys biggest concern was confronting ANTIFA if they showed up.


Trump sued George Stephanopoulos and ABC for defamation over a report he gave claiming Trump was found liable for rape in the E. Jean Carroll law suit. He wasn't . He was found liable for sexual abuse; a charge he claims is false.

A judge ordered Trump and Stephanopoulos to sit down for 4 hours of deposition for discovery.

Instead they are settling . ABC agreed to pay $15 million to Trump and both the network and Stephanopoulos have made public apologies.

Trump chalks up another lawfare victory

The FBI spied on Kash Patel when he was a staffer for Rep Devin Nunes “between September 2017 and March 2018,” . This was a time when Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia hoax ;and Andrew McCabe ran roughshod over the DOJ . He compelled Apple and Google and other social media sites to turn over to the FBI private information . They were trying to find out if Congressional staffers were leaking to the compliant press information about the Russia hoax investigation.

Kash was lead council for the Repub Congressional investigation . The FBI got a gag order preventing the sites from informing him that he was under FBI surveillance.

The IG report came out Tuesday . Wednesday FBI Director Chris Wray said he was stepping. down. When Kash becomes FBI director some investigators have some 'splainin' to do .

The bigger issue Trump had with ABC was the one sided and biased fact checking against him in his debate with Kam the Sham .

Another way this is a win .The settlement goes to an eventual Trump library . Meanwhile Dems are backing out of contributing to a Clueless Joe Library .

Biden library reportedly under threat by Democrats enraged by Hunter pardon | Joe Biden | The Guardian

More Trump winning . Jeff Bezos ;who Trump has sparred with for years is coming to Mara Lago to grovel . During the campaign as a preliminary more ;he killed the Compost's endorsement of Kam the Sham. Hedging his bets he decided that the paper would not make an endorsement .

Now that Trump has one he comes paying tribute to Trump with hands out begging for forgiveness and Trump's good graces. Seems the Compost and his other business interests ...Amazon...Blue Origin ..could gain or lose based on Trump' say.

You also see this on Wall Street where they gave Trump a hero's welcome when he rang the bell at the stock exchange standing next to a blow up poster of his Times Man of the Year photo.

The masters of the Universe like Bezos are like typical rent seekers looking for their slice of the pie.

Even more Trump winning. Not only is Wall Street paying tribute ;the lefties of Silicon Valley are making the pilgrimage.

2020 they could not give Trump the time of day and massively invested in Clueless Joe's win.

But when rent seekers nose up to Trump ;then he is suddenly autocratic royalty .

Quote:

The coronation (or what we used to call the inauguration) hasn't happened yet, but he's already being feted like a medieval king. And unlike the British monarchy, which has eliminated the paying of tribute to the king, here in America — where we supposedly cast off such practices in our revolution — our new president is busily collecting payments and demanding fealty from his liege lords and foreign allies. And he's making it very clear that he will not be happy if they don't come across with plenty of lucre to fill his royal coffers.

Ummm would $ 30 million Chinese bucks be considered lucre to fill Clueless Joe's coffers ?

Amazing . Despite Stephanopoulos causing the network to settle with Trump for $16 million , they agreed to sign him up for a new contract. Details were not provided but he is rumored to make $20 million a year .
I guess ABC has no fall back talent to step in and fill the roll of big talking head .
