Susan Rice has publicly stated that when Democrats regain control of Congress, they will pursue a strict 'accountability agenda' targeting individuals and institutions that supported Donald Trump. In an interview with Preet Bharara, Rice emphasized that there will be no 'forgive and forget,' and warned corporations, universities, and media outlets to prepare for subpoenas and investigations if they are perceived to have cooperated with Trump's administration. She described the upcoming actions as retribution, promising that Democrats will not operate under traditional bipartisan norms but will instead pursue political payback, including holding Trump supporters accountable for working with the sitting president. Rice's language suggests a focus on political intimidation and vendetta, with her openly advocating for punishment against dissenters, which critics argue undermines constitutional principles. She characterized Trump’s policies as lawless and authoritarian, despite these policies being reviewed and challenged in courts. Rice also warned that if Democrats win again, institutions will face selective enforcement and partisan investigations, framing this as a threat to democracy and an end to bipartisan cooperation. Her statements reflect a clear intention to use government power for political revenge rather than governance, raising concerns about the weaponization of institutions and the suppression of political opposition.
