Trump vows to go after his enemies if elected. Meet two enforcers ready to carry that out

(USA Today) WASHINGTON − Former President Donald Trump tells supporters he'll be their "retribution" if elected in November. He talks of turning the military and the National Guard on the "enemy within," or those who don't support him, including Democratic figures like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Trump speaks only in generalities about his intentions. But for the past year, a former top Trump national security official likely to join him in a new administration has been crisscrossing America recruiting an army of volunteers to help carry out such a plan.

That's Michael Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general and Trump's first White House national security advisor. He's also a former convicted felon who was banished from what he calls the "Deep State" national security bureaucracy after rising to become head of the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency.

At Flynn's side is his longtime aide Ivan Raiklin, an intense former Green Beret, retired Army Reserve lieutenant colonel and former DIA employee who's also a conservative lawyer.
