“VICTORY OVER LAWFARE”
Video transcript
But we begin with good news tonight against all odds after years of sketchy war and subpoenas early morning raids Dozens of cooked-up charges one after another far left judges and Trump hating juries. Donald Trump has Eviscerated the left's lawfare campaign today, New York judge Democratic donor Juan Mershon Announced that Trump would receive no jail time. No fine No probation after a Manhattan jury convicted Trump on what is a novel bizarre Legal theory surrounding a case that had no victims I mean it was a legal NDA put together by a lawyer and it was chronicled as a legal expense Judge Mershon told Trump sir I wish you Godspeed as you assume your second term in office. It was almost laughable but despite no penalty at all Donald Trump will rightly appeal this bogus conviction at his Sentencing the president elect blasting the left their attempts to weaponize our system of justice. Take a look This has been a very terrible experience. I think it's been a tremendous setback for New York and the New York court system This was a case that Alvin Bragg did not want to bring He thought it was from what I read and from what I hear that inappropriately Handled before he got there a Gentleman from a law firm came in and acted as a district attorney and that gentleman From what I heard was a criminal or almost criminal in what he did It was very inappropriate. It was a somebody involved with my political opponent Think about legal expenses are down as legal expenses and and I get indicted for business records. Everybody should be so accurate It's been a political witch hunt it was done to damage my reputation so that I'd lose the election and obviously that didn't work and The people of our country got to see this firsthand because they watched the case in your courtroom They got to see this firsthand and then they voted and I won and got the largest number of votes by far of any Republican candidate in history and One as you know all seven swing states One conclusively all seven swing states and one the popularity the popular vote By millions and millions of votes and they've been watching you trial So they understood it with all that's happening in our country today with a city that's burning to the ground one of our largest most important cities burning to the ground with with wars that are uncontrollably going on with all of the problems of inflation and attacks on Countries and all of the horrible things that are going on I got indicted over calling a legal expense a legal expense and the people of this country understand what's gone on This has been a weaponization of government. They call it lawfare never happened to any extent like this but never happened in our country before and I just like to explain that I was treated very very unfairly and I thank you very much All right Trump hating Democrats they tried to throw the former president in prison They wanted to send him to Rikers Island. They wanted to ruin his life They did try to destroy his reputation all in order to block him from winning an election This is a massive scandal one of the biggest in modern American history and the media. They're perfectly fine with it These Democrats utterly failed and now it's time for a reckoning at the DOJ The FBI and the clown shows that are going on in Atlanta and New York now I don't mean that Republicans should follow suit. No, they should end the weaponization of justice They should adhere to equal justice and application of our laws returned to constitutional order They shouldn't do to them and they're scared to death it that would happen That which was done to Donald Trump the left tried to turn our courts the FBI our Intelligence community into a Soviet style political enforcement arm of the Democratic Party Thankfully that'll end in what 12 days whatever it is on January 20th If you are a Democrat and you're watching tonight pay close attention in this country Crimes get prosecuted not people in this country Justice is supposed to be blind. We're supposed to have equal justice under the law without political bias far-left bureaucrats that live in DC Do not get to anoint our leaders and make our laws and American presidents are Supposed to lead and not take orders in between their naps from a you know group of unelected Overeducated socialists that have an agenda. This is a Democratic Republic. It must remain one It's supposed to be by of and for the people and our rights are enshrined by a creator not the thing Joe Anyway, the left tried to criminalize Donald Trump's free expression in the whole process Block is right to participate in our elections and in the process They ended up putting Donald Trump and his supporters through hell He this can never happen again The pompous far-left bureaucrats long entrenched in that Washington swamp when Donald Trump gets in I hope he fires them all Flushes them all out so that freedom equal justice the rule of law Constitutional order will be restored in just what ten days this important work will officially begin and not a moment too soon

