Lawfare has backfired, bigtime, on the Democrats.
They say that old Julius Caesar authored a great line: "veni, vidi, vici" or something like, “I came, I saw, I conquered.”
Well, I think that he would have responded to the Democrat lawfare by saying you came, you sued, and you did not conquer.
Yes, lawfare backfired big time as the Wall Street Journal pointed out:
When Donald Trump was hit with four indictments last year, the prevailing Democratic belief was that Mr. Trump would be a convicted felon by Election Day. How could President Biden then possibly lose? Yet trying to defeat Mr. Trump through the courts instead of at the polls has turned out to be one of the great political miscalculations in presidential history.
The Supreme Court’s decision last week that the Presidency enjoys constitutional immunity for official acts has more or less sealed the failure of the lawfare election strategy. Mr. Trump can be charged for unofficial conduct, but what parts of the Jan. 6 indictment, if any, are in that category? Lower courts will chew this over, but it’s hard to see a trial before Election Day, or maybe ever if Mr. Trump wins.
Is there a hall of fame for political backfires? Democrats cheered on the prosecutions of Mr. Trump, hoping they’d guarantee his defeat. Instead they energized his re-election effort. The first indictment, brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, stretched the law to turn misdemeanor bookkeeping offenses into felonies. Almost immediately, Mr. Trump’s support in the GOP primary jumped several points, and in the Real Clear Politics polling average it never again fell below 50%.
Yes, as they say in baseball, they loaded the bases looking for a double play and got a grand slam homer instead.
Game over. Bad pitch....

And now, hopefully, the ‘RATs will be prosecuted in their numerous REAL crimes.
HA! FAT CHANCE!!
Democrats and their butt boys in the press Lying about 'cheap fakes' in defense of Biden was also 'right up there - another 'great political miscalculations' ...
That's a little better
Totally beclowned themselves.
The problem is..to reform the system will take years. Many of the guilty..but filthy rich.. will already be dead by then.
And I doubt the propaganda media will be reformed. Probably the opposite.
Prosecuting Trump is only one aspect of the Democrat lawfare. The other aspects are still going and often winning. These include:
—disbarring attorneys who defend Trump or other conservatives targeted by the Dems;
—disbarring attorneys who dare challenge election integrity;
—wholesale refusal by the courts to consider the merits of election fraud allegations;
—refusal to prosecute Dems while targeting Conservatives for the same charges;
—corrupting state attorneys general and election officials;
—threatening SCOTUS justices; and
—threatening to amend or ignore the Constitution.
I’m glad the battle over Trump’s legal persecution seems to be leaning our way but the war is far from over.
If we want to just see the obviously guilty Demos frog marched to jail then I agree - “fat chance”. However, after the Justice Dept is purged (which *will* be a necessity) the initiation of serious RICO investigations, could lead to much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and eventually to some frog marches (IMHO).
The problem is that there won’t be any repercussions for this. None. Just a “my bad” and move on.
Hopefully all involved will receive Righteous justice.

Hell, I’m just hoping there are enough votes from our feckless “opposition party” to hold Garland in contempt, then enforce it! We’ll soon see.
There will be no justice here on earth, they’ve reaped and are reaping their rewards now. They’ll have to answer for what they’ve done.
