It is commonly believed that the Russia collusion hoax was the worst scandal in American history, and certainly it has a strong claim. But if smearing Donald Trump with Hillary-concocted lies was a major scandal, how about trying to put him in prison?
Alex Marlow, editor in chief of Breitbart News, has written a book titled Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America’s Legal System Against Donald Trump. It hits bookstores tomorrow. Marlow’s theme is that the multiple criminal and civil cases that were brought against Trump before the 2024 election were coordinated from the Joe Biden White House. The whole thing was a Democratic Party put-up job. Marlow writes:
The Joe Biden White House orchestrated the lawfare against President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2024 election, hoping to jail or bankrupt the Republican standard bearer in order to prevent him from becoming president of the United States. The fact-pattern that I establish in my new book…reveals a vast conspiracy to use lawfare to rig the race by engaging in an unprecedented level of coordination across branches of government, Democrat power structures, and the White House itself.
For example, the lead prosecutor in Alvin Bragg’s Stormy Daniels case was a high-ranking official in Biden’s Department of Justice:
[T]he clearest evidence that the Biden administration was actively involved in the case was that Bragg’s lead prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, had left his principal deputy associate attorney general job in Biden’s DOJ (he was the third-ranking official at the Department of Justice out of more than 100,000 people!). Colangelo, who has a pristine resumé and was in a job at the DOJ that has been a steppingstone for Supreme Court Justices and Cabinet Secretaries, but instead took a massive demotion, taking a job that lawyers might take fresh out of school.
“It’s the rough equivalent of like a four-star general in the army, quitting his job and enlisting in the National Guard as a private,” said Will Scharf, the White House staff secretary and one of Trump’s attorneys.
On November 9, Joe Biden held a press conference and said, “We just have to demonstrate that he [Trump] will not take power, if he does run, making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next president again.”
Days later, Colangelo was moved from the top of the DOJ to Bragg’s court room.
Then there was the Georgia prosecution undertaken by Fani Willis and her paramour, Nathan Wade. Wade was an Atlanta family lawyer whom no one had heard of, and who had zero qualifications to pursue a criminal case against anyone. But he was welcome in Joe Biden’s White House:
On November 18…Nathan Wade, prosecutor for and boyfriend of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, was at the White House meeting with counsel for eight hours.
Why was Nathan Wade at the White House?
Wade was a family law attorney—that means his area of law is divorces and prenuptial agreements—with no prosecution experience. …
Nathan Wade met with the White House counsel at least twice. He billed the Fulton DA’s office for eight hours from the White House on at least two separate occasions: May 23, 2022, and on November 18, 2022, both before Trump was indicted.
Wade has refused to say what was discussed in these White House meetings, but what could the subject possibly have been other than the indictment of Trump?
What, indeed? Family law in Georgia?
I look forward to reading Marlow’s book. In the meantime, I will say this: I did nothing but litigation for 41 years, and I never saw anyone try to bring a case as obviously stupid as the New York prosecution of Trump, or the Georgia prosecution of Trump. The New York case was a tortured attempt to revive a misdemeanor prosecution on which the statute of limitations had run, and I expect the convictions that Bragg corruptly obtained in that case to be reversed on appeal. The Georgia prosecution was a purported RICO case in which the complaint alleged exactly one–count ’em, one–illegal act, with which Trump had nothing to do. That case has died a merciful death.
These prosecutions were an outrageous abuse of our legal system. We can only hope that someday, the Democratic Party will pay a heavy price.
