The Left Is Realizing That Its Plan to Prosecute Trump Out of the 2024 Running Is Failing
Pj Media ^ | 10/17/23 | Athena Thorne

TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) famously robs its victims of their ability to reason, a skill on which leftists’ hold was already tenuous. Thus, in their ends-justify-the-means war to undermine democracy by preventing a fair race, they have concocted numerous half-baked strategies. One of them — the lawfare one — looks something like this:

1. Go after Trump with as many legal attacks as possible.

2. ???

3. Biden’s Second Term!

Granted, even if the attacks don’t prevent Trump from running, they still have the effect of handicapping him in several ways. They drain his coffers. They pull him from the campaign trail. They smear and besmirch his reputation among less-aware citizens who still have faith in state prosecutions not to be politicized. And they heap enough peril on Trump’s shoulders to send almost anyone else quivering to the insane asylum.

But that second step is a doozy. Reuters put together an explainer of how the lawfare strategy is supposed to work that is more effective at explaining how it’s not going to work:

Some legal experts say Trump’s Jan. 6 actions disqualify him for the presidency. They cite his fiery speech to supporters who then stormed the Capitol in a failed bid to stop Congress from certifying Democratic President Joe Biden’s election.

They cite Section 3 of the post-Civil War 14th Amendment, which bars government officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding office.

If that sounds like a long shot to you, you’re not alone. First of all, despite being the most-prosecuted politician ever, “Trump has not been charged with insurrection or rebellion,” admits Reuters

I love any reference to the Underpants Gnomes. I use that equation at work all the time and people look at me with a Pug dog head tilt.

It's not just The Left.

NeverTrump Republicans / RINOs are heavily involved.

McConnell's involvement with FTX Crypto and Sam Bankman-Fried is all the evidence needed to see the UniParty at work

Well, I hope their plans against Trump fail, but to me it looks like the Kangaroo Courts, with virtually all Democrat judges and jurors, will most likely get the convictions they want.

If Trump is re-elected, he can pardon himself from any federal charges. The problem is the state charges.

I have no doubt whatsoever that, whether Trump is re-elected or not, he will be convicted in NY and Georgia by juries of democrats and sentenced to prison by democrat judges. The convictions and sentences will then be upheld by democrat-controlled state courts of appeal.

The only way that the U.S. Supreme Court can reverse is if Trump can prove a Constitutional violation of due process. That will be an uphill battle.

It looks like they also forgot that the demonstrations around the Capitol building started about 20 minutes or more before he even finished his speech. They’ll probably say he was sending coded messages or something I’m sure.

As it gets closer to the election, I have little doubt that they will try to kill him. These are people who use murder fairly regularly to silence those who might cause trouble, much less their sworn enemies. They kill people to "send a message". So you can expect they'll consider silencing Trump's top staff first, and if that doesn't stop Trump (which of course it won't) they'll go for the gold.

Old axoim: "If you strike against the King, you MUST kill him."

They know this.

Trump is the only one in the way of the deep state. They will never allow him to become PRESIDENT!
