We continue referencing the key staffing challenges and positions for Trump 2025, in part to frame a proactive outline and in part to highlight the challenges within several positions that have been corrupted by the administrative state. Today we look at Main Justice, the DOJ in DC.
Main Justice works closely with the FBI on what is loosely termed federal “law and order.” We will address the FBI silo in another outline, choosing to focus exclusively on Main Justice first. There are several positions within the DOJ that are familiar as a result of the modern weaponization that took place.
FBI HQ left, Main Justice HQ right
As an institution, Main Justice is now almost exclusively a Lawfare targeting mechanism. The Dept of Justice unilaterally focuses all criminal investigative resources against the political enemies of the Administrative State.
This is not to say Republicans are targets, because often the republicans are beneficiaries of the targeting operation. Think about the example of Main Justice working with the IRS to target the Tea Party groups in 2010 and 2011.
The Republicans were much more opposed to the Tea Party than the Democrats were. The professional republican apparatus was furious about the primary victories of the Tea Party, and subsequently benefitted from the DOJ targeting of the various patriot movements.
Main Justice targets individuals, organizations and systems that government officials and politicians determine are a threat to the power structure. The Intelligence Community use their ability to conduct electronic surveillance to discover evidence against their targets. The IC then feeds the evidence to Main Justice giving them the targeting coordinates. The DOJ takes action based on the information from the IC, often using the FBI as the enforcement mechanism.
The entire structure of Main Justice as an institution is corrupt, top to bottom. Much like the FBI, there is no agency, office, or subsidiary set of personnel within the DOJ that is not compromised by the modern mission of the organization. This is a critical point to accept, because if it is not accepted then we repeat the mistakes of thinking an Attorney General alone can correct the problem. They cannot.
Within the DOJ there are several divisions that must be addressed simultaneously if any effort to take it down to brass tacks is going to succeed. This cannot be a delicate surgical approach, the effort to remove the corrupt lesion will need chainsaws not scalpels. The fine surgical details and cleaning will be for the next administration.
The interior silos each have an important role, and they include: (1) the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), (2) the DOJ Civil Rights Division, (3) the DOJ-Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS), and (4) the DOJ Inspector General’s Office. These are the four key agencies within the larger Main Justice system that must be addressed from DC.
Of those FOUR AGENCIES, the single most important one is the DOJ-National Security Division (DOJ-NSD). This is the interior silo that was corrupted from its origin and remained intentionally without Inspector General oversight until 2017.
When we think of the common Lawfare targeting the enemies of the Deep State like Donald Trump, that’s the core purpose of the DOJ-NSD.
DOJ-NSD: […] ” The National Security Division (NSD) was created in March 2006 by the USA PATRIOT Reauthorization and Improvement Act (Pub. L. No. 109-177). The creation of the NSD consolidated the Justice Department’s primary national security operations: the former Office of Intelligence Policy and Review and the Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence and Export Control Sections of the Criminal Division. The new Office of Law and Policy and the Executive Office, as well as the Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism (which previously operated out of the Criminal Division) complete the NSD. The NSD commenced operations in September 2006 upon the swearing in of the first Assistant Attorney General for National Security.” (link)
The DOJ-NSD hides behind the justification of “national security” to cloud their activity. In many ways the DOJ-NSD and the CIA have the same cover story that allows them virtually omnipotent power.
The President has previously been hamstrung by the claimed importance and power of agencies under the guise of national security. As you can see from the origin, the Legislative Branch created the beast then cowered away from oversight. The worst outcome stemmed from the Judicial Branch who historically deferred to the national security apparatus.
To understand the dynamic with the Judicial Branch it is worth looking at the outcome of the DOJ-NSD targeting President Trump on the issue of classified records. Check the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals framing.
As you can see the DOJ-NSD knows how to use “national security” as a sword and a shield. This is essentially the issue now created by the DOJ-NSD targeting President Trump.
With the Legislative Branch compromised by their own creation, and with the Judicial Branch stuck inside an old paradigm of “national security” you can see how confronting the DOJ-NSD can only come from one place, THE OVAL OFFICE.
The President of the United States, hopefully Donald J Trump, is going to have to do what the other branches have failed to do, take apart the DOJ-NSD and remove all the functions of Main Justice to their pre-Patriot Act status. This is not going to be easy and will take a very specific type of person as U.S. Attorney General who both understands the issue and can, more importantly, articulate the problem to the larger American public.
