Trump's complaints about the future of U.S. elections turn ironic

[LetMyPeopleVote]

When TFG claims that the DOJ is partisan and that TFG is being politically prosecuted, this is all projection on the part of TFG..TFG wants to use the DOJ to punish his enemies. President Biden and AG Garland have restored mission of the DOJ to be above politics and that pisses off TFG. If TFG's policies were in place, the DOJ would be pursuing far more cases against TFG,

But Trump’s overarching complaint is that the case exists at all. Yesterday afternoon, for example, he published a rather long tirade to his social media platform, and while it originally appeared in all capital letters, I’m quoting it in its entirety in standard capitalization to make it easier to read:

“How can my corrupt political opponent put me on trial(s) during a campaign that I am winning (by a lot!), but forcing me to spend time and money away from the ‘campaign trail’ in order to fight bogus accusations & charges? Is this going to be the future of elections in America? Can a president order his Department of Justice to indict an opponent just prior to an election? Why didn’t they do this 2.5 years ago? Why now? Never happened before in the USA. This is all about election interference!”

.....As we discussed a couple of months ago, the former Republican president, while in office, spent much of his White House tenure trying to turn Justice Department prosecutors into his own personal attack dogs. The New York Times reported last year that Trump and his team “tried to turn the nation’s law enforcement apparatus into an instrument of political power” to carry out the Republican’s wishes. A Washington Post analysis published soon after highlighted the many instances in which Trump not only leaned on the Justice Department to follow his whims, but also Trump’s efforts to push federal law enforcement to validate the Big Lie in the wake of his election defeat.

The Republican’s weaponization efforts reached a truly amazing pinnacle less than a month before Election Day 2020, when Trump publicly called on federal prosecutors to go after Biden — at the time, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee who was leading the Republican incumbent in the polls — accusing him of undefined crimes. The then-president added that his future successor shouldn’t be “allowed” to run against him.

On Oct. 7, 2020, with early voting underway across much of the country, Politico published an especially memorable headline: “‘Where are all of the arrests?’: Trump demands Barr lock up his foes.”

The next day, the Republican incumbent spoke to Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo and called on the Justice Department to "indict" his perceived Democratic foes — including Biden.

In 2020, TFG ordered Barr to arrest Biden. Luckily Barr did not follow this order. If TFG is re-elected, a new TFG selected AG will not hesitate to arrest TFG's political opponents. If TFG is re-elected, our democratic form of government will cease

2. Dotard said that if I voted for Hillary, there would be a crook in the WH. He was right.

3. Oh, he hasn't forgotten about it.

He completely believes the DOJ is there to serve him and when they don’t, they are being unfair.

L'État, c'est moi.

Here’s hoping he finally learns how wrong he is.
