Rather than revenge, the Justice Department should defend the constitutional rights of candidate Trump and his voters.
In his second inaugural address, President Donald Trump declared that the “weaponization of our Justice Department and our government will end” and that he would “re-balance” the scales of justice. He now faces an important decision: whether to investigate the founders of the lawfare campaigns against him — beginning with New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg. He would have at his disposal the same legal theory that the Biden Justice Department constructed just for him: interfering with the presidential election deprived Americans of their constitutional rights to run for office and vote.
Special Counsel Jack Smith announced this unprecedented theory by charging Trump with depriving all Americans of their voting rights by challenging the outcome of the 2020 election.
The demise of independent counsels, which had a very low threshold to trigger appointment, illustrates how Democrats respond when feeling the sting of onerous investigations. Democrats loved the 1978 Independent Counsel Act, which was used five times against the Reagan administration and twice against George H.W. Bush. It was “good government” until it wasn’t. When the Clinton administration got hit with seven independent counsels, enough was enough. Democrats cheered its expiration in 1999, having discovered it was too costly.
Turning lawfare on its creators is not about revenge. It will serve as a deterrent to prevent future abuse and will restore public confidence that justice is even-handed. Individuals who have carried out lawfare have not only destroyed faith in our legal system but also may have violated the law. A federal statute, 18 U.S.C. 241, prohibits conspiring to “injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate” a person exercising constitutional rights or privileges.

Let’s just do these four to set an example....
It’s really nice to hear from Victoria.
Trump needs to crush them. How else will they ever learn?
If Trump doesn’t crush them in just four short years they will find a new victim.
Victoria Toensing certainly as credibility when addressing issues like this.
Jack Smith first...Garland second.
There needs go be a RICO investigation, by a special prosecutor, of the ABA for what was done to attorneys helping conservatives.
You are absolutely correct.
There HAS TO CONSEQUENCES for what they’ve done. Lawfare is nothing more than tyrannical thuggery and it should never have happened in America, let alone against President Trump. Not for vengeance but like for any other crimes, for the rule and integrity of the law.
The only way to stop the lawfare is to make an example of those that engaged in it.
This cannot be tolerated.
Clearly President Donald J. Trump had constitutional rights and privileges to run for office and govern, not to be imprisoned for contrived crimes, and not to be deprived of property based on abuse of federal and state justice systems."
And clearly the January 6 protesters were injured, oppressed, threatened, and intimidated for exercising their constitutional rights and privileges, precisely the God granted and Constitution recognized right to peaceably assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

“He now faces an important decision: whether to investigate the founders of the lawfare campaigns against him — beginning with New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg.”
Bragg might be mad enough at Mark Pomerantz for throwing him under the bus to turn state’s evidence against DOJ.
The key would be finding juries who would convict, so venues will be critical. NY and DC are excused.
You can scratch the first name on the list off.
RICO anyone?
Don’t forget Colorado Secretary of State JENA GRISWOLD. She violated the constitutional rights of a citizen candidate. SCOTUS had to tell her, 9-0, that she violated the Constitution. I want a full FBI investigation of any possible conspiracy with DNC/White House involvement. I want all communications with/from Griswold’s office published (text, fax, e-mail, smoke signals, you name it) for the year previous to the CO primary. and up through the 90 days after the SCOTUS decision.
