Political lawfare against and by Trump

 By Mathew Goldstein


Here we have lawyer Andrew McCarthy, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York making a convincing argument that under Obama, Biden, and now Trump state and/or federal law has been weaponized for politically motivated prosecutions, a.k.a. lawfare. This interview by Coleman Hughes reveals how weak several of the election time prosecutions of Trump were and that Trump is now targeting for prosecution some of the same people who previously deployed lawfare against him: The hard truth about the Trump prosecutions. Some people who were in a position to prosecute Trump may have felt themselves to be justified in doing so because Trump sometimes resorted to dishonest and underhanded campaign tactics such as questioning Obama’s citizenship status. The ongoing misuse of law to fight political battles undermines the rule of law and does more harm than good, this needs to stop.
