MIKE DAVIS: Sen Slotkin reveals her insidious scheme to target young conservatives

An opinion article criticises Senator Elissa Slotkin after she discussed prosecuting Trump administration officials for particularly serious actions, with the stated aim of deterring young conservatives from taking jobs in the administration. The writer argues that such prosecutions would be politically motivated and unconstitutional, but the article presents this as its own interpretation rather than an established legal finding.

The article says Slotkin referred to “signature cases” against officials who lack the presidential immunity she described, and cited people involved in building a new White House ballroom as a possible example. It quotes her saying she wanted a deterrent message sent to prospective staff. The writer places her comments in the context of prior investigations and prosecutions involving Trump and his supporters, and says the Supreme Court stopped a lawsuit seeking to block the ballroom project.
