Miranda Devine: Trump turns tables on Democrats after years of lawfare — now it’s time to hold them accountable
New York Post ^ | Aug. 10, 2025 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 08/13/2025 5:48:48 AM PDT by george76

“No one is above the law” was the favorite refrain of Democrats as they pursued Donald Trump up hill and down dale in an effort to destroy his first presidency and ensure he could never serve again.

They threw everything at him, manufacturing intelligence to frame him as a Russian stooge, weaponizing the FBI and DOJ against him, impeaching him, siccing the most unscrupulous prosecutors on him, contriving spurious civil cases against him and his family, trying to jail him and bankrupt him, all the while lying and assassinating his character.

If that didn’t bring him down, two assassination attempts would have finished off a lesser mortal.

But, sadly for Trump’s Democratic/deep state persecutors, they failed spectacularly. They decimated their own party and destroyed the reputations of the intelligence agencies and the mainstream media allies that aided and abetted their crooked schemes.

As the saying goes: If you come for the king, you’d best not miss.

Now accountability is afoot.

...

We now know that on Dec. 9, 2016, Obama directed his national security officials, DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and others to create an intelligence assessment with the foregone conclusion they all knew to be false: that Russia had influenced the 2016 election to help Trump win.

...

Without punishment, wrongdoers are emboldened.

They regard mercy as weakness to be exploited.

For once, please let this be true as these Democrats have severely crossed the line and now only accountability will "Save Democracy".

LOVE National Treasure! The Democrats will run over their grandma if it means moving their evil agenda forward. Clapper, Brennan, Schiff; they’re expendable to the party. Obama would be a HUGE fish, but the Left will cut him loose if necessary. Just keep the heat on, issue some indictments, then see if anyone wants to make a deal to talk instead of doing prison time.

...[Obama] launch[ed] what we now know … was a covert mission to subvert the will of the American people, create this lie that would challenge the legitimacy of President Trump’s election … resulting in what was truly a yearslong coup.

There's a reason he is the only President in the history of this Republic to leave office, but stay in DC. He should be tarred and feathered and run out of DC in disgrace.

Obama, the first black president, lived up to expectations. Let this be a lesson - he’s no different than Ray Nagin or Jazmine Crocket or Maxine Waters or Letitia James et al.

The Dems are calling this “revenge.” I’m fine with that. We need some revenge for the obscenities that the Dems committed since 2016.

I can’t decide who was worse: Carter or Obama. People are quick to forget that inflation under Carter was the worst since the 1870’s and the prime interest rate was 21%. Obama was worse as he tried to undermine the US. its institutions, and allies.

“Without punishment, wrongdoers are emboldened”

Many criminal thinkers never stop until incarcerated or eliminated. The lie is the anti-human weapon used most often by the criminal thinker.

So, in these documents that we’re finding, we are uncovering names of people who were involved with this Russia hoax, this manufactured intelligence document, [who] would otherwise never be known publicly.”

I am reading everything comimg out of Bondi's office (leaks about burn bags discovered, grand juries, new names, using AI) as a very clever pitch for the minor criminals to turn state's evidence before it's too late.

Truth must be revealed. The American People and the People of the World deserve to know it.

As part of this, the American People, history, and all the world must know whether either of Trump's predecessors was an ‘illegitimate president.’

I am good with Trump instilling fear and revenge is that bunch of criminals. Heck, all 51 who signed the letter about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop. I think they all lost security clearance. I say, if one is off the payroll, they lose all security clearance.
