"Former President Trump was convicted last week by a New York City jury of 34 felonies. These “Frankenstein” felonies, created from misdemeanor offenses past their statute of limitations and the suggestion of federal election law violations, were unprecedented and designed to target one specific individual: Donald J. Trump. Given the extraordinary power and reach of the government today, all the state needs are a few facts and a couple of tax returns, and they can produce criminal charges tailor-made for anybody. And they will win. ........The playbook now is to take someone out through the courts if you don’t like them. You just need an ideological prosecutor, an activist judge, and a pliable jury. Of course, this is exactly what happened to the J6 defendants in ultra-liberal Washington, D.C., where the prosecution creatively applied obstruction felonies to get long jail sentences. Those convictions will be reviewed soon by the U.S. Supreme Court. Political prosecution is the new wave, and it will be done again unless it is stopped. In the Soviet Union and Communist China, leftists used the “justice” system to destroy their political rivals and opponents. The desire for total power or ideological purity can become an irresistible attraction, or vice, creating an environment where ultimately nobody is safe.
One potential target might soon be Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. An old school Democrat, Kennedy has condemned the trial and conviction of Trump, citing his father’s instructions to his staff as Attorney General that his office would ignore political affiliation on prosecutorial decisions. That impartiality has been the pole star for the American justice system since the founding, making our legal system the envy of the world. If fair-minded Democrats like Kennedy and U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who called on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to pardon Trump, can see the ominous portents in this verdict, who then are these people pushing the Trump persecution and the new Democrat agenda?"
