The Biden Regime wants to galvanize Republican primary voters to « rally around the flag » of the persecuted Trump.
A federal indictment of former President Donald Trump on charges pertaining to his ham-fisted contestation of the 2020 presidential election and the subsequent Jan. 6, 2021 jamboree at the U.S. Capitol was all but a foregone conclusion, and Department of Justice-appointed special counsel Jack Smith delivered the goods on Tuesday. In a 45-page sham indictment of the 45th president’s post-2020 Election Day conduct, President Joe Biden’s hatchet man argued for a ludicrously broad view of fraud and criminal conspiracy, a chilling view of free speech, and a dystopian view of the attorney-client relationship. With its unprecedented politicization of the rule of law and brazen siccing of the federal prosecutorial apparatus on a leading partisan foe, the Biden Regime has made explicit that which should have already been obvious: The Regime wants a presidential rematch against Trump next fall.
Smith’s indictment is even more absurd when we get to the figure that the indictment refers to, in paragraph 8(b), as « Co-Conspirator 2″—almost assuredly John C. Eastman, the former law school dean and current Claremont Institute senior fellow who legally represented Trump in his private capacity in the aftermath of the 2020 election. According to the indictment, the character we presume is Eastman « devised and attempted to implement a strategy to leverage the Vice President’s ceremonial role overseeing the certification proceeding to obstruct the certification of the presidential election. » That description is uncharitable to the point of being borderline defamatory. In reality, Eastman, who like any other lawyer had a solemn ethical obligation to zealously defend his client’s interests, advanced perhaps unpopular—though far from definitively untrue—interpretations of the vice president’s duties under the 12th Amendment and the constitutionality (or lack thereof) of the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
