Two Former High-Profile Trump Critics Now Admit It: His Foes Are the Real Threat to Democracy
PJ Media ^ | 21 April 2024 | ROBERT SPENCER

Yes, you’re right, it’s a republic, not a democracy, but this is no time to quibble. Two high-profile Trump critics, one of whom was even touted as the presidential candidate who could topple Bad Orange in 2020, have just shown that they realize that the real threat to this tottering republic is coming not from the man they once happily joined in on hating, but from his enemies

First it was the man whom Tucker Carlson indelibly dubbed the “Creepy Porn Lawyer.” Michael Avenatti, porn star Stormy Daniels’ former lawyer, is now doing time for a variety of crimes including theft and fraud. This has given him some time to think about the man whose indictment he called for back in 2018, and whom he thought he could defeat for the presidency in 2020. Avenatti has thought so much about the whole thing that he has done a 180 and completely changed his positions.

Barr sees the writing on the wall and is trying to save himself.

As Atty General he had the laptop for 12 months and refused to do anything, and then said nothing when the CIA officials said it was Russian disinformation.
That was his time to be a hero and he failed, deliberately.
He then complained about the CIA liars after the election, which was another false flag of indignation. Sort of like a pimp complaining about venereal disease in the world and someone should do something about it.

He seems a sneaky opportunist with no courage. He is the Rod Steiger character from Dr. Zhivago, suck up to whomever is in power.

Back when President William Clinton was facing Impeachment and a Senate trial, Hillary was claiming that “Republicans are trying to create a Parliamentary system!”

Hillary Clinton, ignoring her and the Democrat Party of Lefists’ creation of The Swamp aka The Institutionalized Administrative State of several hundred (make that thousands of) departments, of the U.S. government, with bureaucratic power above the law.

The only NICE thing I can say about those two individuals’ (alleged) change of heart is: “Far too little, FAR too late.”

Embrace the suck that YOU helped to create.

“ Avenatti & Barr...highly regarded? SPIT.”

Everyone who goes after Trump is highly regarded (in the Democrat media).

Avenatti was encouraged, by media personalities, to run for president.

Barr is establishment Deep State. He just wants power. He is a Trump enemy. Trump got a lot of bad advice when he was president.

Before President Trump, the mere suggestion of impropriety would sent a popular national figure into oblivion.
President Trump changed all that for the Republican Party .

“do nothing blowhard lawyer”

Actually he deliberately did a lot of damage to the country by doing nothing, which included not properly confining Jeffrey Epstein so Epstein could live to be tried.

Hopefully FR is a major threat to democracy - an evil from the pits of Hell which our Founders tried - and failed - to spare us from.

If a perjurer can testify then so can a convicted porn lawyer.

Sure, but there is the problem of credibility and why they are testifying to begin with. Something to gain?
