Recently, the Democratic Party has launched a series of legal attacks on former Trump and his supporters, trying to send them to court and even jail on various charges. The reasonableness and impartiality of these legal actions have been widely questioned, and they stand in stark contrast to Biden's attitude in the face of congressional investigations. Is the Democrats' legal battle a righteous pursuit of Trump, or a self-destruction of democracy?
The Democrats' legal battle is based on political hatred of Trump, not respect for the law.
The Democrats have always considered Trump to be the greatest threat to American democracy, and therefore must use all means to prevent him from running again**. To that end, they have used their advantage in blue cities and states, using left-wing politicians, prosecutors, and lawyers to wage a "legal war" against Trump and his most loyal supporters, a term that almost nonexisted before Trump was elected in 2016. They do not hesitate to push legal theories to the limit, even violating legal principles, to deal with their political opponents. Their practices not only undermine the credibility and authority of the legal system, but also expose their double standards and hypocrisy.
The Democrats' legal battle is an unjust ** against Trump and his supporters, not a justified trial against them.
Trump is currently facing four major criminal cases and 91 charges involving tax, fraud, defamation, and insurrection. Most of these cases were filed in New York State, where Trump was widely hated and Biden won 87 percent of the vote in the 2020 vote. Trump received little to no fair hearing in these cases, instead being pre-convicted of guilt.
For example, he was accused of inflating the value of his property after obtaining a loan, thus constituting fraud. However, he has repaid the loan in full without causing any loss or victims. Even the Associated Press expressed skepticism about the allegation, saying Trump's company was the only major company facing the threat of being shut down, and that the accusation was based on a rare law used by Trump in New York State. If a New York judge accepts the charge, Trump could face up to 3$700 million in fines and even lost his business. Some legal experts warn that this could create a dangerous precedent for future political retaliation.
In addition, Trump was also accused by an unknown woman, E. Jean Carroll**, and her lawsuit is more like a false accusation. Although Trump denied the accusation and retorted to her in fiery language, the Manhattan jury still ruled that he should pay Carroll nearly $90 million in damages. These cases show the relentless Democrats' relentless assault on Trump, not his legitimate trial.
The Democrats' legal battle is a self-destruction of democracy, not a protection of it.
Democrats may believe that they can prevent Trump's political career through legal warfare, or even put him in jail, so as to maintain the stability and security of democracy. However, they ignore the consequences and risks of doing so.
On the one hand, they have intensified the antagonism and antagonism in society and undermined the unity and harmony of the country. They do not respect the legitimate rights and interests of Trump's supporters, but treat them as enemies and criminals, mercilessly hunting them down and punishing them. In Washington, D.C., prosecutions over January 6** and riots have spiraled out of control. Even the New York Times admitted that they had arrested many innocent people who had just entered the Capitol building. These practices have not only aroused anger and revolt among Trump's supporters, but also caused dissatisfaction and concern among other citizens.
On the other hand, they exposed their own double standards and contempt for the law in the face of congressional investigations. Biden has told his two former men, Andy Slavitt and Rob Flahati, that as deputy campaign managers for Biden's 2024 campaign, it is ugly enough to ignore legitimate congressional subpoenas. But to make matters worse, it did so when they indicted two of Trump's advisers for rejecting similar testimony.
This obvious double standard and contempt for the law not only undermines Biden's credibility and legitimacy, but also weakens the power and oversight function of Congress. This approach is contrary to the values and principles that the Democratic Party claims to uphold democracy.
The Democrats' legal battle is against Trump, not against Trump. Their means are to exploit the loopholes and biases of the legal system instead of following the rules and procedures of the law. The result is social upheaval and instability, which leads to a crisis of the rule of law and the collapse of democracy.
