Why couldn't he retaliate after he lost the election?

I said "meaningfully retaliate", not just "retaliate". I address this further below:

Either one, why wouldn't he be able to? Nothing changes post election until jan 20th

For one example, the justice department is not going to act on directives from a President that will simply be overruled in two weeks when the next President comes into power, it's just a waste of resources. They'll take the paperwork but they'll just sit on it.

Is that a guarantee or is it possible they would follow his orders?

Also it's 6 weeks and the executive doesn't control the justic department how would it be overruled?