So, we have some context for the positions that will be important. We need:
♦ An Attorney General (AG);
♦ A Deputy Attorney General (DAG);
♦ An Asst Deputy AG in charge of the NSD;
♦ An Asst Deputy AG in charge of the Civil Rights Division.
♦ And we need a key person in charge of the ultra-secretive DOJ Community Relations Service.
We need more, but these are the most critical positions to cover – AND REMEMBER, not a single person who has ever worked in Main Justice should ever be considered a candidate for any leadership position in 2025. If they worked in the corrupt DOJ system, they are corrupt – I do not care what capacity they worked in it before.
♦ The AG needs to be ultra clean with a spine of steel and a laser focus. The AG needs to totally understand the goals and objectives, without being told what the goals and objectives are. The AG needs to be independent, stable, strategic, brutally honest and keenly confident in his/her communication style with the attack media.
President Trump cannot spend exhaustive time instructing the AG on critical priorities. The AG needs to operate with skill, focus and self-motivated energy. The AG will be the focus of the Lawfare crew for removal/recusal. (Weissmann, McCord, Eisen, etc.)
♦ The Deputy AG needs to be intensely capable to stay on task with minimal supervision. The DAG is the git-r’-done person, no excuses, no apologies, no explanations. Raw, brutal, cold, quiet and determined. The DAG needs eyes of a mouse and ears of an elephant. The DAG needs to be a sponge, with total loyalty to the mission. The DAG also needs to be the bridge to the FBI.
♦ The Asst DAG in charge of the NSD will be walking into the heart of Obama/Holder’s created snake pit. This DOJ-NSD position covers Foreign Agent Registration Act violations (targeting) as well as the weaponized FISA constructs. The person put into this silo needs to completely understand the dynamic of the DOJ-NSD as the source of the most weaponized aspects.
♦ The Asst DAG in charge of the Civil Rights Division will be critical for all elements of election reform. The ADAG-CRD is going to be attacked, called racist and blasted by the Lawfare operatives. The Civil Rights Division DAG will be targeted by Marc Elias and hundreds of activist lawyers inside every aligned non-governmental agency who depends on the DOJ for enforcement and support.
♦ The person in charge of the CRS will need to head-off the FBI constructs and false flag attacks targeting the Trump administration. The CRS leadership will need to protect all of the DOJ team from the Antifa/BLM efforts as they are manufactured by the FBI silo operators.
Potential candidates:
♦ Attorney General – Ken Paxton (TX)
♦ Deputy AG – Jeff Landry (LA)
♦ Deputy AG NSD – Sidney Powell
♦ Deputy AG Civil Rights Division – Byron Donalds
♦ Community Relations Service – Vivek Ramaswamy

The key point for the DOJ is what it won’t do!
It won’t oppose nullification, Federalism, and experimentation.
I like your potential choices Sundance – Especially Ken Paxton for AG. The man is a spiritual warrior and true patriot! And a damn good attorney to boot!!
Byron Donalds is not an attorney, so would be an unusual appointment.
Neither was the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King
Was Dr Martin Luther King a Deputy AG?
I like your potential candidates list.
LOVE this list, SD!
Fabulous choices!
Great suggestions on staffing!
DOJ/FBI, probably more so than the IC, needs to be gutted; its members scattered and removed of all access to the levers of government; and the totality of its criminal conduct laid bare through declassification of current and past Lawfare (and other) targeting.
I noticed FBI Director isn’t on this list, perhaps the topic of the next post. That person, too, will need a steel spine and a willingness to reveal the FBI to the public as it truly is.
Great description of the scope of the problem, and a good list of appointees, I also advocate Ken Paxton for AG. However, there may be some amount of people with prior experience in DOJ that would provide value and are clearly on the same side. I don’t see a Trump DOJ where Jeff Clark is not heading up one of those divisions. Given what he was alleged to have done last time, along with the multiple attack vectors they have taken against him, it’s hard to question his bona fides. That’s an example of someone with battle experience who is actually on mission with us and could hit the beach day one and produce results.
And while we’re at it why not defang the beast and pull the law licence of Elias, McCord and the rest who have clearly abused them.
I’m thinking that these leader roles don’t necessarily need people with law skills, he needs ADMINISTRATIVE skills.
Great picks–except Ramaswampy.
Vivek was intimately involved with DARPA in creating the Clot Shot Nano-lipids. BlackRock/CIA funded his campaign by buying his stock at over-inflated prices.
Yeah–he talks a good game. Too good.
