He has said he wants Patel and Bondi to “do what they think is best” regarding going after his “enemies.” He is not going to do anything, says he. Of course, those two would not be nominated were he not certain they will do his will. Preemptively, he has hung them out to dry. Do they realize this?
That should be the first series of questions Bondi is asked at her confirmation hearing. And it's not just a threat against the Congresspeople, but against every attorney, paralegal, and aide who worked on the investigation.
Remember Trump’s communications with the AG and DOJ are completely immune. I guess he has to couch now but once he’s in the WH he can order Bondi to do whatever
He just did it , say’s exactly what he wants to happen and will leave it to someone else to do it .Then if it backfires , ‘ I didn’t do it’, the usual comment.
On January 20th it may all come down to those who act based on their loyalty to the Constitution versus those who act on their loyalty to a cult leader.
Trump should be pressed hard by journalists on how he thinks due process applies to his promise to jail opponents. But, first, they might have to explain due process as if they were speaking to a 5-year old.
I’m wondering when we officially cross the threshold into an authoritarian dictatorship and courts just say whatever and send you to a penal colony for 7 years
He, like other mobsters, never gives a direct order. His people understand that. Why reporters continue to phrase questions like that I’ll never understand.
Right, she proved in previous interviews when trump was rattling off crazy conspiracies and she never questioned or corrected what she and everyone else knew were lies
I think trump uses these interviews as a way to soften the blow and condition people into normalizing the proposed policy. Unfortunately it’s a formula that he realizes works well
Does not need to do his AG and DOJ will use the IRS and fake investigations to drag people into court and bankrupt them this is done even day in authoritarian societies and was done here during the Blacklist days ppl can and are driven to kill themselves.
I have never heard him say what law they supposedly broke to warrant an indictment much less a conviction. Can someone enlighten me why no one ever asks him what they should go to jail for.
Also, no matter what words come out of his mouth, they potentially have no meaning. Take, for example, his assertion that he had no knowledge of Project 2025. So what if he said he wouldn’t order the prosecution of J6 committee members. No one will hold him accountable, regardless.
He doesn't need to direct Bondi to do anything. She is a loyal minion, she will think ahead to what would make Trump happy and do it without a direct order. See Chapter 1 of On Tyranny.
The price we’re going to pay because we don’t have an educated press will be brutal. Dictators don’t have to give the order, they create a lawless environment and then reward underlings who do lawless things in service of the dictator’s goals. Giving him a pass is the deniability he wants.
Does any single journalist who's not a black woman or a British man have the ability to do a decent follow up questions such as "what laws did they violate sir"?
Trump still doesn't appear to understand that he did things that were illegal and/or unconstitutional. When he uses the court system, delays, and being elected to avoid consequences, he then determines that proves he did nothing wrong. It just proves he manipulated the system.
Next question. "What was your purpose in saying they should go to jail. Were you giving a direct message to an Attorney General about what you want done?" Trump is obvious. Instead of tiptoeing around his intent, expose his tactics and pin him down.
They would have to be entitled to due process. This is still America. He can just put people in prison. They would have to be charged with a crime and tried by a jury. Fuck him
No, he won't direct his henchmen to go after his enemies. He doesn't need to at this point, the deed was done long ago and set in stone. As of today he doesn't need to say anything about retribution. Wheels are in motion.
He’s already told everyone what he wants done. Trump is a pathological lying criminal sociopath. He wants revenge and retribution for everyone who he perceives is his enemy.
If we are not going to use the intelligence we have gathered about Trump's compromised relationship with Putin right now to defend our nation, when are we going to use it? Never?
The longer we pretend he isn't mentally ill the more devastation we're going to experience.

The amazement is voters didn't see the comparison of past authoritarians and Trump. It's as if this could never happen here. Well, they were wrong, and what are they going to do about it, roll-over?
Comments
Not even his followers believe him.
Then death squads?
He’s also employing this tactic to maintain plausible deniability, subtly influencing actions without taking direct responsibility.
DJT was lying. He will direct Bondi to go after all of them. But that can't be reported by the M$M because it makes DJT 'look bad'.
Do NOT BELIEVE HIM.
but his people need to do the work (I hop already done) to document these threats. intent is very clear.
pardon them all
Make Biden #DeclassifyTrump, so we can force the Congress to #ImpeachTrumpNow.
