I'm not an official.

I wasn't on a legal team that investigated Donald Trump.

And you might think to yourself, you know, these cases are bullshit.

Jim Comey and Letitia James, those cases seem like they may get thrown out even if they go to trial.

It seems highly unlikely they're going to get a jury.

And so you might think that that's like comforting in some ways.

But again, those people are going to go through hell and they can afford lawyers.

And once you start getting down the list, right, to people who are

Prominent but less prominent.

And then what's stopping Trump and the Justice Department from saying, oh, some random person who criticized us that we don't like.

We're going to find some dirt on that.

It doesn't stop with the people who were responsible for investigating Donald Trump over the last several years by any means.

Like he's just going to keep going.

Why wouldn't he?

What would stop him?

Yeah.

Well, let's talk about the IRS story.

So the Wall Street Journal reports that Trump is getting ready to install loyalists at the IRS's criminal investigative division, which has more than 2000 agents.

These are the people who carry guns.

And he's doing this to get past reportedly all the IRS lawyers who've been pushing back on investigations into Trump's critics because they would be illegal, vindictive prosecutions.
