The Weaponization of Justice

If you read nothing else this week, read Victor Davis Hanson’s article in American Greatness detailing how Obama began “the most radical revolutions” in our history. As legal matters -- the lawfare waged against former President Trump and the Department of Justice’s pussyfooting around the Biden bribery took this week’s center stage, it’s useful to note his remarks on the weaponization of justice in this country.

Here’s a sample:

Administrations and their efforts to stock the justice department with supporters come and go. But in the last decade the Left has viewed the Department of Justice as a political extension of the party -- whose unchecked power must properly be directed to hurt enemies and help friends. [snip]

Never in U.S. history have the Department of Justice and sympathetic state and local prosecutors indicted a leading opposition candidate and likely nominee of one of the two major parties, and at the beginning of a presidential campaign. Donald Trump is currently charged with nearly 100 felonies by at least two prosecutors. He likely eventually will be hit with more than- 500 indictments, from four prosecutors, every one of the latter with a long record of either leftwing associations or Democratic service.

The mass murderer Charles Manson faced less legal exposure. No one believes Trump would have been indicted on such counts -- most of them involving allegations from years past -- were he not running for President.

One count that Donald Trump is not charged with is bribery, or taking money while in office, a crime cited as impeachable in the Constitution and germane to the accusations that Joe Biden and his family raked in millions from foreign governments due to the improper use of his prior Vice Presidency.

VDH is very articulate in espousing BFOs.

I pay less attention to him than I used to.

Obama/Holder evil on display. The persecution of Trump is grounds for secession. If they can lawfare Trump, they can lawfare any of us. Trump must be pardoned.

The real problem is the millions of Americans who refuse to demand good government.

The American People should not tolerate corruption in government--or in the news media.

People get the government that they demand, that they vote for, and that they deserve, and they deserve the government that they get.

“Obama began “the most radical revolutions” in our history.”

I still remember him saying during a campaign speech “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. - Barack Obama, 2008 “

And all the Sheeple applauded instead of asking “What do you mean by that?”.

They wanted to do this to Nixon, even though president Nixon never enriched himself or had anybody killed and even resigned to spare the country the embarrassment of the impeachment and trial the Left wanted to put him through.

Then they went after Ford, Reagan, the Bushs 1 and 2 - and now president Trump. But this time, they are going through the full power of the government to destroy him.

If the GOP just sits back on this, we need to form another party with actual b$lls to fight back against their evil.

Nobody who doesn’t already know this will ever read his article. The USA is OVER.

I still remember him saying during a campaign speech “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. - Barack Obama, 2008 “

I remember that as well. And as far as I remember, no one in the press asked him about this plan to trash the Founding Documents. Instead, they thought he was so cuuuuuuute when he said it.

There is certainly a good chance that the Constitution provides no remedy for this situation. John Adams is being proved correct that: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

We are living in a time when we have developed ruling elites who are neither moral nor religious and who value only those parts of the Constitution that appear to confer power on them.

What any citizens who remain moral and religious can or will do about the situation is an open question.

With “Team Mitch” as the titular head of the GOPeahens, it is way past time to form the Patriot Party.
