OPINION: Time for Those who Prosecuted Trump to Move to the Defense Table.

Prosecuting those who broke the law is not retribution, so long as the cases are well-founded, fact-based, and legitimate prosecutions.

No one is above the law sutterstock

We have absolutely no problem if Trump’s AG prosecutes those who genuinely subverted our democracy and who genuinely sought to throw innocent people in prison for their partisan political purposes.  Did the Biden/Harris Admin do this?  Did they seek to subvert democracy?  Did they throw innocent people in jail for partisan advantage?  You bet they did, and they should not be immune from prosecution for their illegal activities.   

We think that all of those — including prosecutors and judges — who wantonly prosecuted Trump, Navarro, Bannon, Roger Stone, and hundreds of innocent people who went to D.C. to peacefully redress their grievances, and who walked peacefully within the velvet ropes in the Capitol building, but were later prosecuted for insurrection, should themselves see the inside of a jail cell.  They were so quick to throw their opponents into jail.  A taste of their own medicine might be appropriate.  After all, were not these prosecutions partisan efforts to subvert the election?  We don’t care if you wear a robe or not, you should pay the price if you break the law.

Oh, but you think the judges and prosecutors have immunity for their official acts? Think again. These state-level officials have no immunity against federal prosecution, and those federal judges are not immune from federal prosecution for their criminal acts, including election interference and subversion.

Such prosecutions would be fundamentally different than the ones that were brought against Trump and his supporters.  The cases against Trump were drummed up.  The facts were false (even if some NYC jurors believed whatever they were told by a partisan prosecutor and a partisan judge).  The motivation for bringing the cases was underhanded and strictly for the political benefit of the Biden/Harris Administration.  The cases Trump can bring have merit in the facts.  These Democrat operatives actually broke well-established laws that are in place to protect our democratic system.  If they are not prosecuted, that is an unnecessary act of kindness by Trump.  But there must be safeguards to protect against this sort of bogus prosecution of political opponents, and without a price being paid, you can expect it to come back.  Much of the criminal codes are there for reasons of deterrence, and this is conduct which needs to be deterred.

Also, didn’t Biden want these cases to stop Trump, his most serious political opponent, from running against him? Well, the same can’t be said of any prosecutions that can be brought by the new Trump Administration, because Trump is not running again, so no one can claim that mantle as the reason he’s being prosecuted.

Judge Cannon in Florida found that Jack Smith never had the authority to act as a federal prosecutor.  Well, then, he should be arrested for impersonating a US Attorney and for bringing malicious, fraudulent charges against Trump in a very apparent and transparent attempt to prevent him from running against the Democrat (Joe Biden) who controls the Justice Department.  Okay, we understand that Smith can say he genuinely believed he was operating in compliance with the law. But that ended the day Judge Cannon ruled that he had no such authority, and he continued to act as the Special Prosecutor in another case against Trump in Washington, D.C. We think that once Judge cannon’s ruling came down, Smith was duty-bound to step aside, while awaiting the results of an appeal — an appeal that, if it was to be brought, should have been filed by someone else at the Department of Justice, since Smith had no further authority to continue acting as if he were a government lawyer. Also, Smith spent many, many millions of dollars on these sham prosecutions, and he had no authority to spend Federal funds.  He should be required to pay restitution.  Perhaps a fair amount would be $5 million.  Perhaps he has to sell his house and sell his clothes to do so.  Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.

To those who think this is retribution, We say, where were you when Biden/Harris were engaged in all these wrongful, illegal, subversive actions?  We’ll bet you said nothing because it was okay so long as Biden was doing it to Trump and his supporters.  

We think that those who seek to defraud our elections by voting thousands of times on phony registrations or on stolen or altered ballots are engaged in subversive activities to deprive citizens of their civil rights and to thereby subvert democracy.  These are very serious felonies and the perpetrators should be given life sentences.  That would not only be a proper sentence for seeking to destroy our democracy but would also act as a great disincentive to engage in these activities.

And what about those top U.S. officials, elevated to such power by American voters exercising their most valuable franchise of citizenship, who have purposefully and wantonly allowed, indeed encouraged, millions upon millions of illegals to cross into this country, with the plan that these migrants will, by hook or crook, vote in our elections to keep their benefactors in power? Aside from all the immigration laws these officials have criminally ignored, or used their authority to wrongfully push aside, were they too not engaged in election interference and subversion of our democracy?

The tables have turned; the balance of power has shifted. And woe be it to those who, when invested with power, used that power against the American people.
