Trump promises 'no retribution' when he enters the White House... but does reveal where he draws the line

Donald Trump promised he's 'not looking for retribution' when he enters the White House in January despite vowing to throw his enemies in jail on the campaign trail.
Despite the assurance, however, Trump pointed out he 'obviously' has the 'upper hand' and declared that he would draw the line after a certain amount of betrayal.
'I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,' he told Fox News Digital.
'I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth chance — that is where I hold the line.'
He didn't get more specific but did add he 'obviously' has 'the upper hand at this moment.'
Many of Trump's critics are worried they'll be subject to retribution after he takes the oath of office. Trump, during his presidential campaign, was vocal when it came to what he thought of those he considered 'enemies.'
Some of them include Republicans who were vocal in supporting Kamala Harris. Others are career government officials who angered the former president.
Olivia Troye, a former Trump administration official who denounced him in a speech at the Democratic convention in August, is one of them.
'I'm worried that I'll be targeted by him and a lot of people in his circle,' she told NBC News. 'They very much know who I am. And I'm concerned for my family.'
She's not the only person at risk.
Trump's transition team is putting together a list of senior current and former military officers who were directly involved in the withdrawal from Afghanistan and exploring whether they could be court-martialed for their actions, NBC News reported.

Not retribution. Not revenge.
Justice.

If they did nothing wrong, they have nothing to worry about.

We’re not the party of law fare but can we count on the public opinion to protect us?
I say stick it to a few high profile people.

I was afraid Trump would go soft. Democrats need a dose of their own medicine or they will lawfare worse next time they get power. At least he should persecute the Biden and pecker puss Pelosi crime families to make an example of them.
