Buckle up for a new era of political payback as Trump’s indictment prompts greater scrutiny of Biden
The Washington Times ^ | Sunday, April 9, 2023 | Susan Ferrechio

The unprecedented indictment of former President Donald Trump, viewed by most people as a politically motivated case meant to derail the top 2024 Republican White House candidate, is prompting calls to step up investigations of President Biden and his family.

Republicans and legal analysts say Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Mr. Trump has permanently degraded the judicial system and opened the doors to more politically motivated criminal cases.

“This only invites more prosecutions of political enemies,” Mike Davis, president of the Article III Project, a conservative advocacy group, told The Washington Times. “Democrats have crossed the Rubicon on this type of political prosecution, and it’s simply not a door that can be shut in this age of revenge politics.”

While Mr. Trump faces up to 136 years in prison if convicted of falsifying business records to cover up hush money paid in 2016, Republicans are calling for a stronger investigation of the Biden family’s lucrative foreign business schemes and Mr. Biden’s potential involvement.

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee is combing Treasury Department records to track down the bank account information for President Biden’s son Hunter Biden, brother James Biden and several business associates who raked in millions of dollars from foreign business deals that some believe involved illegal influence peddling.

“Republicans will inevitably investigate the Biden crime family even more in the coming days, and there’s no telling what can come of that,” Mr. Davis said.

As we all said impatiently in the Sessions, Durham and Barr days hurry up and indict these Clinton,Obama and Hunter and Joe Biden types.

The waiting only allowed the Dem perps to say now “You meanies in the GOP are only retaliating to get even with us for Trump.” Voters will see it as this in many cases.

Remember Biden was billed at the grandfatherly moderate who would simmer down the Trump battles (which they set up) and tweet fights and let Americans go back to harmony and quiet. Ha!

As in all banana republics including the United States, there is no reward for kindness or restraint to your opponents. It just makes you look weak and invites their increased sadism against you.

I think Nancy Pelosi needs to be investigated also. She’s made insider trading a lucrative business for her family. And how about the Dems donators and how much they have donated and then their bought politician gets some bill passed that’s beneficial to the donors. There’s lots that could be investigated. Just do it Repubs!! Ohhhh, I forgot...they can’t because they’re doing it too!

We are a nation of laws. And justice is blind. So eventually there will be investigations of Biden. But this will have to happen first:

Show me

There’s enough crooked libtards to prosecute them for decades!

Just the Biden crime family alone would tie up the courts until he croaked

Even if such a thing were to occur, the Democrats and their media would scream to high heaven that it was all baseless political payback.

After a few days of that kind of non-stop haranguing, the Republicans would buckle as usual, followed by a plea for forgiveness.

Indict the Clintons, Dick Cheney, the Biden crime family, leftist DAs, sanctuary city mayors. All of them.

If they don't assassinate Trump before '24, I'd like to see him go after these anti American subversives with vengeance.

This ups the stakes in elections. It's not longer about graft or even power; it's about survival.

Which means that elections will become more contentious, more violent, with more cheating and thuggery.

He will not be POTUS again.

He will be assassinated in the unlikely event he somehow overcomes the Ingrained, refined and perfected Dem Fraud machine. 2020 was the prototype.

After the examples of 2020, 2022 its clear the Deep State will not allow a 2024 Trump victory.

It’s also clear that an Article V COS end run around DC is our only sensible option.

It is not political payback.

It is called equal justice for all. Or as the left like to say while persecuting Trump,
No one is above the law.

No problem. The only person I’m voting for is Trump. The rest have been THE problem for 50+ years. There is no one else.
