The Biden-Harris administration, which lasted four years, was marked by the left's use of the legal system to exact political retribution and send a message to those who opposed progressive extremism. This totalitarian behavior has been central to America's identity and stability since its founding. After Biden's 2020 election win, Democrats used spurious and fraudulent readings of our laws to get revenge on Donald Trump and those who publicly supported him. They first went after those who demonstrated at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, many of whom were still imprisoned and suffering under false charges of "insurrection."
Then, those who rioted during the summer of 2020, leading to at least 28 deaths and more than $2 billion in property and other damage, went virtually uncharged for their violent crimes. To the left, it didn't matter. They then went after Trump's political allies and advisers, such as Steve Bannon, who was released from prison at the end of October after serving four months for "contempt of Congress" charges.
After Trump's win Tuesday, things have changed. Trump vowed to pardon some of the Jan. 6 demonstrators, ending four years of legal torment for many innocent people. Meanwhile, Trump himself appears to be emerging from the lawfare threat. Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy told "Fox and Friends" that a "clemency package" was emerging under which federal prosecutors would drop their charges against Trump, clearing the way for President Joe Biden to pardon his own son Hunter for his use of his father's influence to make millions of dollars from overseas governments. As part of this deal, Special Counsel Jack Smith will leave and unwind the cases against Trump.
