Trump: Vengeance is mine!
Remember the interview that Trump had with Fox’s Bret Baier? When asked if he would be seeking retribution if elected, Trump replied “our ultimate retribution is success.” Trump then said “I’m not going to have time for retribution. We’re going to make this country so successful again, I’m not going to have time for it.” Well he lied. Knowing Trump and his proclivities I think few if any of us believed him. In fact, retribution began almost from the first day in the White House when he revoked the security clearances of those 50 former intelligence officers who showed “misleading and inappropriate political coordination” with Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign.
That was only the beginning. He then had his AG Pam (Blondie) Bondi “to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who oppose him and sue him in court. This includes immigration lawyers. This has forced several law firms to end their relationships with illegal immigrant groups trying to defend illegals against deportation. The “Justice” department even started going after small independent lawyers who had defended illegals. One legal expert said “Would DOJ, under normal circumstances, move for sanctions against a lawyer who sought to protect their client from removal in this kind of a context? I don’t think so.”
To say that this has a chilling effect is an understatement. Small lawyers can not stand up to DOJ. Even the large law firms cannot meaning that the illegals lose legal representation because of the might of the Department of “Justice”. I know some Trump defenders will argue that the illegals should not have legal counsel but I strongly disagree. I am of the let them have the best defense possible before we deport them camp.
Trump then started going after law firms that had litigated cases against him. he issued an executive order regarding the firm Perkins Cole that had filed lawsuits against the administration. The order said that the federal government was barred from working with the firm or using contractors who work for it. Employees at the firm—including 1,200 lawyers and 2,500 workers who are not involved in Perkins Coie’s legal cases—would also be barred from entering federal buildings and their security clearances would be suspended. Talk about chilling! Of course a federal judge almost immediately issued a temporary restraining order halting Trump’s penalties, which she said were retaliatory. Trump’s order even barred Perkins Cole’s clients with government contracts from working with the firm. Vengeance is mine!
Then there are the actions taken by the “Justice” Department against New York attorney general Letitia James and California senator Adam Schiff. This is just an opening salvo. James is being investigated for trying to throw Trump in jail over trumped up charges whose stature of limitations had expired. Trump now says that her office violated his rights by bringing a civil lawsuit against him and his business. Do tell? This is a federal offense? Schiff is accused of mortgage fraud by claiming a home in Maryland as his primary residence in order to get a favorable mortgage rate. But we know the real reason is that Schiff chaired the House Intelligence Committee when it investigated Trump’s Russian hoax charges and was a member of a House committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021 “insurrection.” Schiff used his notoriety to get elected to the senate and now Trump aims to get him. Trump would also like to go after Bennie Thompson, Liz Cheney and the entire January 6thcommittee, but Biden gave them all immunity before he left office.
Do you think that Tulsi Gabbard’s release of the Russia hoax documents implicating Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, James Comey, James Clapper, Jack Smith, Peter Strzok , Lisa Page was anything but a personal vendetta and retribution? They are just an ever growing cast of thousands that Trump is out to get. It extends to the multitude of federal workers who have been terminated as Trump exacts his vengeance against the Deep State. But what about Fani Willis and Alvin Bragg or Michael Cohen? They are probably next.
Yep, Pam (Blondie) Bondi has enough to keep her busy for the rest of Trump’s term.

I don’t care what Trump said. I care what he does. And James, as well as others found an opportunity to harass Trump with frivolous charges.. Those people should be doing their jobs as required by their oaths as well as conducting their personal lives within legal guidelines. When they don’t they should be held accountable. James lied on her mortgage application to receive favorable consideration, She didn’t have to. She chose to. So has Schiff. They are fair game because they strayed outside the legal boundaries.

That’s fair but Schiff is the one that lied. James didn’t lie on a mortgage app but did try to throw Trump in jail on frivolous charges. I’ve always said that what is sauce to the goose ….

I am pretty sure that what has been reported about James indicates she misstated info on her mortgage application. Per Copilot:
James signed a Power of Attorney declaring a Norfolk, Virginia home as her principal residence—a requirement for securing a federally backed mortgage.
However, text messages reportedly show she told her loan officer it would be her daughter’s residence, not hers.
This discrepancy is central to the fraud allegations, as claiming primary residency can qualify a borrower for better loan terms and federal assistance.
Brooklyn Property (2001):
James allegedly misrepresented the number of units in a Brooklyn building, stating it had four units instead of five.
The Certificate of Occupancy reportedly confirms five units, which would affect zoning, tax classification, and mortgage eligibility.
Earlier Transactions (1983 & 2000):
In two separate mortgage documents, James is said to have listed her father as her spouse—potentially to access favorable loan terms reserved for married couples.

The American people are tired of their Government breaking their own laws.
The Russian hoax concocted to spy on a rival Campaign was far worse than Watergate. The Democrats willfully and illegally spied on Trump during his campaign. Using the FBI to do their work for them. Obama ordered the CIA to produce false evidence to achieve FISA warrants.
Why is there not a punishment for all those who allowed millions to illegally enter our Country? Were the lawyers who have been sanctioned involved in breaking the immigration laws? When someone breaks the laws, shouldn’t there be some punishment? If not, why would anyone follow the law?

No disagreement from me. However, for me the fundamental question is whether someone who came here illigally forfeits the legal protections under the law? Again I am not an attorney and don’t know the answer.

Are the illegals entitled to anything for breaking the law to enter our Country illegally? Shouldn’t they just be deported if they can’t prove their citizenship? If they are not crossing at a normal border check point, why should they be given anything except a bus ride back across the border they illegally crossed?
Who is paying the legal bill for them? The US Tax payers? Who chose the law firms to represent the illegals? Follow the money trail…..seems like those law firms had a strong interest in seeing millions come across the border to be defended by them……were the law firms breaking laws to enrich themselves? Simple sanctions might be letting them off easy.
