A recent term known as “lawfare” has suddenly come into prominence. Similar to the term “getting Borked” being invented to describe the Democrats underhanded tactics in blocking conservative appointments under President Reagan. Prominent, eminently qualified Supreme Court nominee, conservative jurist Robert Bork was viciously attacked by U S Senators in his failed confirmation hearings primarily by then U S Senator Ted Kennedy. He was verbally assaulted for his superlative record of ruling according to the rule of law, not the rule of Lefty feelings. Bork is the author of Slouching Towards Gomorrah among other extremely significant and important tomes. The term lawfare is used to describe the many nefarious legal actions launched by the Democrats against former U S President Donald Trump.
One case in point. New York’s Black Democrat Attorney General Letitia James who has been proven to be a cheat and a liar. She famously campaigned on a platform to “get Trump” and has appointed her sexual partner as Trump's prosecutor. James has been found guilty of using taxpayer money for expensive vacations with her married-but-not-to-her favourite prosecutor. She has also been found guilty of lying about when their “collusion” began and played a major role in breaking up his marriage. BY THE WAY, this same prosecutor has never prosecuted a criminal trial yet she appoints him to prosecute probably the most famous criminal trial in New York history, all to “destroy Trump’s businesses” as she has promised to do.
This case was suspiciously weak from the very beginning. Disgraced progressive New Yorker Letitia James alleged that Trump overstated the values of his various properties for purposes of getting better terms for big real estate loans. One big problem in the case was that the banks involved, the alleged victims of Trump’s alleged fraud, testified that 1) they made the loans based on their own assessments of the properties, not Trump’s; 2) they were paid back on time and in full; 3) they made money on the loans; and 4) they would do business with Trump again. But according to the vicious, vindictive New York Attorney General,Trump must be prosecuted,
The way the prosecutors presented their dubious case before the Democrat appointed and Democrat voting judge denied Trump his right to a jury trial. That pesky little clause in the U S Constitution that says all defendants are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is simply being ignored and Trump is solely judged by the judge who, as a former cabbie, should recognise that Trump is the champion of the working class.
This is such a miscarriage of justice that even Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus, a devout Lefty firmly in the anti-Trump camp, expressed worries about the precedent the Trump case could set. From her column she says: “The essence of Trump’s argument on appeal is that the supposed harm he caused was minimal at best — all his lenders were repaid — and that the penalty levied against him was therefore wildly excessive. The conundrum is that the very size of the judgment, and the consequent size of the bond that Trump is required to post, might make him unable to appeal. Trump could pursue his case, but in the meantime, Letitia James would be entitled to seize and sell off the former president’s assets.“
Progressive commentator Cenk Uygur, also firmly anti-Trump, had a similar view. “To me, putting up all the cash upfront before you appeal the case seems draconian for everyone, not just Trump,” Uygur said on his popular investment broadcast program The Young Turks. “But what if he wins the appeal? So you made him sell all of his properties to get the collateral, but then he can’t buy them back. … So when his lawyer says ‘irreparable harm,’ in this case, financially speaking, it would be irreparable harm.”
This is simply from the one New York lawfare case. Several more unfair and blatant lawfare cases are progressing across the US. All thanks to the demented psyche of the Deep State leaders on the Left who maintain a visceral hatred of Trump.
However, all is not lost. Trump is a fighter. His Truth Social Internet platform is in the process of merging with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) which will enrich the former president by several billions of dollars assuring the courts of his ability to post the collateral to pay the unfair and unconstitutional bond.
Also thankfully, all the significant polls are now showing Trump beating Biden this Nov by an ever growing margin. This "lawfare" tactic is so transparent that the American voters are seeing just who are the bad guys here. The voters long for Trump's booming economy, social advancement, cheap energy, secure border, inexpensive groceries, mortgage affordability, manufacturing and other well paying jobs as well as US international prestige. It is no wonder that the progressive policy of "lawfare" by powerful Democrat Deep Staters is being implemented by the Never Trumpers but rejected by the American voters.
My daughter Christina is married to Ted Baehr's oldest son Peirce. Ted was recently here with us and when I told him Margaret had one quarter of a million followers on her Aurora Chasers Handbook Facebook page, Ted told me he had 98 million followers on his MovieGuide.org Facebook page!!! His second son James was the Director of Public Policy for the Trump administration. With an office in the White House James worked with President Trump each and every day.
His description of Trump is entirely different to the media's portrayal of Trump. Remember Trump was the first president to attend the annual pro life rally in Washington DC and the first president to follow through on the promise to shift America's embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. You will also recall his Supreme Court appointees were responsible for rightly removing the "right to abortion" from the U S Constitution. He appointed Dr Ben Carson as Housing and Urban Development Secretary. Carson was raised by a single mother who cleaned other people's homes. She saw that her very successful clients all had no TVs so she got rid of her’s and insisted that her son, one of the most eminently qualified surgeons (and an SDA) on the planet earth, read 2 books per week. Also Trump's extremely effective Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is a solidly born again Christian as are many of Trump's appointees and staff. It stands to reason that the progressives hate him so viscously.
