       Trump, by all reports -- including what he says, quite openly, at his rallies -- intends to turn the Justice Department into a tool to attack his perceived enemiesAnother report on this from the Washington Post (free friend link):  https://wapo.st/3sqYKNFThe rule of law already has plenty of problems in the US ... but this would be an enormous shift in magnitude

       @clive It would mark a clear end to the rule of law, first and foremost. Everything else it would signal is of very little consequence once that happens.

       @clive @briankrebs The easiest way to get rid of a dictator is to not give him power to begin with.  Miss that one window of opportunity and you’re stuck with him — and his descendants — for generations.

       @maximum_mew Yeah — handing over absolute powers is a terrible idea, even to people you support I’m pretty sure they believe in the myth of the permanent rule of their preferred candidate
