Donald J Trump has been again elected to President of the United States. Since then a flurry of news, cabinet appointments and even one step down already, but more is the flurry of activity in the deep state.
There is a lot to 'unpack' here, since instead of writing each of these up, I collected them to see them as a whole. I did single out the fact that the crooked Judge Merchan (see forth article below) is still seemingly planning on sentencing President Elect Trump on November 26, 2024. otherwise, just look at the fear and loathing going on.

"Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.

But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said."
“Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. “But this is a different world.”
