The serial indictments and investigations of former President Trump are meant to rig the 2024 presidential election, but the latest indictment is unique in rigging even its aftermath.
Previous indictments of the former president had broken all sorts of new legal ground by turning misdemeanors into felonies and deciding that the statute of limitations is just a suggestion, but the Jan 6 indictment by Democrat special counsel Jack Smith criminalizes election challenges.
Or at least election challenges against Democrats. And along with that, all political dissent.
The Jan 6 indictment contends that Trump’s election challenges were a crime. What does this latest indictment offer that the previous indictments did not? This one is designed to intimidate any Republicans who might seek to challenge the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
Unsatisfied with indicting the leading GOP primary candidate in order to rig the election, Democrats are criminalizing political opposition before and after the upcoming election.
The indictment reads more like a Washington Post editorial with its contention that Trump was “determined to remain in power” and so “spread lies” that there had been fraud to “create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger, and erode public faith in the administration of the election.”
If contending that a presidential election was stolen is illegal, where is Al Gore’s indictment? No Democrats have ever been charged for claiming that Bush was elected by hanging chads, for challenging his election both times in Congress, or for spreading lies and launching investigations for their false claims that Trump had been elected by the Russians, even when they did this in order to “create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger.”

Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who DO study history are doomed to stand by watching helplessly while everyone else repeats it. *sigh*
What a fabulous essay by Daniel Greenfield. I read it start to finish.
By these standards, Al Gore should have been executed 100 times in a row for challenging the 2000 election.
The DOJ Indictment Of Trump Is A Declaration Of War
Against American Voters......not about Trump. It’s about:
<><>criminalizing dissent
<><>and punishing the millions who voted for him —
<><>and warning them not to do it again.

No indictments for spreading lies and launching investigations
for false claims that Trump had been elected by the Russians.
Even as they tarred Trump in order to “create an intense national atmosphere of mistrust and anger.”
Yep.
This is a terrifying development.
Getting close to the last straw.
Good summary, Liz... thanks.
Does Greenfield recognize the coup has occurred already? What legitimately elected government hides behind concertina wire and troops for months, emerging to harass, intimidate, arrest and imprison those who call it into question?
With the precedent set, they’ll be coming for freepers next.
Turley had a succinct observation. He said he red lined the protected speech out of the indictment and hardly had enough words left for a haiku.
In the end, this is a “disinformation indictment.” Trump is no longer free to think and speak. They are indicting Trump for wrong think. In reality, they are indicting all of us who differ.
The indictment has no merit. Period.
“Democrats are criminalizing political opposition before and after the upcoming election.”
Thus rendering future elections unnecessary.
Let us also keep in mind that these “indictments” are being handed down in an all out effort to deflect attention away from all of the Criminal and Treasonous actions that are continuing to take place by the Biden Crime Family as well as the Democrat/RNC Deep State Thugs.
It certainly is.
No question......Biden is one devious sob.

“The Trump Indictment Criminalizes Political Dissent”
Yes, yes it does.
The penalties for trickle down are extrajudicial & extreme.
Reading this, GOP? You’re not immune. Blame is a stink which doesn’t wash off.
It’s like Trump said: they’re really after US; he’s just in the way.
Today, it’s him
Thereafter, it’ll be every one of US.
You dissent, you will be BLASTED with no mercy.
