Hours after the release of a grand jury indictment charging former President Donald Trump with “using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified,” the former president’s amen corner responded with a familiar refrain.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy denounced the Biden Administration’s “distraction from the news” and “two-tiered system of justice.” “When you drain the swamp, the swamp fights back,” declared Rep. Jim Jordan. “President Trump did nothing wrong.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis promised, if elected president, to end “the politicization of the rule of law” and “the weaponization of the federal government.”
DeSantis admitted he had not read the indictment. It’s a safe bet he is not the only MAGA Republican who prefers to keep his mind unsullied by facts.
That said, every American should read the 45 pages of the DOJ indictment. A primer on American law, the U.S. Constitution, and the Electoral College, the document presents detailed, credible and compelling evidence about the attempt by President Trump and six co-conspirators to overturn a free and fair election. Equally important, the indictment gives Americans an opportunity to judge for themselves whether or not prosecuting the former president is evidence of a witch hunt, two-tiered system of justice, or weaponized federal government.
