John Hinderaker writes for the Power Line blog about Democrats’ long legal campaign against Donald Trump.
The Democrats’ attempt to imprison Donald Trump, their number one political opponent over the last decade, is unprecedented in American history and is more redolent of a banana republic than the American political tradition. Democrats in New York and Georgia largely did their party’s dirty work, charging Trump under state laws.
Democrats maintained the pretense that these bogus prosecutions were independent of the Biden administration, but we now know that wasn’t true. The effort to end Trump’s political career through farcical criminal charges was orchestrated from the top.
On behalf of its client Just the News, America First Legal has pried loose 8,000 pages of documents relating to the disgraced Fani Willis’s failed prosecution of Trump in Fulton County, Georgia. …
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built a failed criminal case against President Donald Trump and his allies related to their challenge to Georgia’s 2020 election results, according to a trove of internal communications obtained by Just the News.
The memos show that President Joe Biden’s top White House lawyer personally opened the door for Willis’ prosecutors to interview Trump administration officials by waiving claims of executive privilege, that federal prosecutors waived certain rights to allow the interviews to proceed before a state grand jury and that Willis’s team spoke glowingly of the congressional efforts to expose Trump’s involvement in the disputed election.
The Obama administration used executive privilege extensively and successfully to fend off Congressional investigations, but in this case Joe Biden waived Donald Trump’s privileges for political reasons.
It has been known for years that Biden waived Trump’s executive privilege for the congressional inquiry and the federal prosecution of Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, but the Georgia memo appears to be the first document to show how Biden extended that waiver in coordination with a prosecution at the state level.
