Biden and his gang of neocon controllers are unpopular, but they want to stay in power. How can they do this? Easy—they think. By making up charges against the main opposition candidate and putting him on trial, hoping that people either won’t vote for a “criminal” or that the opposition candidate can be pressured to withdraw from the campaign. This is what is happening to Donald Trump. But their tactics may backfire and they are destroying the rule of law.

Jack Goldsmith, an establishment anti-Trump lawyer who was an Assistant Attorney General, warns about the consequences in an article in the New York Times, August 8, 2023: “It may be satisfying now to see the special counsel Jack Smith indict Donald Trump for his reprehensible and possibly criminal actions in connection with the 2020 presidential election. But the prosecution, which might be justified, reflects a tragic choice that will compound the harms to the nation from Mr. Trump’s many transgressions.
