Ex-president determined to destroy independence of justice department if he regains control of White House
Donald Trump is planning an assault on the American justice system should he win re-election to the White House, in which he would seek to destroy the independence of the justice department and turn it into an attack machine for his Make American great again (Maga) movement.
At the heart of his plans is the desire to impose his will on the individual prosecutorial decisions taken by the Department of Justice. The move, if successful, would end half a century of accepted practice that prevents presidents from politically interfering with specific cases.
It would allow Trump in his second term to eradicate the federal prosecutions currently being pursued against him as well as against insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 whom he has championed as “hostages”. It would also free him to instigate legal investigations as acts of revenge against his perceived political enemies, including Joe Biden and family.
“I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family,” Trump said last year.
Not true at all, just watch the interview he did last night…https://hannity.com/media-room/theyre-wrong-trump-shuts-down-critics-who-say-hed-seek-retribution-if-elected-it-has-to-stop-watch/
Yeah, par for the course for Hannity and anything fox news related, misleading headline and quote, from a misleading non-answer by Trump that’s so all over the place it’s hard to follow. Even the tiny little portion they clipped out, he goes on to say he has “every right” to go after Biden if elected.
Look, when this election is over, based on what they’ve done, I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy, because it’s Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that’s going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine
And his accusations that Biden is directing his prosecution (especially ridiculous when two of the cases are state cases) are all projection anyways to distract from the fact that he’s already tried to interfere at the justice department many times when he was president.

Such a short memory Trump has. So yes, it is very true, and he’s already tried to do it many times. I know you’re probably a troll posting misinformation, this comment is for anyone else reading.
All the news sources you mention are the same ones that said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation
Because it was. J
If it was, it wouldn’t have been entered into evidence in the trial
Geeze dude, half of the shit in there is out of Trump’s own mouth. The first quote I listed was from the interview you posted! From Sean Hannity! If you’re not just a troll, you really need to take a step back and at least listen to some of the things your own god king is saying.
And yeah I’ll be sure not to vote for Hunter Biden or his laptop for president, thanks.
Trump said he’s not going to weaponize the justice department to go after his political enemies because what’s going on now has to stop even though he would have every right to do so. I do listen to what says, including the context which is something a lot of people like to leave out I noticed
Got Damn son, you didn’t just have a glass of the fucking Kool Aid, you drank the entire pitcher and asked for more.
Exactly what someone drinking all the kool-aid would say
Oh so he said a different thing one time and that’s the absolute truth? Lol
He’s been saying that, the fake news just like to cherry pick everything he says. Sadly, a lot of people just aren’t very bright and they buy into it just like when they rambled on about the Hunter Biden laptop telling people it was Russian disinformation. It’s just government propaganda
Oh you mean the laptop that had no chain of custody, and let’s say it’s all true, literally nothing illegal?
Plenty of evidence of illegal activities on the laptop, drugs, prostitution, text and emails implementing him and others in more crimes. They just want you to believe there was nothing but d*ck pics on it
0 chain of custody. 0 proof of truth of evidence, or he’d be in court, like he literally is now.
Lol, what do you think it is that got him into court? If ut wasn’t for the text messages on his laptop and him writing a book about it, he would have never been in court in the first place because they wouldn’t have known he lied on the form
Jaja hannity 🤡
Wow, how old are you, like 10?
Fake news, just more left wing garbage
You a bot or troll?
Are you?
so the stuff Trump himself says is left-wing garbage?
or are we not supposed to listen to what he says, and just fill in our own words, like some sort of political madlib?
What? That he would appoint a special prosecutor? If Biden is innocent he’s got nothing to worry about
so, it’s not fake news?
That’s not all that was claimed. Most of it is fake news
so, it’s not all fake news then? which parts were fake?
The whole thing except maybe the special council. The president already has the power to pardon if he wants to, so that’s hardly an assault on the Justice system.