LAURA INGRAHAM: “LAWFARE LOSES—FINALLY”
Video transcript
Good evening everyone. I'm Laura Ingraham. This is Ingraham Angle from Washington tonight. Just moments ago on Truth Social, Donald Trump revealed one of his first acts as president. This is a big one. On January 20th, as one of his many first executive orders, he will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States. And it's ridiculous open borders. It's time for them to pay a very big price. Most of that, of course, focus on Mexico there. More on that later. Plus, Eric Trump will react to that and a lot more. But first, lawfare loses. That's the focus of tonight's angle. Well, he came in very hot against Trump. Good evening. Today, an indictment was unsealed, charging Donald J. Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise voters and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding. The attack on our nation's capital on January 6th, 2021 was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy. So sanctimonious. But it turns out the unprecedented assault on our democracy was committed not by Donald Trump, but by the legal henchmen like Jack Smith and their political and media backers. Now, today, Smith was compelled to file motions to dismiss his cases against Trump, one of which was promptly granted by D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkin. Now, this is obviously a huge victory for President-elect Trump, but Smith and his allies tried their best to frame the result as not based on the merits, but simply compelled by longstanding policy. This has nothing to do with the strength of the case. This simply has to do with the verdict, essentially, that voters gave on the Justice Department policy, longstanding Justice Department policy. The Department is not allowed to prosecute a president, a sitting president. That shield, essentially, also applies to him as a elected president, as the president-elect. Now, when the news came out, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the cases were empty and lawless and should never have been brought. They are celebrating. This was the goal all along, was that they would get these cases dropped. The idea of it actually being revived in their mind seems highly unlikely. This seems like the end of all this. Well, but not so fast. While we love seeing these cases falling into the abyss one after the other, the petty and vindictive Jack Smith made sure to request that the cases be dismissed without prejudice, meaning? These cases could be revived after Trump serves this next term, right? That's right. I mean, look, if you look at the language that the special counsel used and that the judge uses in deciding this without prejudice means that when Donald Trump is no longer president of the United States, these cases could be revived. Yeah, that theoretically, the charges could be reinstated on January 21st, 2029, when Donald Trump is 82 years young. Now, of course, Trump's DOJ can and should take actions to ensure that these cases aren't just dormant, they're dead. So as we celebrate Donald Trump's beating the Lawfare League at their own game, we should also, we must never forget how close they came to upending our entire system of government with their corrupt and illegal use of our justice system. Now, remember, they were so desperate to stop Trump. The left even tried to use a whacked out interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which was a complete joke, to prevent him from being on the ballot in key states. Thank God they were goose egged by the Supreme Court, which struck down the effort with an exclamation mark back in May. But ever since Trump announced his third run at the presidency, the DC machine and their venal auxiliaries were intent on locking him up. They like they're like jackals circling a wounded lion. The search of Marlago. It just sends the message that there is no person in this country who's above the law. What we are seeing here is exactly what should be done. We need to recognize and praise Merrick Garland for following the rule of law. The message that it sends is really important that even the former president of the United States can be held accountable and should be and will be. And Trump's aides and allies were forced to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. People's lives were turned upside down. Then it was who will turn on Trump first? Who'll take a plea deal and give up the goods? All this speculating was so stupid. Then let's not forget following his motorcade in Manhattan to the courthouse. What about fingerprints? What about the mugshot? Everything you're going to be able to see live on TV. They're going to be mugshots. They're going to be fingerprints. Donald Trump will be fingerprinted. He will be photographed and end up with a mugshot. A picture that will live in infamy. The first mugshot of an American president splashed across the front pages this morning. Of course he turned that into a huge coup for himself because he's smarter than they are. Of course, what about all the taxpayer dollars that were spent on these fraudulent cases? We'll never get it back. And we'll never really know how much was spent. Newsweek estimated that what about 50 million or so was spent by just Jack Smith team. That's an understatement. So what we saw was a serious concerted effort to use all the resources of the federal government to put Donald Trump in prison for the rest of his life. And it was all because they wanted to prevent you the people from having your say. And of course, him from being president. So history is going to remember Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg, Fonny Willis, and the judges who let these cases get as far as they did as modern day keystone cops who chased Trump around hounding him, trying to keep him off the campaign trail because they hated his agenda. They hate everything he stands for. So it's a mistake to write them off as all incompetence. Their teams were backed by some of the smartest and toughest, meanest lawyers out there. They worked nights and weekends and through holidays all to put him behind bars and subvert this election. The only reason Donald Trump is not in jail now is because of you, the voters. And of course Trump himself. Imagine if Trump wasn't Trump. Forget about it. Most people would have folded like a $20 lawn chair. He fought like his freedom depended on it, but mostly because our freedom depended on it. If Harris had won, this sick weaponization of our justice system would have been validated. At least for now, it's on ice. But despite these setbacks, the angle does not believe the Democrats have given up on this lawfare strategy. In a statement reacting to the dismissal, Adam Schiff today ripped the system saying, if Democrats, you know, basically saying that the system itself failed, failed the people, failed to do what it was supposed to do. And I'm telling you, if the Democrats somehow managed to take the House in 2026 and they could, it is highly probable that they will do everything in their power, stay with me here, to impeach Donald Trump again. You think I'm kidding? Well, we'll see. And if Democrats win in 2028, I mean, they're just going to resume the case that we're talking about tonight and they'll probably try to go after Vance as well. And anyone else connected to Trump. This is why the DOJ has to be cleaned out. I think Pam Bondi can do it. The Democrats and their never Trump poodles have done enormous damage to these institutions and they will do it all again. They do not care. There should be, however, consequences where appropriate so that this never happens again. And that's the end.

