The Trump Indictment Criminalizes Political Dissent
Sultan Knish ^ | 3 August 2023 | Daniel Greenfield

The serial indictments and investigations of former President Trump are meant to rig the 2024 presidential election, but the latest indictment is unique in rigging even its aftermath.

Previous indictments of the former president had broken all sorts of new legal ground by turning misdemeanors into felonies and deciding that the statute of limitations is just a suggestion, but the Jan 6 indictment by Democrat special counsel Jack Smith criminalizes election challenges.

Or at least election challenges against Democrats. And along with that, all political dissent.

The Jan 6 indictment contends that Trump’s election challenges were a crime. What does this latest indictment offer that the previous indictments did not? This one is designed to intimidate any Republicans who might seek to challenge the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

Unsatisfied with indicting the leading GOP primary candidate in order to rig the election, Democrats are criminalizing political opposition before and after the upcoming election.

The indictment reads more like a Washington Post editorial with its contention that Trump was “determined to remain in power” and so “spread lies” that there had been fraud to “create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger, and erode public faith in the administration of the election.”

If contending that a presidential election was stolen is illegal, where is Al Gore’s indictment? No Democrats have ever been charged for claiming that Bush was elected by hanging chads, for challenging his election both times in Congress, or for spreading lies and launching investigations for their false claims that Trump had been elected by the Russians, even when they did this in order to “create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger.”

“The indictment has no merit. Period.“

100% correct!

Unfortunately, THEY have all control over the court system now.. and there’s only ONE thing we could ever do about it. And they don’t believe we would ever go there…

By these standards I think Jack Smith looks every bit like a criminal, so should we maybe go after him on charges we can figure out when the time comes? According to the article, this seems to be the way they are going after Mr. Trump & that situation has gone on a rather long time now. Guess that’s why he is gaining credibility with so many Americans right now.

Daniel Greenfield seems to have really hit the nail on the head. Wondering what he will have to say next, considering the recent developments with the Biden family & certain foreign interests. Life is getting more & more interesting.
