Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor and favorite trusted henchwoman, Susan Rice, made it clear that when Democrats are back in power, MAGA will be punished for daring to step out of line.

In an interview with Preet Bharara on the “Stay Tuned with Preet” podcast in an episode titled ‘Democrats Done Playing Nice,’ Rice made it clear that Dems will weaponize the federal government (again) against Trump supporters.

Rice stated, “But when it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, I agree with you, Preet. It is not going to end well for them. For those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore is very short-term self-interest. And, you know, take a knee to Trump. I think they’re now starting to realize, wait a minute, this is not popular.”

“Trump is not popular. What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration now, is not popular, and that there is likely to be a swing in the other direction. And they are going to be caught with more than their pants down.”

“They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box,” she warned.

“And I can tell you, Preet, as I talk to leaders in Washington, leaders in our party, leaders in the states, if these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are gonna play by the old rules and say, ‘oh, never mind, we’ll forgive you for all the people you’ve fired, all the policies and principles you’ve violated, all the laws you’ve skirted,’ I think they’ve got another thing coming.”

“Because just like when Trump thought, ‘okay, I’ll redistrict, and the Democrats won’t have the guts to play hardball,’ they’re going to be surprised.”

“Democrats have had a belly full and we’re not going to play by the old set of rules when these guys are playing by a very different set of rules. We’re going to play by the rules of the game. Play by the law, but that’s, we’re not going to violate the law the way they do, but we’re not going to be suckers.”

“And so I think, you know, whether you’re a law firm, whether you’re university, whether you’re media entity, whether you’re a big corporation, whether you’re big tech, you need to play a long game, not this short game that has been so detrimental.”

“There will be an accountability agenda. You know, companies already are starting to hear they better preserve their documents. They better be ready for subpoenas if they’ve done something wrong. They’ll be held accountable.

“And if they haven’t broken the law, good for them. If they’ve done the right things, good for them. That also will be noted and remembered.”

“But this is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget..”

“The damage that these people are doing is too severe to the American people and to our national interest.”

Susan Rice offers a taste of what’s coming should the left retake power — promises Democrats will punish corporations and other institutions who have “taken a knee to Trump.”

Bharara is no stranger to weaponizing the government against political opponents. The former federal prosecutor, who served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) from 2009 to 2017 under Presidents Obama and Trump, was fired by former AG Sessions for refusing to resign shortly after President Trump’s inauguration in 2016.

Bharara viciously pursued Dinesh D’Souza and charged him with violating federal campaign finance laws after he directed and released the anti-Obama film, “2016: Obama’s America”. He was indicted over illegal campaign contributions.

In January 2018, D’Souza said his FBI file, obtained by the House Intel Committee, shows the FBI red-flagged him as a “critic of Obama” and subsequently allocated $100,000 to investigate a $20,000 case.
