“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”
That famous saying, attributed to the head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police, Lavrentiy Beria, is the best summary there is of the term “weaponized law.” It is also now the unofficial slogan of the Biden Regime’s Department of Justice (sic) and of the American legal system more broadly.
In a proper, Christian legal system, you start with the evidence of a crime, investigate the matter to determine the suspect, and bring charges against that person. That’s the way America’s legal system worked, or at least was understood to work, for most of the nation’s history.
But in just the last few years, it is obvious that things have changed. Instead of beginning with evidence of a crime and working to determine who committed it, American “justice” now begins with the man and goes looking for crimes with which to charge him.

Hi Steve, I would be interested to know if your friend is as concerned about the Jan 6 people who have been rotting in jail and tortured for over 2 years and are now being sentenced to many decades, each, in prison. THIS is the most outrageous behavior of our “Justice Dept”. Why are most “conservatives” only concerned about a wicked billionaire who cares nothing for those he conned into showing up in D.C. to support him, and are now suffering unbelievable things. Why isn’t this narcissist coming to the defense of these people who in no way committed crimes worthy of their punishment? The continual defense of this man, who is a traitor to this nation for what he did in 2020, is amazing to me. I see nothing in God’s Word to support defending such an evil, ungodly and worldly man. Our nation doesn’t need Donald Trump, it’s needs the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to be confronted with its idolatry, not only religious, but of political figures as well.
I don’t know what my friend’s position is on the J6 protestors. I didn’t ask him. Regarding the Word of God and DJT, there are at least 2 reasons in God’s word for defending him, Thou shalt not steal and Thou shalt not bear false witness. I get you don’t like Trump, but your dislike of him seems to blind to you to the destruction of our civil liberties that is occurring in the attempt by the powers that be to destroy him. If they can do it to him, they can do it to you and me.
The point of my original comment is that they ALREADY ARE politically persecuting the general public and denying people their civil liberties. Is time better spent defending the average Joe, or a billionaire who is now using political contributions for his personal legal defense expenses? Maybe it would be well-spent time to investigate all the civil liberty violations that have been going on in our country for decades. We have had political prisoners in this country for quite a while. We have also had confiscation of personal property (Eminent Domain) which Donald Trump has been guilty of. He is a denier of peoples’ civil liberties himself. Did he concern himself when he closed peoples businesses? Did he care about peoples’ personal lives when he did his warp speed vaccination rollout? Or their civil liberties when he did his “executive order” to “take the guns and do the due-process later”?
I think time is well spent criticizing injustice, period. The Bible prohibits showing partiality to both the rich and the poor. BTW, do you have any comments on anything I’ve actually written?
These comments are completely pertinent to what you’ve written here. This article was written to decry “weaponized law” regarding Donald Trump and I’m pointing out that weaponized law & the violation of liberties against Americans has been going on for many decades, and that this is much more important than anything happening to Trump. And the oddity of going to the mat for a man who has no qualms about violating the liberties of all Americans.
So writing a blog post is now “going to the mat”? That’s a stretch. You almost seem to agree with my main point that the law has been weaponized against Trump.
