There is historical precedent for trump's attempts at retribution.

[berg80]

Regarding Jack Smith, the Crazy in the House has announced they will open an investigation in to Smith's prosecution of trump. So Don is getting someone else to do his dirty work. They will scrutinize every piece of paper they get their hands on for some tidbit they can blow way out of proportion like the communications between Strzok and Page. The ones the IG said had no bearing on the fairness of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation. https://www.justice.gov/storage/120919-examination.pdf
The goal being to discredit Smith and the investigators (like they tried to do with Mueller and his team) since there is no hope of refuting the damning evidence against the soon to be Felon-in-Chief.

As to why I do not discount the possibility trump would tell Gaetz to prosecute a perceived enemy, there is historical precedent.

Trump Wanted to Order Justice Dept. to Prosecute Comey and Clinton

WASHINGTON — President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

There will be no Don McGahn's in his admin this time around. He will be completely unrestrained, as he was when he named ass clowns Hegseth, Noem, Zeldin, Gabbard, RFK, and Gaetz to his cabinet.

BTW, even though it would be a grotesque abuse of power to do so, ordering those types of prosecutions (for what exactly?) might be a good thing. Cuz they'll force the few rational Repubs left to acknowledge what we've been warning about for quite a long time. And the result will be exoneration of those who are charged. Further exposing trump for the vindictive sack of shyte he is.

So you're admitting that Trump has reasons for wanting retribution.

Retribution for WHAT?

Agreed there are many real reasons for trump to want retribution


Glad the house is looking into thr illegally appointed Jack smith and hopefully this sort of thing never happens in America again

 

[TimFitz]

Retribution for WHAT?

This has been a Trump obsession for a long time.

Trumpis especially sensitive to anyone questioning the role and activities of Carter Page.

Carter Page?? What in the world

 

[JGalt]

I am saying that right now. If everything we've heard from the left about Donald Trump over the last 8 years is true, then why are they obsessed with the idea of Trump being a fascist and wanting revenge?

 

[berg80]

Agreed there are many real reasons for trump to want retribution

Once again the focus is on the legality of Smith's appointment, Cannon's sycophantic ruling was being appealed, but not the evidence Smith used in his indictments.

I predict there will be no star chamber prosecution. Instead, trump will rely on folks like Gym Jordan to smear Smith's reputation.

You must be referring to trump's illegal plot to maintain power. And his refusal to comply with a subpoena to return stolen classified docs.

“according to two people familiar with the conversation.”

That is not “historical.”

That is “anyone can say anything negative about Donald Trump and the TDS media will gleefully reported as if it were gospel.“

So you're an advocate of Soviet LAWFARE against political opponents. Got it.

What evidence? It was a shame political prosecution by an illegally appointed lawyer

 

[struth]

What plot? The only ruling the court made was Jack smith was an illegal appointed. That’s the law

The Xiden’s admin lawless admin abused their office appointing him to go after their political rival

If that was an "obsession" with Trump for a long time, why didn't he have all his opponents locked up during his first term? Why didn't he force Congress to fund the border wall? Why didn't he blatantly use the national security apparatus of the federal government to enhance his own reelection bid in 2020? Why didn't he declare martial law to prevent the impeachment hearings? Why didn't he weaponize the IRS to go after his enemies? Why didn't he weap[onize the FBI to go after journalists, former Obama officials, or Democratic Party activists who variously were attacking Don Jr. or Ivanka on the pretenses of retrieving one of their lost laptops or diaries?

Were there any texts of Trump-era FBI agents talking about how to “stop” Hillary Clinton’s or Biden’s election bid?

Did the Trump Justice Department start an investigation of the suspected illegal lobbying of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, who used the former’s political connections to win large cash payments from foreign governments?

Did Trump order an FBI raid on the Obama home, on rumors that there were thousands of documents under dispute with the National Archives in his possession, especially given the Obama record of fiercely fighting any Freedom of Information Act lawsuits to release his documents?

Was Jake Sullivan’s phone grabbed by the FBI at an airport to determine his role in the Russian collusion hoax?

Are there now any former Trump loyalists who, as “anonymous” officials in cabinet agencies or obstructionists on the National Security Council, are writing op-eds about their stealthy daily efforts to undermine Biden’s executive orders or his administration’s action?

Are there now “50 former intelligence officials” who signed affidavits in support of Trump’s allegations about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop?

Between 2017 and 2020, did Trump’s team systematically seek to change the voting laws in key states to radically transform traditional balloting, in a mail-in or early voting revolution, in which only 30 percent of the electorate would vote on Election Day?

Was there any “dark money” effort analogous to the efforts of corporate and tech money along with DNC activists and Biden operators in what Time magazine’s Molly Ball described as a “conspiracy” to ensure the defeat of Trump’s opponent?

How about Trump’s efforts to revolutionize the very system of government? Did he promote a court-packing scheme to ensure he might not just get a 5-4 majority, but perhaps an 11-4 conservative advantage in a new 15-justice Supreme Court?

Did he dream up ways of getting rid of the Electoral College so the “blue wall” might never return?

Did Trump as president meet with CIA and FBI directors who, in their weekly and daily briefings, apprised him of efforts to monitor, spy, and infiltrate the campaign of Joe Biden?

Dude, you just need to get the hell out here. Quit while you're ahead, ok?

This is what authoritarian fascists like Trump do: seek retribution and revenge against political rivals and perceived enemies.
