Is justice coming for lawfare prosecutors?
American Thinker ^ | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 12/30/2024 2:46:36 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Generally, prosecutors enjoy nearly complete immunity for their legitimate actions. That’s a recognition of the fact that many are not happy with what prosecutors do, even if prosecutors are careful to remain well within the limits of the law and responsible prosecutorial discretion.

The same is true of judges, though they arguably have even more immunity.

The problem is the power to prosecute, like the power to tax, is the power to destroy. Particularly during the Harris/Biden years, Americans have seen numerous examples of rogue prosecutors abusing their powers and bringing prosecutions based on “novel legal theories.” Translation: making stuff up and charging non-existent or non-applicable crimes. The result has been a spate of political prosecutions by “Soros prosecutors” and their ideological fellow travelers.

Never in American history has such a concerted effort by a ruling political party been made to bankrupt and imprison its presidential rival, many of his supporters and Normal Americans. Never has such blatant election interference been seen. Never have the boundaries of legitimate prosecutorial discretion been so blatantly and serially breached.

Perhaps the worst among them has been Jack Smith, who was arguably illegally appointed to get Donald Trump as part of a concerted, failed effort to keep him from becoming president. Thanks to the Supreme Court, Smith’s unconstitutional efforts have been struck down, and the remaining cases against Trump in state courts have either totally collapsed or are in the process of collapse. And now, Trump’s tormentors are realizing they might have to pay a price for their contempt for the rule of law and honest Americans:

Bondi will have to go after the lawfare prosecutors (and judges too) because that's the only path to the restoration of our system of justice.

Before faith in American justice can be restored, it (justice) has to be applied where it has be maliciously corrupted.

The gangrene must be amputated.

Curb stone justice is what’s called for. The system, which was created to protect them, will not do a thing. Angry citizens are a different story.

It is difficult to bring prosecutors to justice unless their corruption or misconduct can be proved.

Fortunately, there is ample evidence of the crimes of those guilty of Democrat lawfare. What's needed is the will to act.

Trump and his team bring that ingredient.

One of the main reasons we have the police and the courts is so citizens don't take the law into their own hands.

Justice must be restored. Justice must be applied.

That's why those guilty of lawfare are running scared.

See tagline.

Use lawfare against all the Democrats.
Find a way to destroy their prosecutors and judges.

Make the Democrats go on a crusade to change the laws so that future lawfare isn’t possible and that future prosecutors and judges have to act in a responsible manner. Make the Democrats lead that charge. We get the change when they want the change. Hammer them until they want it to stop.

All of this needs to happen. Unfortunately, one group who deserves it at least as much as if not more than any other is Judges....who are all but immune to prosecution for their blatant bias and judicial misconduct. The bar to impeach and remove judges is unfortunately an extremely high one. I say unfortunately because many of them are overtly corrupt political hacks who just ignore the rule of law in order to obtain partisan advantage.

This is true. What we need are the most vindictive anal probes possible directed at all of these corrupt hacks. If we can't get them for their obviously corrupt prosecutions, dig in and find something - I don't care if its spitting on the sidewalk - and prosecute them for that. Prosecute them. Bankrupt them. Jail them. Whatever it takes. An eye for an eye. That is the only way Leftists will learn to show any restraint in the future.

FINANCIAL RECORDS.

This should have been a counter action just as soon as they started their lawfare crimes.

And every time the media lies while the swamp is being drained, a big lawsuit against the media should be filed. And do it in a friendly court to add the cherry on top.

What the Press Got Wrong on the Hur Report
Quinta Jurecic, Tuesday, March 12, 2024, 5:22 PM

Special Counsel Robert Hur is coming in for scrutiny from the press over his characterizations of President Biden’s memory. The special counsel’s report on Biden’s handling of classified information, released last month, characterized “significant limitations” in Biden’s memory during the president’s interview with Hur’s office. Those limitations, in Hur’s view, justified a decision to decline to prosecute the president, despite Hur’s unflattering depiction of the volume of classified information discovered at his Delaware home and at the Penn Biden Center, and Biden’s handling of it. Biden, Hur reasoned in his report, could be successful in presenting himself to a jury as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

But today, March 12, the full transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden was made public in advance of the special counsel’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. And as reporters noted, the Biden of the transcript looks quite different from the forgetful Biden described in the report. “Biden doesn’t come across as being as absent-minded as Hur has made him out to be,” wrote the Washington Post. Both the Post and the Wall Street Journal described the transcript as “more nuanced” than the report itself in terms of what it showed about Biden’s memory.

Yet there’s an irony to the media’s criticisms of Hur in light of the transcript. Overstated though his report might have been, Hur’s interest in Biden’s age was no match for that of the mainstream press itself.

Consider how the Times and the Washington Post covered the original report. “Special Counsel’s Report Puts Biden’s Age and Memory in the Spotlight,” blared the headline of a New York Times article, which described the Hur report as a “political disaster.” The Washington Post characterized the mood among Democrats as “hair on fire.” By one tally, the Times and the Post each published over 30 stories about Biden’s age and memory in the days following the release of Hur’s report. “IS BIDEN’S AGE NOW A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN TRUMP’S INDICTMENTS?” asked a CNN chyron two days after the release of Hur’s report.

Agreed!
I hope AG Bondi has the mettle and resolve to see it through. I have confidence in her, she seems a tiger.
Some high profile heads need to roll over the past flagrant abuses, and it should begin, or at least end up with the big weasel, Merrick Garland.
One of the worst political hacks in the history of the U.S.

Totally agree with you. But the unfortunate reality is Republicans are just not into the accountability thing so its not likely that we’ll see much in the way of penalizing the rampant corruption of the past four years. JMHO

“An eye for an eye. That is the only way Leftists will learn to show any restraint in the future.”

***********

One of the reasons the Dems show no restraint is because the Republicans never impose any semblance of accountability on them. The Dems have no fear or incentives to play by the rules because of this. They know with 100% certainty that Republicans are weak.

Repubs want us to believe they will go after the Dems, but it never happens so there’s little reason to believe anything will be different going forward.

Little action but plenty of excuses. Situation normal. Cycle after cycle.

I'd love to see the judges, prosecutors, dnc operatives and Soros all pulled together in a nice, tidy RICO case.
