Summary

Donald Trump told a Department of Justice crowd that his 2024 victory gave him a “mandate” for a broad investigation into Democratic corruption.

He attacked the courts for prosecuting him and praised his loyalist DOJ officials. Speaking at DOJ headquarters, he vowed to purge “rogue actors” and criticized judges, calling some “corrupt.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi introduced him, breaking DOJ tradition of independence.

Trump also called for legal action against news outlets and advocacy groups, claiming they are political operatives working against him.

    If it’s only 30k, it’s not big enough for that kind of plan. They would have to build a lot more, a lot bigger and a lot faster for that kind of plan to work.

      Only 30K?

      Its still nearly four times larger than the largest existing American prison, which is already 8 times times larger than the average prison.

      Clearly they have larger plans for incarceration than any previous administration.
