It Is Called 18 U.S.Code § 242

Trump needs to teach a lesson the establishment will never forget - that persecuting your political opponents under the color of law will never be tolerated.

No jokes today because the cavalcade of folk running scared saying Trump will weaponize the DOJ and target his political enemies is full of shit. I can say this objectively without fear of retribution outside of words being hurled my way (sticks and stones) because it is true.

Regular folk know the difference between revenge, retribution, and accountability. What we, the people, and hopefully, the incoming administration seek is accountability. Retribution is punishment considered morally right or deserved in response to a wrongdoing or offense. It’s often used in contexts like justice systems or personal grievances, where someone seeks to balance or make amends for harm done. Retribution differs from revenge in that it aims to restore a sense of fairness rather than act out of personal vendetta.

Revenge is the act of inflicting harm, injury, or punishment on someone as a response to a perceived wrong or hurt. Unlike retribution, which is often associated with a fair and balanced form of justice, revenge tends to be more personal, emotionally driven, and focused on satisfying the individual's desire for retaliation. Revenge can sometimes lead to escalating cycles of harm between people or groups, as each act of revenge may provoke a new response.

Accountability is the obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for one’s actions, decisions, or behaviors. It involves acknowledging mistakes or successes and being answerable to others, such as supervisors, teammates, or the public. Accountability is crucial in maintaining trust and integrity, as it shows a commitment to transparency and ethical standards. In a workplace or team setting, accountability helps ensure that everyone contributes to shared goals and is dependable in their roles. It also fosters a culture of improvement and growth, as people are encouraged to own both their achievements and areas for development.

All of the folk involved in promulgating all the fake news, lawfare, and shame investigations should be held to account. Not know anything about the law, but I am aware of some laws, one of which is 18 U.S.Code § 242. Under 18 U.S. Code § 242, it is a crime for anyone acting "under color of any law" to willfully deprive another person of any rights, privileges, or immunities protected by the U.S. Constitution or laws. This statute applies to government officials and others who act with the authority of local, state, or federal government. The phrase "under color of law" refers to actions taken by officials within their official capacity or appearance of authority, even if they misuse that authority.

"Deprivation of rights under color of law" refers to a violation where an individual, often a government official or someone acting with authority, unlawfully infringes on another person’s constitutional or legal rights while appearing to act within their official capacity. This is specifically addressed under 18 U.S. Code § 242, which makes it a federal crime for anyone acting "under color of any law" to willfully deprive someone of rights protected by the U.S. Constitution or federal law. "Under color of law" means the person is using their power, granted by local, state, or federal authority, to justify their actions, even though what they are doing is unlawful.

Since Trump’s astounding election victory, media heads and deep state bureaucratic have become more defensive and worried about a 47 Department of Justice or the House Republicans investigating them. I say make it a reality by invoking 18 U.S. Code § 242. There are many I would consider using this federal law against and here are a few.

• Letitia James: Maybe bringing her into testimony or hitting her with prosecutorial misconduct, malicious prosecution, and colluding with the Biden justice department should be investigated. During her initial campaign for attorney general, James made headlines for emphasizing her intent to hold Trump accountable. The New York Attorney General has been a focal point in Donald Trump's legal challenges, primarily due to her civil fraud lawsuit against him and the Trump Organization. This case alleges that Trump significantly inflated the value of his assets to secure favorable loans and tax benefits. James has pursued penalties, including a ban on Trump operating businesses in New York and substantial financial fines​.

• Peter Strzok: Strzok, a former FBI agent, was a central figure in controversies involving former President Trump due to his role in high-profile investigations and the disclosure of private texts that revealed his personal opinions. Strzok was part of the FBI’s investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Strzok was a senior FBI official involved in the counterintelligence investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, which included examining possible connections between Trump campaign associates and Russian officials. During the 2016 election, Strzok exchanged thousands of text messages with Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer with whom he had a personal relationship. Some of these texts, later released publicly, expressed negative opinions about Trump were critical of his candidacy, and demonstrated that Strzok and the FBI were biased against him.

• Lisa Page: Page, a former FBI lawyer, served as legal counsel to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and was involved in high-profile FBI investigations, including the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. She was part of a broader debate around impartiality within the FBI, privacy for government employees, and the impact of public criticism by high-level officials.

• Bruce Ohr: Ohr, a former high-ranking official in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), had a major role in the early stages of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Ohr's connections to Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer behind the infamous Steele dossier, and Ohr's wife's involvement with Fusion GPS, the firm that commissioned the dossier, pushed this false narrative. The FBI later used the dossier as part of its application for a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign advisor. Ohr was part of a "deep state" effort to undermine Trump’s presidency and was demoted twice within the DOJ and eventually testified before Congress in 2018.

