Due to a technique known as “lawfare,” efforts are changing. The Biden administration is using taxpayer funds and national government funds to carry out the kind of politicking that has typically been carried out by political strategies.
The most recent season of The Drill Down features guests Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers demonstrating how the Biden administration is co-ordinating all four of the legal proceedings against former president Donald Trump in November.
The Government Accountability Institute ( GAI ) constructed a timeline of events, which Eric shares on the podcast, which shows the extent of the White House’s involvement in these supposedly “independent” prosecutions. The use of tax dollars on a political trial is a clear attempt to stifle a political opponent, as they demonstrated in a previous radio about how Biden has used them to attack Democrat voter turnout campaigns.
At the White House Correspondents Dinner last month, Fani Willis, the Fulton County prosecutor who is prosecuting Trump in Georgia on charges of election meddling, also attended. She cheatedly paid$ 625, 000 to her boyfriend Nathan Wade to handle the everyday running of that event. Wade made two visits to the White House, in May 2022 and again in November of the same year for meetings— never with Department of Justice officials, but with employees at the White House Counsel’s business. Eventually, a prosecutor forced Wade to resign from that position.
The Biden White House leaked a tale to the New York Times in April 2022 that showed Biden’s contempt for Attorney General Merrick Garland for refusing to press charges against Trump. Four months later, Trump’s Mar a Lago home was raided by the FBI at Garland’s manner.
According to Schweizer, another intriguing accident occurred in December of 2022 when Matthew Colangelo, the# 3 employee at the Department of Justice in Washington, announced his departure from DOJ to work for the Manhattan DA’s company.
As Schweizer notes, while the Manhattan DA’s company does problem, this is a “massive action over” for the next- highest DOJ official to consider. Other than Joe Biden wanting clear insight on the New York prosecutors, why make that move? Schweizer asks.
Two other members of the NY attorney’s group, Susan Hoffinger and Joshua Steinglass, were involved in the Trump Organization’s past court situation for conspiracy, legal tax fraud, and falsifying business records, as even reported by the Times.
Colangelo would later deliver the prosecution’s opening statement in Trump’s trial in Manhattan.
According to Schweizer, this is all covered in” the White House’s fingerprints.”
The combined weight of all these prosecutions, particularly the New York case’s order preventing Trump from leaving the state while the case is pending, constitutes a direct shambles of Trump’s ability to campaign for president and to win a lot of “earned media” with his well-liked rallies all over the country.
Even if Trump were to win all the cases, Schweizer points out that this is a sinister but brilliant strategy. This is the classic aim of lawfare.
And it’s being done with taxpayer money, according to Eggers, just as the Biden administration is using federal agencies to increase voter turnout among affluent voters.
Schweizer and Eggers note that when Trump was president, he did not start a politically motivated prosecution of his 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.
” How far we have fallen with the standards for government”, Schweizer notes.
