Trump Triple Dog Dares Lawfare Dems

Letter to Ephesians: Trump not only gives Dems a whiff of the lawfare THEY created out of whole cloth, but force feeds a heftier taste of that trademark nightmare. “No one is above the law,” Dems find out is true, only they never dreamed so many of them would be hearing it in court.

WSJ’s Kim Strassel summed it up in her “Trump Triples Down on Lawfare” by concluding, “The president makes the Democrats’ efforts against him look like child’splay ... It was Democrats who introduced the noxious art of lawfare, [but it is] master retaliator, Donald Trump, [who] is perfecting its use. Send your thanks to the apprentices – James Comey, Fani Willis and Jack Smith.” Strassel goes on to suggest Dems “might in retrospect be a bit embarrassed by how unimaginative & shoddy was their application of the craft.” Indeed, “almost all their efforts aimed at politically hamstringing one man: Mr. Trump” while “most of their lawfare campaigns followed the same pattern: shocking accusations of high crimes – collusion, insurrection, conspiracy, racketeering – resting on painfully stretched readings of the law. That’s why most flamed out in the courts.”

Yet, the columnist urges, “Compare that with the journeyman performance of today’s Oval Office ... The list of Trump administration investigations into political opponents seems as long as a congressional omnibus.” Comey, Smith, Brennan, James, Schiff, Murphy, Platkin, Cuomo, Cook, & Bolton to name a few. As Strassel opines, Trump has openly & unabashedly “cast aside any pretense that the Justice Dept is independent” which Joe Biden had turned ... into a pretense.” While turnabout may be fair play, she makes the point that doing so in No. 47’s case may be the breaking of a campaign promise not to do so; more importantly, “accountability” is one thing, hypocritically abusing the Democrats own abusive “No one is above the law” mantra is another.
