NEW YORK (AP) — A Donald Trump ally who worked in his Justice Department said Tuesday that if the former president is elected again, his administration will retaliate against people in the media “criminally or civilly.”

Kash Patel, who was also chief of staff in the Defense Department and held a role on the National Security Council, made the comment on Steve Bannon’s podcast. He said that, in a second Trump administration, “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media,” over the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

In a Fox News Channel interview later Tuesday,
Trump declined twice to say he would not abuse power to seek retribution in a second White House term.

“You mean like they’re using right now?” Trump responded to one question, alleging that the Biden administration was abusing power.

In his interview with Bannon, Patel said: “We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections. We’re going to come after you, whether it’s criminally or civilly. We’ll figure that out.

Donald Trump has promised he will "make heads spin" on his first day back in office on Monday, with a blitz of executive orders expected in the hours after he is sworn in as the 47th US president.

He has offered a preview of some of these yet-to-be-signed directives, saying they will target issues like illegal immigration, climate rules, diversity policies, classified documents and more.

It is common for presidents to sign a range of executive orders when they enter office. Such orders carry the weight of law but can be overturned by subsequent presidents or the courts.

But the scale of what Trump has planned could be unprecedented, with legal challenges expected.

Here is what to know.

Immigration and the border
Deportations

Trump has vowed to "launch the largest deportation program in American history", starting from day one.

He is expected to declare a national border emergency, and order the military to help secure the southern border, according to Fox News.

Trump has also said he will end a longtime policy that has kept federal immigration authorities from conducting raids on churches and schools.

Any mass deportation programme is expected to face logistical difficulties, billions in costs and a flurry of legal challenges.


Drug cartels

Trump is expected to classify drug cartels as "foreign terrorist organisations", putting them on a list alongside groups like Al Qaeda, so-called Islamic State and Hamas.

Hey, Brian.

Perhaps we could make this thread a bit more interesting if we asked Bobby or SerialBrain to name the 3 actors in the bottom part of that Twilight Zone image and the episodes they appeared in?

Would make a change from hearing about Donald Trump all the time.

Oh, Frank can play too if he wants. 

Hi Brian,
do you have any intellectual comment you'd like to make?

Today's word: succinct.

Sounds like Trump is going to spend all his time trying to prosecute and persecute those who deams wronged him....I cannot wait to see how petty and unhinged Trump's administration will be....How long before Trump is impeached for a third time???

No....Trump think's he can do anything he want's....The Constitution and rule of law will expose Trump again....Trump will be impeached again because he is a liar, crook and fraud who cannot help himself when he sees an advantage even if it is illegal....History has a way of repeating itself....Trump will be a failure again and blame everyone else....Americans are so stupid!!!
