I'm leaning towards no cause Trump has won everything. It's more show for his base. However, some of the losers below him would love to. Jim Jordan, MTG, etc. Of course there's a difference between actual and made up crimes. That difference isn't important to Trump's base. (I think Musk below again highlights how "freedom to speech" is "freedom to BS" lol.)
On the night he recaptured the presidency, Donald J. Trump declared that “it’s time to unite” and “put the divisions

>>>“Will Trump retaliate?” asked
Gwenda Blair, a biographer of the Trump family. “Of course. The only question is how much will be broad-brush and how much will be targeted.”
“At the least,” she said, “there will be loud, highly publicized congressional investigations, special prosecutors and more than a few actual prosecutions. There will also be more quiet retaliation, in the form of tax audits, nonrenewal or cancellation of grants, programs, loans, firings and/or nonhirings.”<<<
>>>In the days since the election, some of Mr. Trump’s more combative allies have relished what they expect to be the coming reprisals. “Here’s my current mood,” Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, a group focused on appointing conservative judges,
wrote on social media. “I want to drag their dead political bodies through the streets, burn them, and throw them off the wall. (Legally, politically, and financially, of course.)”
Mr. Davis, who has dismissed speculation that he may be considered for attorney general,
added that “Trump’s opponents attempted to bankrupt him for non-fraud” and “imprison him for life for non-crimes,” so they are in no position to complain. In
an interview with the conservative online influencer Benny Johnson, Mr. Davis warned Letitia James, the New York attorney general, not to continue her legal efforts against Mr. Trump.
“Because listen here, sweetheart, we’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights.”<<<
>>>But some of those closest to him are pressing him to live up to past promises. Elon Musk, Mr. Trump’s billionaire patron, posted a video on Friday first taped by the former president nearly two years ago vowing “to shatter the left-wing censorship regime” that he blamed on “a sinister group of deep-state bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists and depraved corporate news media.”
Mr. Trump has accused federal officials and social companies of trying to suppress conservative speech, while they have said they were only trying to identify falsehoods about elections, vaccines and the like.
Mr. Trump said in the video that he would “order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime” and “to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified.” In reposting it, Mr. Musk, the owner of X, formally known as Twitter,
added, “YES.”<<<