“ALVIN BRAGG ENGAGING IN LAWFARE”
Video transcript
And I just don't feel comfortable acting like the creeps on the other side who hunt us for political reasons. Take, for example, this, in a secret recording for Steven Crowder's "Mug Club," a spokesman for the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office admits what we already knew. The hush money case against Trump was nothing more than Alvin Bragg engaging in lawfare to boost his own political image. Watch. - Those felonies did nothing to stop Trump from running. - No, in fact, they made him more relevant. - Did that backfire? - Sure did. - And those things is disgusting. They're just all together. - And that's why I like the surgery of the brothers. You know, it's a perversion of justice. - Why? - Because I think the case is not nuanced. Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who it was? - Thank God for the secret hidden vagina cam. (audience laughing) Now, that dude in the video told the New York Post, he said all of that in private to a stranger that he was trying to impress, which makes sense. It's the oldest trick in the book. If you want to get something from someone you just put on a thong and pretend you're interested. That's how I got this job. (audience laughing) But his confession is also true. We always knew this leftist law fair (beep) was real and it pisses all of us off and it should. But do we want to be like them, scumbags, who will imprison you for political purposes?

“LAWFARE INSTEAD OF A CAMPAIGN”
Video transcript
Joining me now is Jonathan Turley, George Washington University law prof, Fox News contributor. Professor Turley, we're going to get your reaction to that in a moment, but first I want to start with the big news of the day that Judge Juan Marshawn has moved Trump's sentencing in his hush money trial to after the election. Watch. The Manhattan D.A. witch hunt against me has been postponed because everyone realizes that there was no case because I did nothing wrong. It's a witch hunt. It's an attack by my political opponents in Washington D.C., Comrade, Kamala Harris, and radical left opponents. For purposes of election interference, that's all that was. Professor, your reaction to the news today, two different outcomes in the court, two different courts. Well, it was very surprising to see Judge Marshawn in this letter suddenly have this epiphany that there's an election going on, because he showed no sensitivity towards the election when he had, in my view, a radically overbroad gag order, and he kept the leading candidate for the presidency in his courtroom, and more importantly, he ruled rather one-sidedly throughout that trial. I was in that courtroom and I was shocked by many of his rulings. He now says, "Well, you know what, I don't want people to get the wrong impression, and so I'm going to sense him after the election. Judge Chutkin in D.C. is going to move the schedule until after the election as well. These are the two perceived most hostile judges to the former president, and the expectation is that if Trump loses the election, both of them are likely to throw him head first into a wood chipper. I mean, we're looking at November and December for these critical dates, and it's very clear that he's going to be called to account by both of these judges in a way that many are likely to have objections to, but that will come after the election. One thing that kept coming up today was that in these hearings, these pretrial hearings in the Chutkin case and the election interference case, new information, Politico described it as a potential October surprise, new affidavits, new information could come into play, could be entered into the record. Well, that in and of itself, the briefing schedule could affect the outcome of the election. It could, and Judge Chutkin has been controversial from the start because in an earlier case before the case against Trump was ever mounted, she suggested that Donald Trump should be in her courtroom answering for the January 6th riots, and that led many to suggest that she really should recuse herself. That's a very odd statement for a judge to make when someone later appears, as