This week all eyes were on the Willis-Wade fiasco in Fulton County, Georgia, but three less smuttily scintillating cases seem at last to be limiting the overreach of the Department of Justice respecting the J6 defendants and Jack Smith’s persecution of President Donald Trump. In interpreting criminal statutes, it seems to me that Courts should not be creative and expansively read into them things that the legislature which writes the laws did not clearly proscribe as illegal, and it appears that finally, courts higher than the highly partisan D.C. Circuit judges understand that.

I wouldn't say " honest judges." I'm guessing they don't want to look like fools when these "convictions" get overturned.

Jack Smith is the master of twisting laws and creative charges to get the results that he wants. All of his prosecutions seem politically based and biased. He is also very good at court and judge shopping to get the results he wants. Jack Smith also has an high rate of overturned convictions for the same reasons. In the process, he destroys the persons reputation and financially, still getting the results he wanted.

This is one of the cues that the Lawfare strategy is Ibama's brainchild. Obama, perhaps one of the most heavily over-rated politicians of modern time, whose popularity largely rests on white guilt and the color of his skin, loved this tactic.
Why fix what ain't broke?
Because... It IS broke,

Her final sentence: 'I hate to help the opposition, but I do think they’d be better off crafting and sticking to rational policies and sentient candidates than trying to get rid of the opposition through such persistent and unpersuasive lawfare.' When your candidate is manifestly corrupt, incompetent and evil, you must grab your only tool: discredit, defame, and legally batter your opponent. Hey, it worked for Barry when he stole the Illinois Senate seat...why wouldn't he use it again now?

Reduced sentences for J6 prisoners? But Jamaal Bowman, with aforethought and malice, intentionally pulls a fire alarm to stop a congressional proceeding which was not going his way and not only was not punished but is still in Congress.
I can’t wait until President Trump pardons every one of those J6 prisoners on his first day in office next year.

Jack O. Smiff. If you need someone without conscience to convict an innocent person - at least until the unanimous reversal on appeal - Jack O. Smiff is your freak of nature. Meanwhile, Friends of the FBI who incited mayhem, like ray epps, walk around unscathed.

I absolutely love Clarice Feldman and she is always on my "must read list". However, we conservatives need to stop using the word "lawfare". Yes, I understand completely what it means, but it does not market well to most of the sheeple. We need to define this as "judicial corruption" or something similar to make it clear this is not a "game" or a "strategy", it is the destruction and total corruption of our judicial system. I think calling it "corruption" in a very clear and wide manner will get more tractions with the people who don't keep up.

FTA, the very last sentence - "I hate to help the opposition, but I do think they’d be better off crafting and sticking to rational policies and sentient candidates than trying to get rid of the opposition through such persistent and unpersuasive lawfare."
My observation all along. if the deep state were committed to a fair and honest election process in 2020 and taken a loss to Trump like men, then, today, they would have only ten months of TDS to stress about. But no, they preferred to cheat while spending many millions of tax dollars spreading Trump-hate and destroying the J6 political prisoners. And they took corruption and evil behavior to new levels.

As California demonstrates for us visually evey so often, if you build a mansion on a cliff made of mud, it eventually collapses into the sea. Trump's indictments are all built along that cliff.

As the tides for Trump rise and the demise of demented Bidet appears on the horizon, the Parasite Employees of DC begin to, figuratively speaking, scurry to the nearest dark kitchen cabinet when the light goes on. Perhaps they're beginning to realize that their "Lawfare Kidz" gave it their best shot at damaging "extreme right-wing Republicans," but, they're still standing, and successfully fighting back, just in time for the General Election; a time when government persecution can bring out even more likely voters to squash the vermin.

These dishonest prosecutors who have colluded with each other to interfere with Trump's reelection should be liable for his legal costs.

The usual clear, concise and sensible look at the roiling insanity that the Demonrats inflict on the country daily.
And they are 1) making more people support Trump and 2) losing anyway with their fraudulent, twisted, illogical 'lawfare'.

Every time these fake cases, supported by elected dems and liberal media coverage, crashes & burns, it strengthens Trump and proves his case about the Deep State. Some people don't like that Trump is confrontational but how would YOU deal with false accusations designed to undermine your legitimate presidency? An FBI, CIA, State Dept., Dem Congress that blatantly lies about Trump and time after time is exposed as the liars Trump has said they are.
Trump insults the media. OK, only 15% of people trust the liberal media, which is collapsing under the weight of its lies. (Bye bye CNN) Trump has said they are Fake News and THEY ARE. Beyond that, they are calculating, vicious, and in collusion with the Deep State, EXACTLY as Trump has claimed.
Trump is the most investigated President in history and the most exonerated. The few charges he has been convicted of by corrupt justices are teetering on complete collapse through judicial abuse. These liberal criminals should be removed from their position and banned from government service. Smith should end up chasing ambulances.

FTA:
The last hope is to keep him off the ballot, and joining several states in this effort, this week a traffic court judge in Cook County ruled he could not appear on the Illinois primary ballot because of the “insurrection.” The judge stayed her order and Trump has appealed. In Colorado, where this tinpot claim first appeared, a judge has ruled otherwise, and held that Trump must be allowed on the ballot.
"A traffic court judge"... Illinois. It figures.

The amount of bias, partisanship, and perversion of the law by many judges and lawyers makes the general population to lose all respect for our, so called, justice system. It is a tragedy that cases now have to rise to the level of the SCOTUS to get redress of the many injustices committed by lower courts. The cost of challenging unjust rulings by these courts is so costly that only the rich can afford to do. Thus, for most of us this is justice denied.

Miss Clarice hits it Out of the Park..... Again!
SO MANY good comments!
I agree with all of them, but I wish to offer a couple of 'comments on the comments':
#2, #13, Jack Smith and his collaborators should be PERSONALLY liable (NOT the Taxpayers!) for his victim's legal costs! RICO 'em, and the whole Democ'RAT party!
#9, "judicial corruption" is good, perhaps "Judicial Abuse", but I agree 110%!
L-Dotters, let's come up with a good phrase that has the 'ring' to it to make it go Viral!
#18.... Chasing ambulances is too good an end for 'Smiff'!
I want to see him toting roofing shingles in the hot summer sun!
#19, "A traffic court judge"..... indeed! What crookedness!
#20, It's no longer the 'Justice' system. It's now the 'Just-Us' system.
A Republican in today's DC has the same chance as a black guy in the Deep South in the
KKK era. The common thread..... DC today and the Deep South KKK.... both Democ'RATS!

"It's a Big Club, and YOU ain't in it!"

Thank God for honest judges. And some of them were appointed by Democrat presidents. May the truth prevail.
