Democratic-engineered Trump indictments show us the meaning of election interference
Washington Times ^ | 22 Aug, 2023 | Gayle Trotter

The indictments of Donald Trump charging the former president with 91 felonies across four cases in federal and state courts are just the latest barrage in an ongoing war over political control of our country.

The left and establishment Republicans would like you to believe that the alleged criminality of Mr. Trump’s actions brought about this history-making conflict, but in truth, the fever pitch of our national politics has led us to this unprecedented place.

In his book “The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism,” Matthew Continetti sketches the challenges that gave rise to the American conservative political movement and the intellectual wars for control of the conservative movement and, ultimately, the Republican Party.

It began with the 2000 presidential election. “What happened in Florida set the tone for the next several decades of American politics,” Mr. Continetti says. Conservatives viewed the Florida recount ordered by Democratic candidate and then-Vice President Al Gore as “an attempt by Gore and the Democrat-appointed judges on the Florida Supreme Court to override an election.”

The 2000 election revealed a “closely divided nation whose opposing factions viewed each other as not just mistaken but illegitimate,” he says, and “the echoes of 2000 continue to reverberate.”

At the time, Democrats disparaged then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush’s win, claiming that he was “selected, not elected,” referring to the Supreme Court decision to stop an unlawful Florida recount. The Democrats had sowed the ground with constant public questioning of our election process.

Flash forward to 2016, when the presumptively “inevitable” first female U.S. president, Hillary Clinton, viewed her defeat as a sign that the election process must be damaged. Rather than looking inside herself and confessing her own role in falsely accusing Mr. Trump of being a Russian asset...

They pass the edge of legality many years ago and have “moved on” to “the ends justify the means”.

That's absolutely what happened.

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks”. It should be obvious even to the Libtards, that the Deep State is frightened as Hell by Trump.

Yes, this is just an extension of “Russian Collusion” by the communist democRATs. The thought that Trump can eliminate the “Deep state communists” scares them to death. I would expect Trump assassination attempts from communists trying to save themselves.

Nobdy even says it wrong...:

It is a federal felony to deprive a USA citizen of their right/requirement of a representative government.

Duh?