Whoever takes over at the DOJ, they are going to have to fire the top 3 levels of each department. On top of that, they are going to have to oust all the Ramspecks that are social justice moles dug in three layers below that.
Wow! I must be a super-dee-duper Treeper! I had this list in mind the moment Sundance announced the creation of these “key position” lists!
I feel enlightened and educated. I feel like this one Department could restore so much trust, liberty and freedom that our citizens might begin to restore their “trust” (with verification!) in government. NAH…maybe not.
At the very least, this lineup might begin to peel back the layers of corruption within the halls of the DOJ!
You realize neither Paxton or Sydney Powell would ever be confirmed, right? Half the Republicans would vote against them and all the Dems.
Our side must come up with a workable plan to FORCE the Senate to approve of Mr. Trump’s nominees. Or else is 2017 and failure.
What would that be? Take to the streets of each State Capitol? Trucker’s strike? General strike?
The call-out would have to come from the President himself. I’m confident we would all respond – enough anyway.
It would have to be a Constitutionally protected, PEACEFUL demonstration of strength and unity. WE, the people would definitely be the ones to “call it.”
We must assert our strength as ONE nation, a *constitutional* rejection of their unrelenting attacks on our Constitutional Republic, starting with “emergency powers.”
Coincidentally, *peaceful* demonstrations conform with God’s commandments. No violent agitators can be tolerated.
It only takes ONE MAGA Senator to reject the Unanimous Consent motion to keep the Senate in session in order to keep Trump from making recess appointments. That is how McConnell blocked Trump 2017-2020.
Elect just ONE MAGA Senator and the bs stops. That’s why the Dems are pouring money into the MT, OH, and AZ senate races. 🙄
Ron Johnson of WI will prob retire in 2028, so he might be willing to stand in the gap. Pretty goof guy.
Praying for Kari Lake!!!
Did you ever notice the senate picks their battles?
the senate is still with the mindset that the executive branch doesn’t mean squat
its the SES that has power 1& it’s about time they got downsized:think Chris Wray & Mayorkas
Anyone booted from the DOJ and FBI needs to have ALL his/her government security clearances REVOKED.
Any of these people attempting then to gain access to national secrets should be PROSECUTED as should any potential accomplice inside the wire.
Knowledge IS power. Cut these traitors COMPLETELY OFF FROM ACCESSING GOVERNMENT SECRETS.
Lacking credentials/clearances could also affect their absorption into the fascist corporate world after government employment. I’ll bet the Treepers who hold/held such clearances could comment on that potential with authority.
The rule of thumb on removing clearances is they are reinstatable if the clearance is needed within 24 months of debriefing. If there isn’t some kind of flag or alert in the clearance database, these clearances can be immediately and easily reinstated. Someone needs to make sure they choose the correct reason when they are debriefed.
And prosecute them and take all their ill gotten gains in form of houses, cash, whatever.
No person leaving government service should retain his security clearance, said clearance being terminated upon exit. Future employment of that person by any entity which requires a clearance should indicate a new application for an appropriate clearance.
Unless debriefed for cause, i.e., adverse information on the cleared employee, any clearance can be reinstated within 24 months of the debrief. After that time, they have to go thru the entire clearance process.
Exactly my thoughts as well, and the ability to become a lobbyist removed!
Sidney Powell has been my Patriot Hero since 2016!
Read her books, like her looks!!
She makes Lawyers look good and Noble!
She’s a Tiger!!
I want to hear her say, “Go Get ’em boys” “lock her up” and “book ’em Dano”
MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA 24/7
Didn’t she cave in North Carolina and plead guilty to bogus charges?
She did plead guilty to some bogus misdemeanor charges, in Georgia I believe.
Just another political prosecution.
On because she was faced wih having to pay an insane amount of money for a phony conviction on bogus charges.

