Conservatives have drafted detailed plans to significantly reshape the Department of Justice (DOJ) and expand presidential power if Donald Trump wins a second term. This blueprint, referred to as Project 2025, is seen as a conservative effort to legalize their agenda while undermining legal mechanisms that could oppose them. Russ Vought, a Trump loyalist and self-described Christian nationalist, is poised to play a key role in this plan, potentially serving as Trump's chief of staff. Vought's vision has been described as 'post-constitutional,' indicating a willingness to embrace an ends-justify-the-means mentality. ElieNYC has noted that the goal is to MAGA-fy the DOJ and make their darkest desires legal. A battle-tested D.C. bureaucrat is also involved in drawing up these detailed plans.

Conservatives have already drafted detailed plans to MAGA-fy the Department of Justice if Trump wins again. Their goal, as @ElieNYC writes, is nothing less than to make their darkest desires legal, while taking away the best legal means to stop them. https://t.co/bYRsMoLxP7
If Project 2025—the right’s blueprint for Trump Part 2—is basically a conservative heist plot, then their plan for the DOJ is the part where they take out the security cameras & floodlights so they can proceed under cover of darkness. @ElieNYC explains. https://t.co/bYRsMoLxP7
