Lawfare fails
American Thinker ^ | 10 Nov, 2024 | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 11/10/2024 5:44:42 AM PST by MtnClimber

Retribution, not to salve Trump’s ego, but to restore the rule of law and political ethics, is coming.

The purpose of the lawfare against Donald Trump, federal, local, criminal and civil, was to so damage him Americans would not vote him into office. The rest was sheer Trump Derangement Syndrome—TDS. It allowed Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs), the self-imaged elite, to express their righteous rage and hatred. Bankrupt the evil Trump, put him in prison. The process is the punishment, particularly if the process, and the laws under which it was initiated, are made up and corrupt.

And it all failed, every bit of it. To be sure, the lunatic New York civil real estate case still survives, but will surely be overturned on appeal as a grotesque violation of the Eighth Amendment prohibition against excessive fines. Even New York’s appeals courts will likely at least reduce the insane fines imposed, and even that will likely be struck down by the federal courts and the Supreme Court if necessary. Even the supposed groping conviction will surely lose on appeal.

I would love to see Garland arrested in a 3 a.m. SWAT raid.

This is one of the mistakes of the Democrat that cost them this election.

A lot of average Americans take the principals enshrined in the US Constitution very seriously. These self selected “elites” have a fundamental contempt for the restrictions the US Constitution imposed on their lust for power.

I think a lot of people like Elon Musk, who never been very politically active, really where angry how fundamentally contemptuous the Alt Left running the Democrat party are for the rule of law.

No need for retribution - only that ALL those involved must forfeit their law licenses and be forever barred from having any position related to politics.

He don’t need the money. When do we get to see a dual for honor? He could shoot somebody in the face on 6th ave.Ave in the old days.

I think they will do a hell of a lot more when you go back and look at the Closing Arguments of Letitia James. She argued for 30 minutes straight on why she shouldn't be Sanctioned by the Appeals COurt for this blatant fraudulent political prosecution, NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE CASE WAS SPOKEN BY HER. it was Please Please Please DOn't Sanction me and DISBAR ME

Read that pesky constitution thingie...
It should take about 15 minutes on a bad day...
How did we derive the millions of pages of federal law and regulation from that document?

Well, we did have a president that said, “That depends on what the definition of is is”.

To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, "When you strike at a king, you better not fail."

Well, those who abused our legal system, our federal agencies, and media to destroy Trump's candidacy failed. Bigly.

And if they broke the law (and many, if not all, most certainly did break the law), they will face justice when our new Attorney General is nominated and confirmed.

Trump has made this point quite clearly: If we don't protect the election system from illegal interference, we don't have a country.

Hot pants Hochul is up to her neck in the conspiracy to get Trump. The legislature had to rewrite the statute of limitations into a bill of attainder. The entire NY government corrupted itself to advance lawfare.

Hardly.

Pauses in Trump cases are just that - pauses.

There are still the cases against his supporters and the J6 folks.

Even if they cease entirely the next four years, what the hell makes you think they won’t resume in force after that?

The only way for a “fail” is if the malfeasants are punished as strongly as they wanted to punish their victims.

THEN maybe they will think twice about a resumption.

Given RINO history, it should be well known that “offering olive branches” or “taking the high road” doesn’t work with these people.

They only understand force and power. Just like Iran and their proxies.

“what one man calls retribution another man calls justice” applies.

We have an opening with Hispanic men and younger Black men.

Now we need to point out to them the consequences of voting for a Democrat again in the near future.

They're listening.

It’s not about him needing the money.....it’s about making them give it back......in hopefully a VERY public way.

I want those who performed criminal acts to receive JUSTICE. Nothing else will do. Many of those involved in unlawful behavior are arrogant, dismissive sociopaths.

Trump will never get any restitution for my estimate of the 10 million spent on lawyers to defend himself. Eric and Don Jr had to pay lawyers too.

Unless... Under the new Trump DOJ, restitution is ordered. Which would be final slap in the face to the Democrat scum who prosecuted him. There was an Obama man who was the lawfare king, who promoted and coordinated these cases. His name escapes me.

RICO.

“An individual can file a RICO claim against a lawyer and/or his client if the individual can show the lawyer and/or his client has a pattern of violating anti-SLAPP laws. One way in which a lawyer can violate anti-SLAPP laws is to create a false legal claim as retaliation and potential punishment for the individual having the gall to bring them to court in the first place.”

Give him the Giuliani, Bannon, etc. treatment, where is Conservative lawfare?

Just like these lawyers grandstanding at congressional hearings, these so-called conservative lawyer pundits are all hat and no cattle when it comes to actually putting action to what their mouths spew.

They can sell their books, get paid by Fox news...all that does is benefit them, and some of the corporate masters that put them there.

Shut-up and mount up...lawfare is not going away.

Where are all the defamation lawsuits regarding the Russia Hoax/other, China/democrat/deep state covid/vaccine death/injury, 3am ballot dumping, open borders, vote counting days/weeks/months after elections...

"...in my book I tell you how mad I am"

...who cares, that's paying lip service, it's not engaging in the battle...something our-side in general has been doing for too long...elect representatives and then sit back thinking they'll do all the work for us.

Two or four years later we are all bitching and moaning when we lose.

"... all glory is fleeting"...especially when it comes to "political" victories.

The left throw in ballot proposals for reproductive/LGBTQ/etc. rights. Where are ours for "affirmative action" in mainstream media and academia?

It takes LAWYERS to draw up the documents then fight for them in the legal system.

The left does it all the time, where is the right?

Less lip service, more litigating.

Those of us who voted for Prop.187 know that doesn't always work...but you cannot stop trying...especially now when there is a good chance Trump could get us a "decades" long SCOTUS majority.