Good evening, Sundance,
I am so glad that you have placed Ken Paxton at the head of this ship of law and justice. As well as I am in full agreement of your selection of Sidney Powell. She fought for the stolen election to be recognized for the crime that it remains. And she has suffered from being dragged through the Democrat and lawfare media smear publicity news-making machines. Byron MacDonalds, yes, I respect him very much. Mr. Landry is a person of whom I know nothing about, and cannot share any comment—since, no opinion do I have. But, Vivek Ramaswamy is a man whom I do not endorse for any position in the Trump administration, no. 47. Maybe, it is a lingering bias that I hold onto, but Ramaswamy is a pharmaceutical industry innovator, and investor, and corporate business owner—pharmaceutical industry players are participants in crime networks by big government authorization to perform. Surely he knew of the killer frauds perpetuated upon every living person on earth, by the un-natural, pumped covid virus, the immoral absence of clinical trial justification, the legal immunity from gene therapies erroneously named ‘vaccines’ for a disease that does not exist (i.e. corona viruses do not cause diseases—they cause flus and common colds)….And do you remember when Ramaswamy plagirized (not verbatum) his self introduction to prospective voters, from Barack Hussein Obama—affecting a similar persona while delivering his intro. remarks…..And, I still remember reading his name on the list of Young Leaders of the World Economic Forum—if a person accepts money from an organization, or any individual, that taker of the monies will have a “soft spot” in his/her heart for anything with which that “grantor” is identified by association. That’s human nature. Understanding human nature is what human beings do well—-not rocket science. Best wishes, Joanne
Well said.
I love the suggestions! People who have been sting by the abuse are best to fix the corruption. Principled and smart, those listed have been on the front lines and know action.
Excellent choices!
This series has been extremely beneficial in setting the scene and putting the characters in place.
You are like an artist of prose, carefully drawing the “paint by number” picture then giving us the colors to complete the masterpiece.
How many illegals could be crammed into the old FBI building to live? I really would like to see the new building deal pulled out from underneath the FBI.
No Kash Patel at DOJ?
I hope Trump isn’t still thinking of a new (5x) headquarters for the FBI, dumb idea and a waste of money.
Sundance Hats Off.
It’s a mistake to appoint anyone to an agency that needs to be burned down. Just end the funding. Just keep firing the heads of that bureau. Make it someone else’s problem.
If you’re going to win an election you have to state beforehand that I have a mandate to bring in my people on day one and list those people. If you win then you can flaunt that to your opposition.
Gotta stop with all the deal-making. Trump got famous for saying “You’re fired”. He really needs to become that guy again a week before the election.
Also imperative: careful monitoring of access to to classified data for starters, people leaving (or demoted within) the IC need to be stripped of their security clearances, along with all those “contractors.”
I just can’t trust anyone. That’s because so many who I have trusted in the past, turned out to be either corrupt or anti-Constitutional turn-coats or both. I think the DOJ must be marginalized, limited to a federal advisory role. Federal power simply cannot be trusted to a centralized government operation. At least push enforcement actions down to the state levels.
Same with the FBI. Blow it up, and start over again, limiting it to a lab/research and advisory role for state and local law enforcement. Better yet, reduce the number of “career FBI agents” and staff to a minimum, recruiting and transferring in staff from state and local law enforcement wearing dual hats (i.e. their original state/local positions, cross-decked into a Federal role) for five or ten year stints. The countries “Pretorian Guard” FBI has turned into a American version of the STASI. Indeed, it’s always been a semi-political organization. America can’t forward that kind of power at a Federal level. The FBI has proven it. We don’t need armed, FBI agents, FBI HRT teams, or other FBI staff with “powers of arrest” authority, to enforce Federal law within American states.
Agree. I also agree with the old saying “come in with guns blazing.” That is what Trump has to do – no more Mr. Nice Guy. Our country does not have time for that. Trump will be hired to clean house and that is what we the people expect – bigly. Nothing less will suffice.
Pretty darned smart; these are solid candidates.
Those are brilliant nominations! The only problem is that Vivek is going to want a bigger position than head of something most people have never heard of. He won’t take that job. He needs to be helping RFK Jr. slay the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Can’t we just shutter the CRS? Have Congress defund it!?
Vivek made his wealth inside the pHarmaceutical industry.
Glad to see Sidney Powell on the list! No one has worked as tirelessly and faithfully as she has, in my opinion, and under constant attack. She has not wavered. A principled Christian woman.
Issue forth a Presidential pardon for Hillary. It may require a search of her home previous to the pardon but the point is to remove her jeopardy and make her tell all. Set up a Presidential commission where the inquiry isn’t 5 minute rounds of questions, rather weeks of testimony. Make her squirm. Make her admit everything. Then move on to pardon the next guy- Misfud or Steele or some worm from the FBI.
Who cares if they really belong in prison? They always get sweet deals anyway. Make them tell the truth.
