Puts him in Company with Hamilton, Jefferson, Adams
The Biden Department of Justice has indicted President Trump for yet another bogus claim: that he fraudulently questioned the outcome of the 2020 election. In other words, he is being charged with the crime of saying the election was rigged when he knew that it wasn’t. Apparently.
The four federal counts include: Conspiracy to defraud the US, Conspiracy to Obstruct and Official Proceeding, Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, Conspiracy against Rights.
According to attorney Kurt Schlichter, “It’s 45 pages of First Amendment protected activity broken up by four captions listing conspiracy statutes that do not apply.” The indictment alleges it’s a conspiracy to use free speech, and one that:
- criminalizes speech
- criminalizes thought
- criminalizes legal opinions
- criminalizes disinformation
As attorney Robert Barnes points out, the Senate has already acquitted Trump on this charge after his impeachment. He adds that Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams claimed or used the Vice Presidential power to certify electoral choices. This is at odds with Mike Pence, who released a statement saying,
“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.”
Pence is, of course, running against Trump in the Republican primary.
Why now?
Within hours of the indictment, it was announced that another IRS whistleblower was coming forward. Joe Ziegler, an IRS case agent, will deliver the next batch of Hunter Biden documents. These include transcripts from witnesses and additional detailed financial records that are being gathered by the House Ways and Means Committee.
Perhaps the DOJ is trying to distract us from the continuing revelations of Joe Biden’s bribery schemes. The last indictment was dropped the day following bombshell IRS whistleblower allegations against Hunter Biden. On Monday, Hunter’s business associate, Devin Archer, admitted in a closed hearing that Joe was on the phone more than 20 times with Hunter’s foreign associates.
Perhaps the DOJ did not want Archer to testify, and attempted to intimidate him. Biden’s Justice Department sent Archer a letter on Saturday regarding the day he should report to jail to start his year-and-a-day sentence in an unrelated fraud case. Both the Justice Department and Archer’s lawyer claimed the two events have nothing to do with each other—but it is interesting timing!
At the end of the day, we know:
Hunter received money from China (contradicting President Biden’s claim)
- Archer said President Biden was “the brand” that these foreign entities were paying for. Democrats say these 20+ conversations were nothing more than saying hello and “how’s the weather” to these foreign entities.
- Everything Archer and the IRS witnesses have testified can be proved by the contents of Hunter’s laptop and the money trail.
- The House GOP has the bank receipts—2,000 pages of them—proving the money flowed into nine Biden family bank accounts.
- Biden’s DOJ gave Hunter an unprecedented deal where he didn’t go to jail for felonies before the judge stopped them.
Donald Trump leads Biden in the polls. Joe Biden warned us in 2022 that his administration would make sure Trump does not win a second term. There are many examples of Democrats on video claiming the 2016 results were illegitimate, including former President Jimmy Carter and Hillary Clinton.
“We have to demonstrate that he will not take power—if he does run—by making sure he, under the legitimate efforts of the Constitution, Does Not become the next president again.”~~~Joe Biden
What’s Next
The Trump case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, an Obama appointee. She is the only federal judge in Washington DC who has sentenced Jan. 6 defendants to time frames longer than the government had requested. When Trump’s lawyers file a motion to dismiss, she will likely deny it. The case should make its way to the Court of Appeals, then the Supreme Court. One would hope that it will be dead on arrival once it finally gets there.
Trump attorney John Lauro said on Fox News:
“We now have the ability in this case to issue our own subpoenas. And we will re-litigate every single issue in the 2020 Election in the context of this [indictment]. It gives President Trump an opportunity that he has never had before, which is to have subpoena power… in federal court.”
Why this Matters: According to several legal experts, none of the charges in this indictment prevent President Trump from running and being elected in 2024. He seems energized by it and actually got another bump in his popularity following this latest indictment. He seemed in good spirits, judging from this post Wednesday morning:
How to Pray: May the people who have conspired to bend and stretch the law to trap Donald Trump fall into the pit they’ve dug for him. Pray that the former President will humble his heart before God and be led by the Holy Spirit as he faces these unprecedented legal challenges.
Prov. 14:22 – Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
Romans 2:1 – Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judges: for wherein thou judge another, thou condemn thyself; for thou that judges does the same things.
