The most startling aspect of the recent Trump indictment has nothing to do with the indictment itself. Rather, it is the fact that Joe Biden has committed exactly the same offense and has not received a similar treatment. Indeed, Biden’s offense is far worse. He was not president when he removed the documents, and had no ability to declassify them. Further, unlike the relatively secure confines of Mar-a-Lago, he stored sensitive materials in a location open to China, further adding to the growing body of evidence that Biden received payment from Beijing to influence policy.
The evidence is now undeniable and clear. The machinery of the federal government has been hijacked for partisan political purposes by Democrats. The leaders of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI are not elected officials. They are answerable to them. They have done everything possible to stonewall investigations embarrassing to Democrats.
The DOJ as well as its subdivision the Federal Bureau of Investigation, now operates in part as a wing of the Democratic Party. The refusal to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her wanton destruction of federal evidence, the lack of interest in Biden influence peddling, ignoring Senator Schumer’s threats against justices of the United States Supreme Court (as well as the reluctance to provide adequate protection to physically threatened conservative justices), the bizarre tarmac meeting between then-attorney general Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton regarding the Hillary misdeeds, the extreme measures taken against Trump campaign officials, and more are all overt hits against the concept of an impartial DOJ.
That is just one part of the federal government. While in her position, the Internal Revenue Service’s former Lois Lerner used her office to discriminate and discourage conservatives. Because of DOJ’s lack of interest, the matter was eventually settled in a civil law suit by discouraged victims.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all has been the disclosures from the Durham investigation. The FBI, along with other intelligence agencies, conspired to establish a false charge of “Russian Collusion” against the Trump campaign, virtually tearing the nation apart. Further, government officials pressured legacy and social medial sources to censor news that would be embarrassing to the Democratic presidential candidate and to plant false stories about the Republican incumbent.
Whenever these issues are brought up by those outraged by this unlawful behavior, the matter is deflected by criticism of Trump. Depending on your taste, the prior chief executive might be an outstanding former president or the worse person to ever hold the office. Neither choice is relevant. The insertion of federal agencies in a partisan election to favor one side and produce false narratives and pressure independent media sources to go along with the conspiracy against the other is the most heinous political crime ever committed by appointed officials.
Further, it may well be the most dangerous. Ignoring Biden’s dirty deals with China is a national security risk of the highest magnitude. The only comparable act is the attempted sellout of West Point to the British by Benedict Arnold.
Trump is not the only target. The highly partisan Department of Homeland Security has targeted lesser political opponents as well. The Obama Administration called American military veterans returning from deployment in the Middle East one of the most domestic terrorist threats. The Biden Administration considers parents who disagree with explicit sexual indoctrination of very young children to be domestic terrorists.
Official misconduct at the highest levels is matched by the growing use of violence by the Democrat-sympathizing left against those they disagree with. The recent physical attacks by Antifa against protesting parents is a salient example.
Appointed elected officials and the agencies they administer must return to a tradition of relative nonpartisanship and equal treatment of all under the law. Elected leaders who influence them to be partisan should be punished.
