As Donald Trump prepares for his second term, a promise of “retribution” hangs in the air, and federal investigators are on high alert. Sources close to the situation say that many of the attorneys and staff who worked on the Special Counsel’s investigation are already taking precautions, hiring lawyers, and reviewing their communications to ensure they don’t become targets of Trump’s potential revenge.
With less than a month until Trump’s inauguration, his plans to reshape the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI are clear. He’s hinted at using these powerful agencies to go after those who investigated him. Trump himself has said, “Pandora’s Box is open, and that means I can do it too.”
Some investigators are even exploring extreme ways to protect their families and assets from potential probes if Trump follows through on his plans. The fear of being targeted is real, and many are bracing for what could be a tough road ahead.
Trump has long made it clear that if he wins, he’ll shut down the investigations into his actions regarding the 2020 election and classified documents. His inner circle has been working to identify targets within the DOJ and FBI for potential retaliation. With the power of the presidency on the line, Trump is gearing up for a full-scale purge.
As we get closer to inauguration day, the question remains: What happens next in Trump’s quest for “retribution,” and who will be in the crosshairs?
