Politically motivated gangsterism will only backfire, though at what price?
When body-armored paramilitary agents with automatic weapons showed up to raid the house of Donald Trump, former president and rival of sitting U.S. President Joe Biden, many conservatives likened it to the beginning of a banana-republic rule in our country. Conservative columnist George Will is more measured in calling it one more colossal blunder on the part of the Biden administration. Blunder or political move, the weaponization of the legal system for political motives has caused civil wars and destroyed at least one law-based republic in history.
Rome’s republic collapsed when its politicians started using the law to eliminate opponents, a custom that began with the Marius–Sulla civil war. The guy in power used the judiciary authority of the Roman Senate to eliminate his adversaries. The intended victim would raise legions and fleets in self-defense; this took money. The contender who could raise the most troops or who was the better tactician got to be in charge. Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon because he knew that his opponents in the Senate had decided to have him executed if he returned to Rome without the protection of his legions. He had violated several Roman Republic laws during his invasion of Gaul, but there would be no fair public trial. The concept of Roman justice was dead. From that point on, might made right.
By creating a separation of powers, our American Founding Fathers attempted to prevent a recurrence of the Roman tragedy. For nearly two and a half centuries, it has worked, but the raid on Mar-a-Lago last week signifies a very dangerous potential precedent. Trump may have mishandled government documents, but the reaction of the administration’s goons was clearly disproportionately strong.

One political party (the more corrupt one) is trying to jail the other. If there are not SWAT raids on both Clintons, the 0bamas and the entire Biden family then there will be no truce. There needs to be a no-prisoners response. Brutal if necessary. They started it long ago and have grown bolder and more violent. There should be no truce negotiated until their noses are totally bloodied.
The answer is ‘yes.’ Biden, Garland and Wray have crossed the Rubicon.
The DemonRat Party as a whole has been pushing for this for a long time now.
He doesn’t know if he did or not.
So far the sting is working out the way they planned it. These demonic bastards are hell bend on turning the United States into a freaking Third World country. They want to retain their power for as long as they can. Absolute power corrupts and down the line these bastards are gonna be slashing each other’s throats in competition for power! When you have too many cooks in the kitchen only one walks out through the kitchen door holding the spatula!
His brain crossed the river Styx years ago
.
As observer of Joe Biden tactics for 40 yrs, I guarantee you he urged that Raid.
Like the raid on Giuliani and the raid to get his daughter’s diary.
If you put together all of Trump’s AGs and acting AG’s there’s not a single raid.
John Durham’s fake investigation yielded 0 raids.
Would he know if he had?
Trump needs to be elected and then sic prosecutors on the Biden and Clinton families, based on what they did to him, and their ACTUAL crimes.
Yes.

“”For nearly two and a half centuries, it has worked, but the raid on Mar-a-Lago last week signifies a very dangerous potential precedent.””
Took THEM a long time to build up to where we see them now. Maybe like all of history, they’ve gone too far this time.
John Galt’s words from his speech are what we need here:
“I know you’ve always known what it is you want. But your game is up because now we know it too.”
Consider the Deep State is in a “Clear and Hold” operation. They called full steam ahead. No more two steps forward and one step back. The Long March is over.
Poopy Pants is no Julius Caesar.
He has moments of clarity....But this whole election of a guy that could barely get 400 people to a rally in multiple states...
Come on..anybody not on drugs knows that election was stolen. And they know that we know.
I went to bed that night knowing Trump was going to win.
Woke up and saw the fix was in....
THE ELECTION was STOLEN!!!
Barak called the raid.
90% of O’Biden’s staff is Obama’s
“John Durham’s fake investigation yielded 0 raids.”
Durham needs to study his navel until it becomes clear to him that he is as much a traitor to the USA as Comey.
His name is on the office so he bears the responsibility and the consequences.
I concede no excuses for him.
Hey Gary Anderson, George Will’s response wasn’t “more measured”, it was limp-wristed and what we would expect from the NeverTrumper Globalist/Establishment clads.
By not unsealing the warrant, etc., they are making it appear that they are hiding something.
That is another massive blunder.
Comes to mind the FISA court and its warrants [based on falsified and fake data] to ‘wiretap’ Trump Tower.
