Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker claimed in a recent interview that Democrats will hold certain people from the Trump administration ‘accountable’ through criminal and civil prosecutions under a plan called Project 2029.
Remember, before the 2024 election, how the media hyped panic about Project 2025, a policy recommendation document from the Heritage Foundation? I doubt we’ll see the same hand-wringing over this.
FOX News reports:
Pritzker pushes prosecutions of Trump officials as part of Dem ‘Project 2029’ agendaIllinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker said Democrats should seek criminal prosecution against Trump administration and law enforcement officials who have “broken the law” if they were to gain control of the White House in 2028.Pritzker, who is running for a third gubernatorial term, sat down for an interview with The New York Times and proposed Democrats adopt their own version of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s conservative policy blueprint for presidential administrations released in nearly every election cycle since the 1980s.Pritzker dubbed the Democrats’ counter “Project 2029,” urging it to be quickly implemented to “restore the rule of law.””I don’t think you can speak of it in shorthand, but we’ve got to restore the rule of law, and that means holding people accountable who’ve broken the law,” Pritzker said. “I’m talking about the people in this administration who’ve broken the law and federal agents who’ve broken the law.”New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro asked Pritzker whether this meant Trump officials and law enforcement agents would face criminal prosecution.”Criminally prosecuted, civilly prosecuted,” Pritzker said. “Whatever it is that we can do.”
Watch below:
For months now, Democrats have been shrieking about Trump being on a ‘revenge tour.’ What do they call this?
It’s probably safe to assume some of this is just performative. Pritzker is likely to run in 2028, and this is an obvious attempt to excite the Dem base. They love talking about Trump and his people going to jail.
On The Five of FOX News, Greg Gutfeld offered a great response to this. Watch:
Have you noticed that the only people Democrats seem to want to prosecute are their political opponents? I think most people have.
