Dem strategist admits lawfare against Trump was all party ‘resistance’
Democrats’ lawfare against President Donald Trump was much more than just their voting against his plans and ideas in Congress. More than their public innuendo about him breaking democracy. Much more than the falsified claims perpetrated by the schemers of the Russian collusion conspiracy. Much more than just the Deep Staters ignoring his orders, reversing them when they could within their own sphere of government influence.
It also was all the criminal and civil cases created against him. It was all of the wild and unsubstantiated claims they used in two failed impeach-and-remove campaigns. It was Democrat prosecutors likely misusing their positions of power to attack him.
That’s the conclusion drawn from an admission by a Democrat strategist.
“I can’t believe it. They finally admitted it on live TV: The prosecution of President Trump was an organized effort by the Democratic Party ‘resistance.’ Lawfare is real. The justice system was weaponized against President Trump,” explained Scott Jennings.

It was strategist Lis Smith, also a CNN panelist who said, “Democrats cannot be only the part of resistance. We cannot – like – we resisted so hard between 2017 and 2024. We impeached the guy…”
Jennings, “Twice.”
Smith, “‘Like, we prosecuted him, convicted him of 34 felony counts, and guess what? He still got elected. So, I don’t know how much harder we can resist right now…”
Jennings: “Are you admitting that the case in New York against Trump was part of the organized Democrat Party resistance?”
Smith, “It was a Democrat prosecutor.”
Jennings: “Yeaaaaah! Okay!”
Smith, “It was! At the time I said this was unwise.”
Jennings, “You were right.”
Not the Bee commented, “Let’s just take a moment here to appreciate what Scott Jennings’ mere presence on CNN has accomplished. They have admitted to lawfare. They have admitted openly that they abused their office, abused their power, colluded with law enforcement – all in an effort to stop the Bad Orange Man.”
Other social media comments:
“Damning” and “stunning” admission.”
“Legend,”
“As we knew all along.”
“Has hell frozen over?”
And one that made the point a little more direct: “Now they must all go to jail.”
Holy cow!
Quite a damning admission
As to facts we knew they couldn’t deny

Justice is coming.

A good number of the cases against Trump failed. In one, there’s the possibility that Georgia will have to reimburse Trump for his legal fees for Fani Willis’ wild claim that included organized crime charges.
One in New York, before a leftist judge, resulted in 34 convictions against Trump for essentially describing his legal expenses as legal expenses, and that’s on appeal.
New York Attorney General Letitia James’ case, claiming fraud in a series of deals that the “victims” all were happy with Trump’s performance and payments, ended up with a half a billion dollar penalty for Trump from a leftist judge had been openly critical of Trump.
That, too, is on appeal, with multiple analysts describing the result as a clear weaponization of government against Trump.
Ironically, James herself now is under investigation for possible felony charges from suspected fraud that she committed
