"Vought, 48, is poised to steer this agenda from an influential perch in the White House, potentially as Trump's chief of staff, according to some people involved in discussions about a second term who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations."

"We are living in a post-Constitutional time," Vought wrote in a seminal 2022 essay, which argued that the left has corrupted the nation's laws and institutions.

Last week, after a jury convicted Trump of falsifying business records, Vought tweeted: "Do not tell me that we are living under the Constitution."

Vought aims to harness what he calls the "woke and weaponized" bureaucracy that stymied the former president by stocking federal agencies with hardcore disciples who would wage culture wars on abortion and immigration.

The proposals championed by Vought and other Trump allies to fundamentally reset the balance of power would represent a historic shift " one they see as a needed corrective."

"But in a sign of Vought's status as a key adviser, Trump and the Republican National Committee last month named him policy director for the 2024 platform committee " giving him a chance to push a party that did not adopt a platform in 2020 further to the right.

Trump personally blessed Vought's agenda at a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser for his group and said Vought would "do a great job in continuing our quest to make America great again."

"I am concerned that he is willing to embrace an ends-justify-the-means mentality," said Marc Short, formerly chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, who has said he won't endorse Trump.

Vought, Short added, is embracing "tactics of growing government and using the levers of power in the federal bureaucracy to fight our political opponents."

THIS is why we hear the constant drumming of all the rwing 'Deep State' Weaponization of Gov by Dems BS.. because that's exactly what these Traitors plan to do themselves.

"Morning Report " Some in GOP unhappy about Trump's revenge' agenda

Some GOP senators, whose overarching ambition is to wrest the majority from Democrats in November, believe Trump's talk of retaliatory prosecutions against former Biden administration officials is damaging to the party and other candidates " and to the country.

Moreover, there are some Republicans in the Senate who would rather not scuttle the appropriations process this year amid government shutdown risks by waging political war over the Justice Department's budget, as some conservative colleagues seem eager to do.

Trump's closest allies want to try to hobble Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith's prosecution of the former president using Congress's power of the purse.

For reasons that have nothing to do with budgeting, the government's prosecution of Trump for alleged election interference in 2020 is unlikely to come to trial before the election."
