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 three.
If he’s not on the ballot I’ll write him in ( unless someone of equivalent talent is on it)
The author states if he’s guilty, not if he’s found guilty.
We'll have no mechanism/group to stop them. Will the gutless GOP step up? No. They'd rather make Christie or Halley the nominee. What about the trannies and bronies who run our military now? No. The independent media? LOL! The Supreme Court? Not a chance.
At that point, we'll either be shooting people or submitting to their power. It'll be the latter.
Who knows what freak they will put in charge of this country next? Newsome maybe, but probably even worse than him.
I don’t think he is guilty as accused by our treasonous government. Logic tells me that he won big and they stole the election. I expect him to be back soon and be President for another term.
I’m right beside you!
So we’ve become exactly like the very commie fascist scum we were against.
“If he’s guilty, then it’s not a political attack, he’s a criminal.”
I’ll share/adopt that opinion when Hillary and all the others guilty of the same “crimes” are in jail, too. Until then, Donald Trump gets my vote.
His name is Will Scharf - he is running for Attorney General in Missouri.
Scharf made a methodical and compelling case for dismissing all the Espionage charges against Trump.
I was deeply impressed by Scharf - this guy has the gravitas and the personal integrity to take the next step to Senator or Governor or even President.
Of course, he has to win elections first, which is ALWAYS a coin toss for Conservatives.
conspiracy can make any person a felon/criminal. your just lucky you are not the target. you have no concept of criminal. power decides what is criminal, jews, blacks, whites, people with gas stoves, people that dont wear masks, people that do. the law can indict a ham sandwich. that makes you a criminal for saying the word criminal.
Trump-Lake
.
Awesome
These are the same type of people who say that General Flynn is guilty because he was forced to plead guilty to the charges.
They don’t seem to understand that the process is the punishment, threatening the family, defaming the citizen, robbing them of their livelihood, bankrupting the citizen by leveraging the unlimited money and time of the goverment etc,
all as part of the persecution process.
:)
I will as well.
The utter hypocrisy of the DOJ letting Hunter Biden off with a slap on the wrist while gunning for Trump on “trumped-up” charges shows what a two-tiered, politicized justice system is in place.
Democrats use the justice system as a weapon while hypocritically giving themselves a pass.
“If he’s guilty, then it’s not a political attack, he’s a criminal”.
FUZZ, if you come to Free Republic then you can’t possibly be so stupid as to not know the DOJ is corrupt and there is no equal justice for conservatives
He’ not guilty, and I’m voting for him, too.
