'Trump is through with you': Legal expert delivers message to ex-president's former allies

If you cross The Don, he's done with you.

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance published her latest edition of her Substack newsletter "Civil Discourse" discussed the consequences of going against the 45th president and how many in the GOP appear to be blinded by his star power as he remains the frontrunner to recapture the party nomination for the White House.

Joyce writes that the House, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, can't get much done in the peoples' business beyond busying themselves with a fruitless impeachment of President Joe Biden.

"The House has yet to pass a budget for the fiscal year that began November 1, but go ahead and waste your time on meaningless impeachment votes in lieu of any number of necessary items that would demonstrate a real commitment to governing," she writes.

And why put Biden in the crosshairs less than a year before his reelection?

Joyce writes: "The only logical conclusion we can reach is Republicans aren’t interested in public service, only in holding onto power."

However, the Republicans rubbing their hands together and feasting to put Biden on trial are merely appeasing former President Donald Trump's agenda, without considering that he can quickly drop anybody when it fit his whims.

"Apparently it hasn’t dawned on some of them that the authoritarian they hope to return to the White House is with them for as long as they toe the line," according to Vance. "If you’re a Liz Cheney whose conscience bubbles over or a Mike Pence, who, despite moving even his water bottle in sync with Trump drew the line at rejecting a lawful vote for Joe Biden, Trump is through with you."

She contends that with Trump "the power is his."

And should he be voted back into office, Joyce believes he will go forward to wield his omnipotence and see to his ultimate goal of "damaging Joe Biden."

Power, as she recognizes it, won't be in the hands of the officials or even the Republican party, "or even to Trump’s current sycophants."

Rather she writes, the power "will be all his" — "Trump’s, to do with as he wishes."

But nobody appears willing to learn from history and this may prove consequential to the country.

"Even though everything Trump touches dies, including his House Speakers and his lawyers, Republicans do not seem to have learned the lesson," according to Vance. "And the rest of us have to suffer for it."
