Lap dogs supported by unknown people with unknown agendas are bad, but there is something worse.

I'm worried that Trump and his team may have, before 2028, so captured our justice apparatus that no one was able to effectively oppose their chosen 2028 candidate.  A world where opposing donors and journalists are constantly harassed and some go to jail.

Based on what?  He held the office for 4 years and wasn't successful in accomplishing what you suggest above.  He had an opportunity to put 3 conservative justices on the high court.  The difference between conservative justices and libs is that the conservatives that find themselves on the court apparently don't vote in lock step to the same degree the libs do.  They are conservative, yet based on how votes break down and how they've historically broken down in recent memory appear to, as a group, be much more fair and open minded and less activist than their lib counterparts.  That doesn't lend itself to "capturing the justice apparatus".  Also, didn't some Trump appointed judges in lower courts thwart his efforts in contesting the previous election results?

The current regime is actively involved at this very moment in an attempt to put him, their political rival, in jail, yet you hurl the accusation for such behavior back at him?  We know the Biden regime met with the Georgia prosecution team.  An official from the current regime also left to join the prosecution team in NY.  The previous Obama regime spied on his campaign in an attempt to illegally thwart his election. Everything you are saying will happen has either already relatively recently happened in reverse or is happening now with willing accomplices in the media to shield your eyes for you.  You're more worried about a potential turnabout than the actual crimes of the current and former Democratic administrations?  This is why people here generally don't take you seriously when you self identify as right leaning and/or Republican. It's selective outrage that almost always falls the same way coupled with jumping into political threads to 'splain for everyone why Dem individuals or Dem causes are really virtuous and should be above reproach.  You can have the last word, but I'm probably done with this for now.  Too much of a time waste.

He appointed 3 justices.  He thought that would be enough for plan A. They didn't help him in 2020 or January 2021. 
But they're helping him now.
And there is nothing wrong with prosecutors talking to each other.
Remember 9/11? We all got together and said that prosecutors and investigators at various levels need to get better at talking to each other.
There is nothing wrong with investigating a campaign for its connections to a foreign adversary if there is reasonable suspicion that those connections exist.  There is no evidence that any information not relevant to Russia was actually gleaned, and no evidence that Hillary got any information about Trump as a result of that investigation.
There is nothing wrong with trying to throw Trump in jail if you can prove that Trump actually committed crimes.  And in GA they can, it's a slam dunk.  The classified documents and federal fraud charges are also air-tight.  Do you somehow think Biden should be in jail? For what crime?

You're just a trainwreck of false equivalencies and red herrings at this point.

So you finally admit that you're not a Republican..

Congrats!!

The denial stage wasn't very becoming of you..

I only admit to being a liberal and only in the sense of believing in limited government, where anyone can have influence, and laws apply equally to everyone.  
You can call me looney if you want, I've called you worse.
