Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe exposes the Biden administration's weaponization of the Department of Justice to target political enemies and prosecute Donald Trump allies and supporters.
Vice President Kamala Harris' recent warning that Donald Trump would "weaponize" the Department of Justice if elected raises questions about the Biden-Harris administration's own actions over the past three years. While President Joe Biden decries threats to democracy, his Justice Department (DOJ) has relentlessly pursued legal proceedings against MAGA Republicans, Catholics, pro-life advocates, parents' groups, and others who oppose their progressive agenda.
Beyond the four dubious charges brought against Trump, the DOJ has convicted and sentenced several of his allies, including Peter Navarro, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, Allen Weisselberg, and Steve Bannon. These convictions stand out in an era where violent offenders often evade prison time.
The DOJ has also pursued a series of "fake elector" charges in critical swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Michigan. The indictments target individuals accused of trying to prevent Joe Biden from becoming president. Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro have received jail sentences for refusing to testify before the January 6 Committee, marking a rare occurrence in history.
The Biden administration has expanded its legal attacks to include grassroots parents protesting COVID regulations in schools. The DOJ's "domestic terrorism" crackdown has drawn criticism from Republicans, who view it as intimidation tactics. Additionally, the DOJ has investigated and targeted traditional Catholics, identifying them as potential domestic terrorists.
Pro-life advocates have faced legal action under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act), with Paulette Harlow recently sentenced to 24 months in jail for blocking access to an abortion clinic. However, the same FACE Act has been largely ignored in cases of attacks against pregnancy resource centers and Catholic churches.
In contrast to the prosecution of Trump and his allies, the Biden administration has treated politically connected figures with greater leniency. Hillary Clinton and her associates escaped charges for their involvement in the Steele Dossier, which was used to discredit Trump in the 2016 election. Similarly, Joe Biden faced no repercussions for his mishandling of classified documents, despite his earlier criticism of Trump's actions.
Former President Trump has accused the Biden administration of prosecuting him as a proxy for its true target: the American public. The relentless legal attacks on MAGA supporters and Trump allies have created a perception of two systems of justice. The disparity between the treatment of conservatives and liberals has fueled voter mistrust and raised questions about the fairness of the Biden administration's actions.
