How To Fix The Flaw In Our American Republic, Hold Political Lawfare Arsonists Accountable & Emerge Victorious

Our American Republic has a deep flaw that’s being ruthlessly exploited by political lawfare arsonists, who use our traditionally slow legal system to target & destroy a political opponent.

It’s not that our current system won’t stop these political lawfare arsonists, it’s that by the time it does, ruinous political damage will have already occurred. Even worse, there are no consequences to dissuade them from doing it again. This flaw must be remedied with a new process and punishment, or our Republic will fall

The Legal Long Game

As an example of our slow legal process, take a look at the hoax charges against Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell. Jack Smith, a political arsonist posing as a prosecutor, charged Bob McDonnell with “conspiracy and public corruption” on January 21, 2014. McDonnell was indicted & convicted in 2014. In 2015, he was sentenced to two years in prison. He appealed. By 2016, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned his conviction.

Jack Smith’s political lawfare arsonist attack on McDonnell took 3 years to overturn, which destroyed McDonnell’s career and life. Jack Smith faced no consequences for this. Jack Smith was the criminal here, and so is the legal system which allowed it to occur. There must now be severe penalties for, “broad or artful” indictments of politicians, going forward. What the Supreme Court had to say about the duplicitous Jack Smith conviction sounds eerily familiar, it’s just a shame it took them 3 years to stop it.

A unanimous Supreme Court has overturned the corruption convictions of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, ruling that federal prosecutors relied on a “boundless” definition of the kinds of acts that could lead politicians to face criminal charges.

The decision from the eight-justice court could make it tougher for prosecutors to prove corruption cases against politicians in cases where there is no proof of an explicit agreement linking a campaign donation or gift to a contract, grant or vote.

The court’s opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, rejected the government’s position that simply agreeing to meet with someone on account of such largesse could be enough to constitute an official act that could trigger a corruption conviction.

“There is no doubt that this case is distasteful; it may be worse than that. But our concern is not with tawdry tales of Ferraris, Rolexes, and ball gowns. It is instead with the broader legal implications of the Government’s boundless interpretation of the federal bribery statute,” Roberts wrote. “A more limited interpretation of the term ‘official act’ leaves ample room for prosecuting corruption, while comporting with the text of the statute and the precedent of this Court.”

Why does this all sound familiar? Because it’s the exact argument Trump, and honest law experts are making regarding the thin, flimsy and broad political lawfare arsonist indictments of Donald Trump. Everyone in D.C. know the indictment and convictions will be overturned on appeal and probably at the Supreme Court. Everybody knows the Trump indictments and convictions are for political consumption, rather than any genuine concern for the law. The prosecutors don’t really care about being overturned years later, as there are no penalties, and in the meantime they can exact untold political damage.

Fix The Flaw – The Supreme Court Must Punish Prosecutors Who Bring Political Indictments

The Supreme Court must heal the flaw by requiring every indictment of a political candidate for (or in) office to be approved by a majority of the court before being allowed to the Grand Jury phase. If a majority of the Supreme Court sees the basis of a clear crime such as bribery, extortion, murder, rape, and does not engage in tricky or artful definitions, then it’s allowed forward.

However, If a majority of the court sees artful or broad stretching of the law in order to get a politician, then not only is it thrown out, but the prosecutor faces severe consequences of stiff fines, suspension, disbarment, and even prison. This alone would stop lawfare in its tracks, and send a powerful message to not use the legal system to target politicians.

In The Meantime

I pray the Supreme Court endorses such a solution to our flaw, but in the meantime, we must prepare to play the long game. We’re in this largely alone. The GOP wants to destroy Trump because they see him (and us) as bad for business.

Trump and his team must prepare the country for a multi-year battle of appeals in the courts for each indictment and conviction. The psychology here is important because this is a new situation for American voters. We’ve never had a President indicted before, let alone one running for a second term. The Trump & MAGA philosophy should be something akin to;

“These hoax indictments are being carried out by criminal lawfare arsonists who seek to use the legal system to stop you from voting for me. These hoax cases will take years to be overturned, but they will be. Do not let these criminals stop you from joining our movement to Make American Great Again!”

The lack of historical precedent has amplified the feelings of fear and panic. We’ve never been through this before, so we must explain a process forward and set proper expectations. The enemy is not going to just indict Trump, they’re going to convict him. But do not be fooled, they’ll be overturned years down the road. So, you might as well join Trump against these criminals and to Make America Great Again.

Stand Firm Through The Storm

MAGA has been through what no other American political movement has. From the hoax Russia investigation, to two hoax impeachments, COVID-19, to the January 6th hoax, they tried but failed to destroy us. The longer MAGA leans into the winds of the current lawfare hurricane, the weaker it becomes, as their flimsy construct sifts like sand through their fingertips, and Trump is elected President again.
