By taking unprecedented steps to repeatedly prosecute former President Donald Trump, the Department of Justice (DOJ) stands as a prime example for why Washington, D.C., is known as “The Swamp.” These are non-elected personnel, acting with clear political bias, using U.S. law as a weapon. The only thing that rivals their level of bias against Trump is their lack of appetite to pursue Biden family indiscretions.
Every election cycle, Americans select their House, Senate, and Presidential representation. By executing their right to vote, the American people help keep checks and balances on the branches of government. But now we have the likes of… Jack Smith. Yes, Jack Smith.

Political weaponization of the law by the DOJ and prosecutors is exactly what blind lady justice should avoid.

Swamp” is to neutralize his Presidential candidacy.
