The “get Trump” lawfare could best be described as a partisan effort initiated by Democratic DA’s in a number of jurisdictions simultaneously. In the Stormy Daniel’s case a highly partisan Democratic judge was able to drag a very weak case across the finish line through combination biased calls throughout the trial combined with some very creative instructions to jury. The link to the Biden justice department became apparent when Michael Colengelo took leave from the federal department to revive the Bragg prosecution which had stalled due to lack of credible evidence that a crime of any kind had been committed. Colengelo with the help of the above mentioned Judge were ultimately successful in gaining a conviction gifting the Democrats a “convicted felon” campaign slogan that will last through the election until an appeal is held. The Fani Willis led prosecution team in Georgia held closed door meetings in the white house. The Jack Smith prosecution is on behalf of the Biden justice department. In summary my concerns about lawfare are directed at the Democratic Party in general whose members seem to have decided that using the power of their offices for partisan ends is justified to prevent Republicans from gaining power. Although it’s reasonable to assume this was happening with White House approval there’s only limited evidence that the White house staff are coordinating. In any event something has to be done to fix this. I would only add that the prosecutions against Alexei Navalny, Evan Gershkovich, and others perceived to be threats to Putin’s hold on power were also prosecuted, tried, and convicted through the court system.