• Kevin Clinesmith: Clinesmith, a former FBI attorney, became a central figure in controversies surrounding the Russia investigation and Donald Trump due to his role in altering an email related to the surveillance of former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. This incident of FBI misconduct and bias within the intelligence community is on-face criminal. Clinesmith was an attorney within the FBI’s Office of General Counsel and worked on the Crossfire Hurricane team, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential connections to Trump’s campaign. His work involved helping the FBI secure Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants to surveil individuals, including Carter Page, who was suspected of ties to Russia. In 2017, while preparing for the renewal of a FISA warrant on Carter Page, Clinesmith altered an email from the CIA that originally stated Page had previously acted as an “operational contact” for the agency. Clinesmith changed the email to indicate that Page had not been a source for the CIA. This altered information was then included in the FISA renewal application, contributing to the continued surveillance of Page.

• John Brennan: I cannot say enough about this mutha fucka. Brennan, a former CIA Director under President Obama, played a prominent role in the U.S. government's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Brennan became a vocal critic of then-President Donald Trump, particularly regarding Trump’s alleged connections to Russia and his handling of U.S. intelligence agencies. During Brennan’s tenure, the CIA and other intelligence agencies concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Trump's candidacy. This led to a broader investigation involving the FBI, later overseen by Special Counsel Robert Mueller at a cost of nearly $32 million. He testified before Congress in 2017, expressing concern about contacts between Trump associates and Russian officials. He stated these interactions raised questions about potential collusion, though he did not present direct evidence of wrongdoing.

• Asif W. Rahman: Rahman is a former CIA official recently charged under the Espionage Act for allegedly leaking classified documents about Israeli military plans. The leaked information reportedly detailed Israel's preparations for a potential retaliatory strike on Iran following an earlier missile attack. The documents, which included sensitive satellite-based intelligence, were shared on the encrypted messaging platform Telegram, leading to an investigation by U.S. intelligence agencies. Rahman, who held top-secret clearance and worked overseas for the CIA, was arrested by the FBI in Cambodia and is set to face trial in a U.S. federal court. The incident has raised concerns about internal security and the implications of leaked military intelligence on U.S. relations with allies like Israel

• Andrew McCabe: McCabe, former Deputy Director of the FBI, became a central figure in controversies surrounding the FBI's investigation into Donald Trump's campaign and its connections to Russia, particularly regarding the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) process. Under McCabe's leadership, the FBI sought and obtained FISA warrants to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser. These warrants were based partly on information from the Steele dossier, which contained allegations about Trump's ties to Russia. McCabe approved steps related to the FISA application for Carter Page. The process was criticized after a 2019 Department of Justice Inspector General (DOJ IG) report found significant errors and omissions in the FISA applications, including reliance on unverified or misleading information from the Steele dossier.

• Rod Rosenstein: As Deputy Attorney General, oversaw the FBI’s Russia investigation and the use of FISA warrants under his leadership. His interactions with Donald Trump, James Comey, and the broader context of the investigation remain highly scrutinized. He approved the final FISA renewal application for surveillance on Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser. This application relied, in part, on the Steele dossier, which was later criticized for containing unverified and inaccurate information. Rosenstein lied to Congress that he was unaware of these issues when he signed the warrant.

Now sure, there are others. I could throw Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, James Comey, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III in the mix, as well as Alvin Leonard Bragg, Fani Willis, Colorado, Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, but there are better things for future AG Matt Gaetz to focus on. But the folk above need to be held accountable.

Like I said, no jokes today. If someone is found guilty under this statute, penalties can range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the severity of the violation. In cases where the violation leads to bodily injury or death, the penalties can be even more severe, including life imprisonment or the death penalty. When or if this happens, it will not be about revenge. It will not be about retribution. It will be about accountability. It will be about protecting and preserving the United States of America.

You see, what you did in persecuting your political opponents under the color of law was Hitlerian. It was Stalinistic. It was unprecedented in US history. Your lawfare was the stuff of genocidal dictators, and it can never be allowed to happen in the USA again.

What Trump is going to do is teach you such a scorched earth lesson that it will make Sherman’s March through Georgia look like a Joe Biden ice cream party. He is going to make sure that you and everyone like you never, ever, ever inflict such incredible damage on the USA and its system of justice ever again. He is teaching you a lesson you will never forget, and that way he will preserve our Republic. Deal with it, because you earned it.
