Raw Story: Jack Smith's team preparing now for Trump retribution extending even to spouses: report
Raw Story - Jack Smith's team preparing now for Trump retribution extending even to spouses: report

Donald Trump has promised revenge and retribution against special counsel Jack Smith after the appointed prosecutor was brought into the Justice Department to investigate suspected crimes from the ex-president.
According to Rolling Stone, a source said that those working under Smith's team "preemptively reviewed their private and professional communications, to make sure they hadn’t written anything that could be subpoenaed, publicly revealed, and used against them to paint a narrative of alleged misconduct or supposed anti-Trump bias."
The source further said that "some federal investigators, including more junior staff, have talked to attorneys and legal groups about possible ways a rejuvenated Trump Justice Department could try to make their lives hell, what precautionary measures they should take, and even how to avoid going bankrupt if the revenge probes come in full force."
Rolling Stone revealed that one investigator is looking for ways to protect their spouse's assets out of fear that Trump's DOJ will issue criminal charges.
"They want to make sure they are protected if worse comes to worst," a source said.
