I recently asked an attorney friend what he thought of the 4 indictments and ninety-one felony counts facing Trump. His comment to me was that he was ashamed of his profession. I don’t blame him for saying that. It’s bad enough what corrupt prosecutors have done in charging Trump and corrupt judges have done in permitting the cases to go forward. But it gets even worse for the legal profession as none of the law schools, none of the bar associations, have raised any objection to what amounts to, not a legal prosecution of Donald Trump, but a political persecution of him.
Paul Craig Roberts put the situation this way in a recent column:
Looking at the Democrat operatives and prosecutors, what do you see? Utterly stupid people, people who believe that the rest of the world will accept their claims that while President of the United States, surrounded by White House Counsel and a Department of Justice, President Trump committed multiple felonies resulting in four felony indictments, including racketeering worthy of a RICO indictment. A RICO indictment means that the incompetent Fani Willis in Atlanta can seize Trump’s assets and prevent his defense. Fani, of course, is too incompetent to know this, but what about the crook Biden appointed Attorney General of the United States?
RICO, short for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a federal law designed to go after organized criminal groups, has now been used to charge Trump for questioning the highly questionable 2020 election in Georgia. In effect, the Dems’ position is that questioning a stolen election is the equivalent of acting like a mob boss. “How dare you question our election fraud!” is their message not just to Donald Trump, but to his supporters as well.
With far less cause, Hillary Clinton challenged the election results in 2016, both pushing for a recount and even attempting to pressure the electors of the electoral college not to cast their ballots for Trump. That effort failed, but not for lack of trying. But Clinton was an is a Democrat and establishment darling. She can question an election and receive no pushback. But Donald Trump gets the book thrown at him.
Former U.S. Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson gave a famous speech in 1940 where he talked about the dangers of political prosecutions. Jackson said,
If the prosecutor is obliged to choose his cases, it follows that he can choose his defendants. Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks. he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted. With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him. It is in this realm-in which the prosecutor picks some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies. It is here that law enforcement becomes personal, and the real crime becomes that of being unpopular with the predominant or governing group, being attached to the wrong political views, or being personally obnoxious to or in the way of the prosecutor himself.
The Biden Regime, the Democrat party, and the deep state intelligence agencies, with the tacit support of the entire legal profession, have elected to go down the dangerous path described by Robert Jackson eighty-three years ago. They have already undermined justice in America, even if their plot to destroy Trump fails. May the Lord have mercy on his people if it succeeds.

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.
