Prosecutors are discovering that the more they seek to rush to judgment before the election and gag Trump from speaking publicly about these proceedings, the more he rises in the polls.
We should dispense with the tired narrative that four conscientious state and federal prosecutors—independently and without contact with the Biden White House or the radical Democrats in Congress—all came to the same disinterested conclusions that Donald Trump should be indicted for various crimes and put on trial during the campaign season of 2024.
The prosecutors began accelerating their indictments only once Trump started to lead incumbent Joe Biden by sizable margins in head-to-head polls. Moreover, had Trump not run for the presidency, or had he been of the same party as most of the four prosecutors, he would have never been indicted by any of them.
Yet now they are in a doom loop of discovering that the more they seek to rush to judgment before the election and gag Trump from speaking publicly about these star-chamber proceedings, the more he rises in the polls.
In truth, each succeeding cycle of corrupt leftwing lawfare that ends in failure—the Russian collusion hoax, the weaponized first impeachment, trying ex-president Trump in the Senate as a private citizen, the laptop disinformation set-up, the Alfa bank ping caper, the pathetic attempt to erase Trump from state ballots, and the unfolding Fani Willis moral debacle—does not return things to zero.
Rather, they serve as force multipliers for each other. Each overreach geometrically increases the dangers to democracy, ever more turns the public off, and ironically cascades sympathy and poll numbers for the very target of their paranoias.
Some of the prosecutors have colluded with White House lawyers and congressional liaisons. Some had run for office, offering campaign promises to get Trump convicted...

Yes, indeed. Insightful comment, MtnClimber. The Nation is hurting. And Trump already proved he's adept at solving the international crises, border invasions, and economic stagnation/decline.
Go President Trump!
I see. So how, then, do you define “lawfare”? Or are you saying that “lawfare” is a concept that doesn’t exist?
Why do you believe it’s lawfare? I think that would help me to understand your position and respond accordingly.
I didn’t say that I did believe it.
I’m not sure that such a term as “lawfare” exists as a legal term, even.
Collin’s American English Dictionary defines it as “the strategic use of legal proceedings to intimidate or hinder an opponent“, though Collins is silent on whether it is “legal” terminology or not.
Do you think that is accurate definition of the word “lawfare” as a concept?
I think the definitions I’ve seen describe a concept. Based on perspective or bias I suppose one could see the current prosecutions as being that. But every case could likely be turned into some sort of lawfare claim. But from my perspective, this one’s a stretch.
I understand what you’re saying, and agree with much of it.
What are your thoughts on lawfare’s ugly, codified cousin:
Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
Could that be argued in this case, do you think?
I’d have to see the arguments. With the law, often what seems contrary is more clearly understood when fully articulated.
That is true, you have to hear the case being made.
And no one has tried to make the “color of law” argument, at least not yet.
Thanks for your interesting perspective, JB.
It’s been a pleasure.
It of course comes to question, what will happen to the “Preventers”? Will THEY be allowed to take office, and take over, as the very last election in American history becomes infamous history? I am not looking forward to any of this, if this is what we have to look forward to.
