Former President Donald Trump has made clear his intentions to use the Justice Department to seek retribution against his perceived enemies if he is re-elected. Trump has vowed to fire Special Counsel Jack Smith, who indicted him in two federal cases, as his first order of business. He has also promised to arrest his Democratic opponents and impose long prison sentences on those he accuses of trying to rig the election, including lawyers, political operatives, donors, and election officials. Mike Flynn and Ivan Raiklin have been identified as enforcers ready to carry out these plans. Legal experts warn that Trump could follow through on these threats if he wins in November.
