It’s call Lawfare. Continuously take your opponents to trial in an effort to convict, keep them on defense, destroy their reputation, wear them down, or bankrupt them.
Terrific definition of lawfare.
Yup. The left is masters at it. It’s their system
Yes and that is what Michael Mann hopes to do with Mark Steyn - or is that over now? There is no way MM wants to defend his bogus hockey stick graph before a jury. He just wants Steyn to tuck tail or to run out of money.
That’s more like Law SUIT fare.
Lawfare is much worse. That’s when the 30-40 FBI agents come to your house at 4:00 AM, armed, wearing camo and body armor, in armored cars, with CNN cameras in tow, and you are (innocent until proven guilty) a 71-year-old man with a sick wife and nobody else at home, not even a dog. And if you had a dog, they’d shoot it. And your forced to sit in handcuff, you in pajamas, your wife in her nightgown, on the wet grass while they search thru all your stuff until the sun comes up.
Or your FBI agents asks a question of you while you’re setting up your new office and you give some rough answer, only to find out you “lied to the FBI” seven months later, and then if you do not agree to accept a guilty verdict, get told how your son is NEXT. And even when the Justice Department dismisses all charges, some fat, rich owed-favors-to-democrats US Federal Judge decides to keep you on trial—without a prosecutor!!!
Or you are angry at proven election cheating, go to Washington DC, protest, see people streaming into the Capitol Building, with Capitol police escorting them in, so you get in line and go in. Maybe you even videoed yourself doing this because, hey, you always wanted to see this beautiful, historic place, and there’s a funny guy in a Buffalo hat chanting over there, so you video that too. Oh, guess what, you’ve been in the DC jailhouse a long 20 months now for that.
By the way, not one person has been fired, let alone scolded on TV for these things.
That’s REAL 21st Century lawfare.
