OPINION
Fulton County vs. US: Why the Latest Trump Indictments Are an Assault on Everything We Hold Dear

The Fulton County DA's legal vendetta against Donald Trump is remarkably audacious in two respects.
One, it pulls 18 additional defendants into the leftist/establishment dragnet, some of them guilty of nothing more than publicly questioning the fairness of the 2020 election, or of asking for someone's phone number on Trump's behalf. Thus, the Georgia trial, if the prosecutor follows through on her intention to try all 19 defendants together, will be a judicial and media circus on a scale not seen since the O.J. Simpson murder trial. It will be, from the perspective of almost every Republican and conservative, a new low in American jurisprudence.
Two, the Georgia case is also uniquely atrocious in that it posits that all the defendants are part of a broad criminal “conspiracy” to mislead the American public, to subvert government officials and institutions, and to overturn the result of a free and fair election. Because this was allegedly an organized conspiracy to violate the law, RICO charges have been brought against the defendants, including Trump, meaning that they will be treated like mafia bosses and will face potentially tougher penalties and longer sentences. The substance of the crimes themselves – charges like “false statements and writings” and “solicitation of violation of oath by public officer” – will be accentuated by the prosecutor's decision to frame them as an organized criminal enterprise.

... We might further demand to know whether Democrats' and progressives' aggressive peddling of false accusations of Trump-Russia collusion was not similarly an organized conspiracy to overturn (indirectly) the results of the 2016 election, by fraudulently soliciting the impeachment and removal of the duly-elected president.

In short, the temerity and dangerousness of the Georgia prosecutions are difficult to overstate, and perhaps the most shocking thing about them is that their horrifying implications seem not to have occurred to a single figure on the Left – or, if they have, they seem not to be troubled by them. But then, why would a party that has embraced censorship of oppositional speech, and the persecution of dissidents in and by the private sector (with the helping hand of federal authorities), blanch at taking progressive authoritarianism to the next level: the criminalization of the democratic process itself?
That is how low we have sunk in this country, and that is how close we now are to losing, for all intents and purposes, the right and the ability to fight back against leftist tyranny.
