The only way Trump can serve justice for the Biden administration's crimes?



Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, has a bolder plan than task forces to tackle political weaponization under the Biden administration.

“I think the answer to the problems, and frankly the political promises that have been made about weaponizing the government have been there the whole time, in terms of historical precedent,” Howell tells BlazeTV hosts Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on “Blaze News: The Mandate.”

“Countries and even the United States, over the course of history, have developed basically truth and reconciliation commissions, or committees, what have you, to deal with some of the biggest historical events and abuses, and I think that’s what we’re looking at when we look at what happened over the Biden administration,” he continues.

And he believes this needs to happen so America doesn’t see a repeat of his first administration.


“We learned this lesson in the first Trump administration. There was a lot of efforts to hold Hillary Clinton accountable, to even produce documents that could help inform what her and Obama did, and the first Trump administration decided not to do that, not to release those things, and to basically let Hillary and Company off,” Howell explains, adding, “I fear that we’re making the same mistake again right now.”

Howell believes that an entity that doesn’t work in the same offices being investigated, as well as one that sits at the top of the entire federal government, should have “the full powers of the government” in order to avoid following in the footsteps of Trump’s last stint as president.

“I’m talking about prosecutorial powers, the power to subpoena, the power to grant immunity, perhaps to recommend pardons, and then also the ability to use government funds to make wrongs right,” he explains.

“And once that exists, outside of, you know, the standard apparatus that we’re used to, I think things start moving along,” he adds.

Will YOU be put on a list for supporting President Trump?



It started with former Obama administration official Robert Reich, who suggested weeks ago that a post-Trump America will need a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" to right the alleged wrongs committed, not only by President Trump, but by his supporters as well. And now, that idea is spreading more and more among the far Left.

In response, reporter Drew Holden compiled his own list — one that exposes all the Leftists suggesting similar ideas to Reich's, such as creating an archive of Trump voters and donors so that they can be shunned from "polite society."

On the radio program Tuesday, Glenn Beck reacted to Holden's long list of Leftists who are threatening retribution against the president and his supporters. He also talked about the Trump Accountability Project, a website that lists public officials, judges, media personalities, and other Trump supporters who should be held "accountable for their words and actions."

Robert Reich proposes post-election commission to censor and blacklist Trump supporters — and leftists on Twitter salivate over the idea



University of California-Berkeley professor and former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich proposed the radical idea for a post-election commission to censor speech and name and shame every public figure who supported President Donald Trump's rise to power.

He wrote on Twitter over the weekend that "when this nightmare" — or Trump's presidency — "is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump's lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe."

Read plainly, it appears Reich is envisioning a committee that would oversee a massive censorship campaign of things purported to be "lies" by the president and a massive blacklist campaign of Trump supporters. Both of which sound like characteristics of dictatorial transitions of power that occur in third-world countries.

Leftists on Twitter salivate

In response to the tweet, several Twitter followers agreed and even raised the stakes of his proposal.

"I am thinking more of using the postwar Nuremberg Trials as a template," one Twitter user wrote, speculating that criminal trials should be in order. "Felonies were committed as were treasonous behaviors. The guilty should be arrested, tried, convicted and forced to do time."

"Prosecute them all," another said. "The [Justice Department] will hire new attorneys, the media will be fed by the trials, and Biden and his administration can focus on policy and government reform. We are broken and need to be restructured so this can never happen again. Or it's a lot harder to repeat."

Another added Supreme Court-packing and the abolition of the Electoral College to the commission's list of to-dos in order to "ensure that this can never happen again."

Still another suggested the commission be named the Truth and Consequences Commission and argued that "at the very least, there need to be a lot of people banned from government service for life, including all federal LEO's who committed crimes or abused authorities because they thought the admin would cover for them."

Someone else suggested the commission should "review all of the federal judges that have been appointed [by Trump], and kick those out that aren't qualified." So much for the president's constitutional authority to appoint judges.

Anything else?

In a subsequent tweet responding to some Twitter users who rejected his proposal, Reich posted an article that laid out arguments for a truth and reconciliation commission.

"As long as unresolved historic injustices continue to fester in the world, there will be a demand for truth commissions," the article stated. "The goal of a truth commission ... is to hold public hearings to establish the scale and impact of a past injustice, typically involving wide-scale human rights abuses, and make it part of the permanent, unassailable public record."

In the article, the author points to Canada's recent commission to address "historic injustices perpetrated against Canada's Indigenous peoples" and South Africa's commission to address apartheid as models.
