Demos Indict Trump for Clinton's Crimes

Remember when Demos tried to impeach Trump, TWICE, for what Biden actually did?

Mark Alexander

"In disquisitions of every kind there are certain primary truths, or first principles, upon which all subsequent reasoning must depend." —Alexander Hamilton (1788)

After two failed attempts to convict Donald Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors while president, his successor Joe Biden, with an assist from his AG Merrick Garland, has once again weaponized the DoJ's deep state partisans in an effort to indict Trump for, well, something.

In the words of that inimitable sage Yogi Berra, "It's like déjà vu all over again."

In January of 2020, and again in January of 2021, we deconstructed schemes by House impeachment manager Adam Schiff and his merry band of corrupt Demos to set up Senate convictions of Trump for doing what Joe Biden had in fact, actually done, twice.

The first attempt was to oust Trump for an alleged quid pro quo — threatening to withhold aid from Ukraine if that nation's prosecutors failed to investigate the corrupt Hunter Biden and his activities with the notoriously corrupt Burisma energy company.

Though the aid was released without connection to a Biden investigation, that quid pro quo is precisely what Biden had previously done with Ukrainian officials.

Recall that Biden bragged on the record about how, in 2015 as VP, he coerced Ukrainian officials to fire the prosecutor who was hot on the trail of Burisma and Hunter Biden — a firing that even The New York Times acknowledged benefited Hunter Biden. As Biden recounted, if Ukrainian officials didn't "take action against the state prosecutor" [read: fire him], "I said ... 'We're not going to give you the billion dollars. ... I'm telling you, you're not getting the billion dollars.' ... Well, son of a bitch. He got fired."

On a related note, as president, Biden again threatened to withhold military aid, this time from Afghanistan, if Afghan President Ashraf Ghani did not spin the situation there to fit Biden's political narrative. A month later came Biden's disgraceful surrender and retreat from Afghanistan.

The second time Schiff and Nancy Pelosi conspired to impeach Trump, again for something Joe Biden actually did was in January of 2021, after the January 6 "Insurrection™" at the Capitol. They accused Trump of fomenting the violence.

But far more consequential than the January protest at the Capitol building were the 600 violent riots causing billions of dollars in damages six months earlier — and almost 50 murders (including several police officers) in urban centers coast to coast.

Biden and Kamala Harris fomented that flood of violence in collusion with Democrats across the nation.

Their crass political calculation was that the riots led by their "Black Lives Matter" and "antifa movement" constituents, ostensibly protesting "systemic racism," would help defeat Trump two months after their "summer of rage" — and they were right.

Those two Trump impeachment charades came after Demos had spent almost three years trying to layup "Russia collusion" impeachment charges against Trump — a conspiracy fabricated by Hillary Clinton and her cabal of deep state actors. That cast included former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI counterespionage manager Peter Strzok, and former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith.

Oh, of course Barack Obama's fingerprints were all over that crime scene.

As we had predicted from day one of that ruse, it was finally shown to be exactly what it was, a dead-end fabrication, but, predictably, none of the key players were indicted, or ever will be.

So what now with Biden's big show at Mar-a-Lago?

I believe the Demos are formulating a "Br'er Rabbit" strategy — insisting they don't want Trump to run but actually baiting him to run, certain they can win on the hate and division they can generate against a Trump candidacy just as they did in 2020 (with a little help from massive bulk-mail ballot fraud). Endeavoring to invigorate their Trump-hating constituents ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, they hope he will announce his 2024 candidacy sooner rather than later, calculating that keeping Trump's name front and center on every Leftmedia platform will help cut their midterm losses.

The Demo calculation is that an announcement will invigorate more votes against Trump than the Mar-a-Lago search has invigorated for Trump, and conservative strategists fear it is working.

Short of his announcement, Demos hoped Nancy Pelosi's theatrical J6 "Insurrection™ Inquisition," delayed for almost a year so she and soon-to-be former Rep. Liz Cheney could get as much anti-Trump air time as possible, would amp-up the vigor of their anti-Trump constituents.

That strategy seemed to be dimming, so to shine an even brighter light on Trump, Biden enlisted the help of his DoJ lapdog Merrick Garland, who arranged a warrant to seize what DoJ claimed were classified National Archive documents, and "All physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed in violation" of federal statutes related to records, including "Any government and/or Presidential Records created between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021."

It is possible that some of those documents were being retained by Trump's legal team in order to expose the collaborators behind the Russia collusion hoax.

Garland may be tag-teaming with Pelosi for indictments against Trump for violations of the 1917 Espionage Act, perhaps to resurrect the claim that Trump was a Vladimir Putin operative all along.

So, Demos failed to convict Trump twice for what Biden actually did twice, and now they are attempting to convict Trump for what Hillary Clinton actually did.

Recall all the classified and Top Secret information Hillary Clinton transmitted on her personal email account and maintained on unsecured servers hidden in her residential closet, which she later had her staff "wipe" ahead of the 2016 election to hide her communications as Obama's secretary of state from public scrutiny. That included some of the most highly classified TS/SCI information.

Recall also that just ahead of the 2016 presidential election, then-FBI Director Comey, a loyal Clinton supporter who also helped fabricate the Trump/Russia collusion investigation, reopened the FBI investigation into Clinton's communications so he could publicly exonerate her from any prosecutable offense for Espionage Act violations. He did so despite the fact he knew then that Clinton's unsecured communications and server had been compromised by foreign intelligence hackers — likely Russian.

Let's be clear: Maintaining hard copies of some documents in a secured area of a former president's house, which is protected by the Secret Service among other law enforcement personnel, is a minuscule national security risk compared to unsecured transmitting and storing of highly classified information electronically.

Arguably, Clinton violated all three statutes used to justify the Mar-a-Lago search: 18 U.S. Code § 79318 U.S. Code § 2071, and 18 U.S. Code § 1519.

But like Joe and Hunter Biden, the Clintons were, and remain, above the law.

The Mar-a-Lago search has certainly achieved its political goal, ensuring that Trump is the hottest talkinghead topic on air and in print. There is endless speculation, including assertions that the DoJ had "no legal basis" for the search, and Trump is on the defense.

But the legal details are irrelevant to Democrats, because their strategy to light up Trump is working.

DoJ will drop indictments against Trump after, in effect, prosecuting him by leaks over the next month. Taking a wild guess, I suspect the indictments will come in October...
