If you could measure the Democrat Party’s appetite for weaponizing the government against Donald Trump, it’s always been at ten. They impeached him twice, and tried to put him in prison… multiple times. Well, they’ve they’ve cranked the dial to 11, and they’re no longer satisfied with going after Trump himself.
They want everyone who works for him, and may work for him, too.
And Trump knows it’s coming.
In an interview with Time earlier this month, the magazine asked Trump whether he’d consider pardoning administration officials if Democrats regain power and come after them. “Yeah, sure I’d do that,” Trump said. He pointed to former President Joe Biden, who handed out preemptive pardons in the final hours of his presidency.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) just made Trump’s case for him.
Speaking October 13 at the University of Chicago during a live taping of Vox’s America, Actually podcast with editorial director Astead Herndon, Slotkin laid out how Democrats plan to deal with Trump and the people who serve under him.
This should terrify anyone who values a free country.
“I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him,” Slotkin said in a 26-second clip of the exchange that began circulating Saturday. “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like that sounds fun. I might get an opportunity.'”
She kept going. “I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that,'” she continued. “I want that deterrence message sent.”
