Donald Trump may indeed be guilty of the charges for which he was indicted a couple of weeks ago… or maybe not. He may even end up being convicted. Regardless, assuming he’s on the ballot, I’ll be voting for him, even if he’s dressed in stripes sitting in a jail cell.
Why? Not because I don’t take seriously the handling of classified records or trying to “obstruct” the Justice Department. Indeed both are serious. But even if Trump were guilty of both, even if he violated the letter and the spirit of the law, those violations are nothing when compared to the weaponization of the federal government we’ve observed over the last decade and a half.
The Democrat party has spent much of the last fifteen years turning the federal government into an American Stasi to be used against their political opponents in a manner unprecedented in American history.
Barack Obama took aim at the Constitution early on when in 2010 his Justice Department targeted the press under the guise of “national security”. They seized records from FOX News reporter James Rosen and accused him of “Espionage” for his reporting on American policy towards North Korea. Three years later they used similar tactics against the Associated Press.
Not content to eviscerate the freedom of the press, Obama next set his sights on freedom of speech, this time harnessing the IRS to undermine the Constitution.
Other presidents have been accused of using the IRS against opponents, but they were pikers when compared to Obama’s war on speech in which the IRS sought to smother hundreds of grass roots Tea Party organizations in their bassinets, before they could even crawl. The likely result of that “mistreatment” of grassroots opponents was that Barack Obama won reelection despite having 5 million fewer votes than he did in 2008. Contrast that with Donald Trump, who grew his vote total by 12 million in 2020 but somehow “lost” his reelection bid.
Then came the coronation of Hillary Clinton, which had to be guaranteed. And the vehicle for that guarantee was the Russia collusion hoax which Hillary Clinton started and Obama knew about. The Durham Report lays out in black and white exactly how much the Department of Justice has been politicized. The FBI not only should have never investigated Trump for Russia collusion in the first place, but over the course of years various FBI and other officials fabricated evidence, lied to judges, lied to Congress, ignored exculpatory evidence, and sought to entrap people in Trump’s coterie then coerce them into testifying against him.
As a result of the Justice Department’s persecution of Donald Trump, not only was his term hobbled by investigations, but at the same time he had to survive attacks from virtually every corner, including legislators allegedly on his side. Perhaps most perniciously, largely because of their weaponization of the Justice Department, more than half the country doesn’t trust the “premier” law enforcement agency in the nation. In 2023 fully 70% of the American people feel like our elections may be compromised by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. To put that in perspective, after decades of the media propaganda machine lying about police hunting black men, black Americans still have a higher opinion of local police than Americans in general do of the FBI.
By 2020 the apparatchiks in the Justice Department had decided that they were America’s white knights and were going to save the country from having to endure another term of Donald Trump as president. As the election was wrapping up the New York Post ran a story about a laptop owned by Joe Biden’s son Hunter. The laptop was full of information about drugs and prostitution and various other illegal activities that the younger Biden participated in. More proe problematic however were the emails and other information that implicated Joe Biden in various schemes whereby his son and brother were handsomely paid by various foreign entities for his (Biden’s) influencing American policy while Vice President. The FBI worked back channels with America’s modern public squares, Twitter, Facebook and other media outlets to both censor the story and suggest that it was Russian disinformation at the same time.

Me too.
If he’s guilty, then it’s not a political attack, he’s a criminal.
If he’s not on the ballot, I will write him in!
As corrupt as the DOJ is looking these days, why wouldn’t one obstruct them... at every opportunity.
“Orange Man Bad”?
Ditto.
Are you saying the DOJ and judicial system in this country isn’t politically biased against Trump?
“If he’s guilty, then it’s not a political attack, he’s a criminal.”
What if he is simply pronounced guilty by a corrupt court. That would put you on the wrong side of a very angry populace.
Exactly.
I vow to cast my votes for him. Unconditionally.

Trump 2024 ☑️
I’ll skip that part of the ballot.
Knowing the star chamber and kangaroo court systems that have been established in the “new and better” United States as projected by Barack Hussein Obama in 2008, Trump may very well be convicted, even if no real guilt exists. “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime”, famous words in another context, apply here, even if the “crime” has to be fabricated specifically to apply to the targeted individual. Apparently “mean tweets” is good and sufficient basis for a “crime”.
Like Biden?
In this case, being convicted has nothing to do with whether he is guilty or not.
they’ll do what they can to remove him from the ballot.
including just deleting his name.
you can ALWAYS write in your choice.
if he wasn’t on the ballot and everyone wrote in TRUMP... he’d truly be the people’s choice
in a banana republic, you’re always guilty if they want you guilty... they just have to find the crime to pin on you
that’s the deep state
You seem to assume that the judicial system is legitimate and unbiased, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Same here.
Remember the people charging him with this crime are the EXACT SAME people who lied and falsified evidence about his Russian Collusion in Crossfire Hurricane.
If you believe this faux charge brought by political hacks is a valid criminal offense, you need to reexamine your world view.
