Trump revenge list: politicians, prosecutors and journalists targeted for retaliation

Boing Boing/Flux

Some of Trump's supporters dismissed his threats of prosecution, imprisonment, deportation, and even execution of people he doesn't like as just talk. But many of his close advisers believe the soon-to-be President means business this time around, and expect him to follow through on his threats.

They cite three reasons: Trump doesn't have to worry about reelection, a recent Supreme Court ruling gives him immunity, and he's going to appoint loyalist officials who will do his bidding without question.

A detailed report by Politico's Josh Gerstein lays out Donald Trump's long list of enemies targeted for retribution. Here's a summary:

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/LEGAL FIGURES:

• Jack Smith: "Should be thrown out of the country" and "must go to prison"

• Alvin Bragg: "The district attorney should be prosecuted"

• Letitia James: "Should be arrested and punished accordingly"

• Judge Arthur Engoron: "Should be arrested and punished accordingly"

• Mark Pomerantz: Claimed he could face felony charges for "disclosing secret grand jury information"
