A reminder to everyone who is switching to Trump because they feel the Democrats have 'weaponized' the Justice Department:
Two wrongs do not make a right
Donald Trump has said, on record, that he WILL weaponize the Justice Department to go after his enemies. If the 'weaponization' of the justice system is what you are against, voting for Trump will just make it worse.

Is this what you're referring to? Because I'm not seeing where he says he WILL do this.
"Well, he's unleashed something that everybody, we've all known about this for a hundred years," Trump said, apparently in reference to President Biden and his administration. "We've watched other countries do it and, in some cases, effective and in other cases, the country's overthrown or it's been totally ineffective. But we've watched this for a long time, and it's not unique, but it's unique for the United States. Yeah. If they do this and they've already done it, but if they want to follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse. It could certainly happen in reverse. What they've done is they've released the genie out of the box."
"They call it weaponization, and the people aren't going to stand for it," Trump said. "But yeah. they have done something that allows the next party. I mean, if somebody — if I happen to be president and I see somebody who's doing well and beating me very badly, I say, 'Go down and indict them.' Mostly what that would be, you know, they would be out of business. They'd be out, they'd be out of the election."
He is speaking of the very foreseeable situations that this behavior will lead to. Kind of like the Dems efforts to remove the filibuster in the Senate, and to pack the Supreme Court, and, oh yeah, remove a contender from the ballot, which we all seem to have already forgotten.
See my other post about what Trump actually did, not said.
He is "preparing" the populace for him to weaponize the Dept of Justice against anyone who he considers an enemy. That could be you for all I know. This is scary stuff. If you think Biden is bad, why do you think Trump is good? Because he's on your team? He has done and will do exactly the same thing you accuse Biden of.
So what is your solution? Don't punish Democrats for this?! The answer is to punish people who commit lawfare at the ballot box until they stop. If Trump *actually* does this I will vote against him until politicians get the memo that lawfare is a losing strategy.
Vote the DA out of office. That is how you punish the Democrats on this. Electing Trump will not solve the problem but only make it worst. Vote in people who pledge to not do what you think is bad. Has Trump made such a pledge? So far he has said the exact opposite.
This is beyond voting scumbags out of office...Democrats have taken this to the level of how things get done on the streets...America will not be taken over by these aaaholes simply by waiting for the next election...Scary time in America and it would be better to be armed than it would to be a Democrat...
Your alternative is to vote for those who’ve already done it, or to abstain? Past choices are the best predictor of future actions. Apparently you hold that “weaponized” doesn’t include include directing the FBI to investigate parents who disagreed with woke school boards or slow-walking Hunter Biden’s prosecution to a sweetheart deal stopped at the last by a judge asking a basic question. Better yet, consider the IRS whistleblowers who risked their future careers by reporting the limitations placed by the Justice Department appointed prosecutor upon reasonable lines of investigation.
Our choice is between a party hack whose mind is far gone and a loudmouth whose claims (which result in him dominating the news) far exceed his reach.
"Past choices are the best predictor of future actions." Okay then:
“According to Sessions, the President asked him to reverse his recusal so that Sessions could direct the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton,” the Mueller report said.
and
Geoffrey Berman, a Republican who served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York until Trump fired him, described Barr’s Justice Department in his book, “Holding the Line.” “Demands came down from Main Justice that were overtly political — among the most outrageous of them, pressure to pursue baseless criminal charges against John Kerry, who had served in the Obama administration as Secretary of State,” he wrote.
Hmmmm. Looks like Trump and the Republicans started 'weaponizing' the Dept of Justice before Sleepy Joe did. Trump is already priming the pump for round 2; listen closely to his language.
What were the baseless charges against Kerry? I suspect that it was that he continued to speak to Iranians and recommend to them that they hold out for a Democratic return to office. I very much suspect no one would think that baseless if a Republican did it.

Naive
Did you miss the Biden Campaign rallying outside the courthouse and fundraising within minutes of the verdict? This goes way past a single DA.

All I am saying is that Trump is not the answer.

Please name an actual crime you think John Kerry did.