Most inane obtuse post ever written. Every individual you list and those that you imply have committed known crimes. Just because they haven’t been prosecuted doesn’t automatically negate or make their crimes null and void. Bottom line, we don’t need any more freaking politicized trials and lawyers that last years and cost the taxpayers millions of dollars where convenient plea deals are actually made. That said, the numerous coup participants and traitors that would qualify for your list have only one defined legal path to take. Tribunals and the final sentence. I guess according to you, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg should have been pardoned if they cut a deal to tell “prosecutors” how they gave away our nuclear secrets to the Russians?
Once pardoned, one cannot “plead the fifth”on crimes pardoned,they would be forced to divulge everything or face contempt or perjury. They would not be defendants rather witnesses to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The ramifications of the truth would be far superior politically than personally to an individual.
Sorry about being inanely obtuse, maybe try reading for comprehension.
If the Rosenbergs could expose a wider Communist conspiracy, yes.
Your myopic vision is noted. FYI they don’t have to say squat and they’re lawyered up to the hilt. So good luck with that. Note the actual objective is to eliminate the ability of specific government agencies and their affiliates to perform surveillance and follow up prosecution of US citizens whose political leanings are deemed in opposition to the objectives and goals (undermine the Constitution/rule of law and deconstruct our Constitution Republic for wealth and power) of the deep state. It’s not to have a multitude of costly lengthy Congressional/legal proceedings or whatever that only nip at the edges of the problem. Time is of the essence and the window of opportunity to throw a monkey wrench into the heart of the operation that can initiate a permanent change is closing.
The traitors who committed the worst crimes against the people MUST pay a heavy price – if only to deter anyone else even thinking about doing the same.
Once “pardoned”, they would have zero incentive to provide any information whatsoever.
The term you are seeking is “immunity”, not “pardon”.
Immunity deals are quid pro quo. The govt legally promises not to prosecute for any crimes the individual committed if they in turn provide evidence leading to the formal accusation and conviction of more important targets of an investigation. Immunity deals are entirely contingent on the party providing both the quantity and quality of evidence required.
Sounds like winners to me Sundance.
Vivek for Community Relations..
I don’t think he would accept the position. He has bigger and greater things in mind. Not that they will happen. But who knows. I just hope Trump (or someone therein) gets some kind of influence from SD.
I always remind everyone, if we in Texas lose Paxton, Texas goes blue. He is the ONLY one holding the line here. Our governor is a Bushie, our legislature is controlled by the Democrats even tho’ the Republicans hold a majority. Just think about this
Sorry, but if the Union falls so do the States.
The DOJ garners all the attention but don’t forget the DHS. They are the largest clearing house for money used to diminish our freedoms. They run everything these days, even parts that used to belong to the departments of Treasury and Agriculture.
I Blame “Dubya” and Cheney directly.
terrific essay, Sundance. everyone should read this
Didn’t Sidney Powell take a plea in one of the election cases. I get that she was under intense pressure, threatened with a million years in prison but it does raise a question as to whether she can withstand the pressure.
Now put yourself in that same position where you are falsely accused and the weight of a corrupt legal system is confronting you. When considering the safety of your family and yourself, how noble are you going to be?
Excellent treatise, Sundance. Thank you. I hope this happens exactly as you have proposed.
Absolutely YES to AG Paxton!!!
👊👊❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love this, except for Vivek. I’d put him in a more prominent role at Commerce…..or, if Trump is grooming him as a future leader, somewhere at State so he can get a more well rounded resume for an eventual run.
Hoooly Wow Sundance!
this selection of candidates is powerful!
Just think Folks
This lineup will rid this nation of Lawfare by removing Soros funded
thugs. This lineup will protect every citizens civil rights. This line up will protect written laws & the constitution. This lineup will the NSD: think the machine behind the Russia Hoax
this is an exciting list that will #MAGA SO OUR PRESIDENT CAN GET RIGHT TO WORK ON HIS AGENDA TO SAVE THIS GREAT NATION
AMEN!🙏🏻
I posted this on another thread but will do so again.
You need to find an opportunity to talk to Donald Trump one-on-one.
When he wins in November, he will need the kind of perspective you bring to the table.
I do hope on day 1 all security clearances of previous occupants, previous government employees (especially those at the upper levels in the agencies) will be revoked and all access of former employees will be revoked and removed from any and all agency data sources.
As a low-level former federal employee, all my access, codes, passwords, access to equipment and systems, etc., were removed. That should apply to the upper levels as well.
Oh, and I really like the staffing suggestions. I am especially excited to see Sidney Powell as DAG -NSD in addition to the others on the list!
