President Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to raise concerns about what he calls “lawfare” actions of a sitting president and their potential illegality.
This from newsmax.com.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
At what point are the actions of a sitting President, using LAWFARE against his opponent for purposes of Election Interference, considered ILLEGAL?
I believe, as do various highly respected legal scholars, that Crooked Joe Biden has long since crossed over that very sacred threshold!!!
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley recently voiced similar concerns in a televised interview, noting that:
[W]hile some New Yorkers enjoyed
the spectacle of indicting Trump,
critics saw it as a sign of a declining legal system.
Turley further expressed concern about the state of the legal system in New York City. He highlighted the city’s reputation as a premier corporate and business law hub and pointed out that this image was now under threat.
With New York Attorney General Letitia James pledging to target Trump, Turley argued:
[S]elective prosecution was at play.
Turley also highlighted how the “entertainment value” of these proceedings seemed to overshadow the overall “deterioration” of the legal system.
Turley said due to the “disassembling and devolving” legal system in New York:
[P]eople now view the city
as a place where doing business is risky.
He noted that the fear is being pulled into a political vortex that can influence how someone is treated legally.
Also, Uniparty machinations:
As recently explained on X there is ongoing Uniparty hijinks to try to keep Trump from resuming the presidency:
You might have heard that the Republicans are close to losing their lead in the House. This worry gets bigger with news that Congressman Mike Gallagher is stepping down on April 19. After he leaves, Republicans will barely have more members than [communists/globalists].
The following is how this may very well play out by the numbers:
-
There are 435 seats in the House of Representatives.
-
A party needs at least 218 members to control the House.
-
If there’s a tie, with each party having 217 members, and one person is independent (not in a big party), that independent person has a lot of power. So, what’s the situation in the House now?
-
Republicans currently have 219 seats.
-
Democrats have 213 seats.
-
When Ken Buck, a Republican, leaves his job on Friday, Republicans will have 218 members. After Gallagher leaves, they will have 217.
-
There’s going to be an election to fill a Democrat’s empty seat on April 30. This will likely add another Democrat to the House.
-
By the end of April, Republicans will have 217 members, and Democrats will have 214.
-
It seems like Republicans have a slight edge with three more members than Democrats. But, 217 plus 214 is 431, not the total 435.
-
This means about 217 votes are needed to get things done, showing how important it is for all Republicans to stick together.
-
Traditionally, a few Republicans don’t support their own party’s plans, which is a problem.
-
The bad news for Republicans is that Gallagher is leaving when it’s too late to have a quick vote to replace him. This means his seat will be empty, a loss for Republicans. According to Wisconsin law, if he resigns before the second Tuesday in April, a special election would be held to replace him and bring in another Republican from the Red District. If he resigns as planned, his seat will remain vacant until after the November elections.
-
The good news is there will be three special elections in May and June to fill some empty Republican seats, which might help them a bit.
-
But this help is only until June. If Republicans don’t stay united and even one or two members break away, Democrats could take over the House and pass a resolution barring Trump from the 2024 presidential election, determining that he is an insurrectionist. The resolution will pass in the Senate, where Democrats have a slim majority of 51-49.
Whatever it is, it’s not good. They are leaving the House with a majority of one.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to expel Rep. Gallagher so he can be replaced immediately. If he resigns before his term ends, he cannot be replaced until the election, leaving the majority in danger. She said every Republican leaving now is putting the majority in danger.
They should expel Gallagher so his constituency can vote for someone to take the seat quickly. She said his departure date is deliberate.
MTG wants Republican Mike Gallagher "expelled" from Congress after he announced he will resign early:
"What Mike Gallagher did yesterday was intentional, purposeful, and puts our entire majority at risk. I think he should be expelled.”pic.twitter.com/ZM9x7lc4Fj

A lot of people agree with MTG.
I'm guessing that Mike Gallagher is being paid handsomely by the Deep State Elites to hold off on leaving congress until April 19. This prevents the GOP from filling his seat until after November.
Mike Gallagher is a piece of shit. pic.twitter.com/gbf6oqEcyy

Final thoughts: These quitters are traitors to their constituents, the Republican Party, Conservatism, and America for the financial payout of 30 pieces of silver and/or a soon-to-be-announced position at CNN, NBC, Fox, or one of the other Never-Trump communist/globalist-colluding networks.
