Democrats don’t much like the institutional framework of our nation, the design for which is embodied in the Constitution. The lawfare attacks on former President Trump suggest an indifference to our legal system allows them to abuse it.
Their intent, as Mollie Hemingway makes clear was destruction of a man - Donald Trump.
The whole goal was to make sure that Donald Trump would be imprisoned, bankrupted, so discouraged, so distracted by being off the campaign trail dealing with these various examples of lawfare from Democrat prosecutors at the federal and state and local level, that he wouldn't win.
It hasn’t worked as planned, has it? If the portents are being read correctly, Trump will win the election that happens in just over a week.
Instead, what has happened is that the public opinion of federal law enforcement has cratered, The FBI is no longer idolized, the CIA is no longer seen as effective, and the DOJ is now viewed as a political tool.
In short, an enormous amount of institutional damage has been done. Repairing the reputations of the agencies involved will be the work of decades, and may never happen.
Democrats perhaps could justify (to themselves) the damage if the ploy had worked, but it didn’t work. Instead they shot our government in the foot and accomplished no goals.
I wish I could believe the guilty parties would spend decades in prison, but it appears unlikely they’ll even be charged.