you suggested, in your courtroom. So, the controversy is likely to grow with this schedule, but much of the action is likely to occur after voters go to the polls. Karl Rove made a good point when we were on this morning and suggested that if Mershan was really going to send President Trump to jail or impose some draconian measure, he could very well have elected him president because in the past, President Trump has gone up in the polls when people watched what was happening in Manhattan. So for whatever his reason and delaying, the voters now are going to be pretty much the largest jury in history. What they decide on election day is likely to have a huge impact here. It could very well destroy the federal cases of Jack Smith. He would never see the inside of a courtroom, but also Mershan would be hard pressed to impose a jail term if this is the president-elect. So that election is going to be a very significant influence on what occurs in November and December. Well, if Trump wins, and this keeps going after the election, they just want to mock up his transition work. They will not leave this man alone. I'm sorry, but if he's president, then he's going to have to deal with this, at least for some period of time. That's why I think doing the motions work in October and in September, to me, that's more evidence that there's something else to foot here. Jonathan, your analysis, fantastic as always. Thank you.

….This travesty is now on Comrade Kamala Harris, who is actively pushing it, rather than immediately calling for its dismissal, as should be done. This is for Third World Countries and Banana Republics, not for the U.S.A.! As Jack Smith knows, the whole case should be thrown out and dismissed on Presidential Immunity grounds, as already ruled unequivocally by the U.S. Supreme Court. Smith rewrote the exact same case in an effort to circumvent the Supreme Court Decision. The people of our Country will see what is happening with all of these corrupt lawsuits against me, and will REJECT them by giving me an overwhelming Victory on November 5th for President of the United States….

Thank you to Boris Johnson! "This was a machine-gun mob-style hit job on Trump. It was nakedly political - and will make his victory more likely, not less.” “It was nakedly political. It was completely artificial. The Democrat prosecutors thought they were being so clever: tripping Trump up over this technicality – like collaring Al Capone for tax evasion, they probably told themselves. Except that everyone with any common sense can see what I consider their real motives, how they were combing the rule book for stuff to use against Trump.” “The vast mass of American voters could see what I believe was really happening: that the liberal elites were just appalled at Trump's continuing popularity and his ability to connect with voters – and they were using anything they could find to derail his campaign. That is why the anti-Trump lawfare is backfiring.”

Gregg Jarrett: “In the Age of Trump, decency is eclipsed by the political imperative of disabling Joe Biden’s opponent in the upcoming presidential election. Dictates of conscience are secondary to achieving the goal of wrongfully convicting an electoral enemy. Weaponization of the law or 'lawfare,' by any means, is now justified. It’s the popular currency among Biden Democrats. Abiding by the rule of law is a mere inconvenience, a pesky nuisance. It can be discarded like yesterday’s trash…That is exactly what Bragg has done. His case against the accused is beyond anemic. It is an audacious corruption of the legal process. To fulfill his campaign promise to put Trump behind bars, the D.A. orchestrated a phony case by manipulating an inapplicable and expired misdemeanor statute. Then, in a head-spinning pirouette, he usurped federal authority to enforce campaign laws that were never violated. Voilà! A criminal case. In name only.”

The choice to prosecute President Trump now, perhaps at the summit of his political clout, where most reputable polls have him trouncing Biden in the upcoming general election, just reeks of improprieties – and indeed, election interference – of the worst possible variety.”
