Defund the FBI and the CIA!
A possible Trump indictment over what he said about Jan. 6 would be the latest, and best, reason why.
What a week!
As the Trump team awaits its latest indictment from a politicized Department of Justice, a judge throws out Hunter Biden’s laughably lenient plea deal from the same corrupt bureaucracy.1
If you’re troubled by what’s happening to ‘blind’ justice, you’re not alone. After all, the path to tyranny doesn’t really begin with shutting down a free press. As we’ve seen, journalists are more than willing to do that themselves.
Nor does it begin (though it may end) with confiscating firearms in an attempt to ward off any future uprising. No, the first thing every petty potentate does before anything else is weaponize law enforcement and the military. Without doing that, ruling with an iron fist is nearly impossible.
That’s why ‘military coups’ are so prevalent in the most unstable and despotic regimes that are so fond of imprisoning their opponents for the crimes they commit. And if that sounds eerily familiar, read on.
Taking a cue from the Democrats’ failed 2021 impeachment, ‘special counsel’ Jack Smith (the latest in a series) apparently wants to indict Trump for his speech. Specifically, inciting the Jan. 6th chaos at the Capital by boldly declaring what it’s going to take for America to prevail.2
"We fight like hell,” said the former President, “And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.”3
One can easily point to what he said in the same speech that day, urging supporters to march “…over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”4 But I won’t, because if routine hyperbole can be used as fodder for political persecution there is little chance of surviving the Orwellian hellscape anyway.
For a Democrat/Media complex intent on destroying its enemies and exonerating its friends, it all “depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”5 They use language the way Humpty Dumpty did, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”6
