The role of a prosecuting attorney is essential in protecting the inherent freedoms and rights granted to all Americans. Every individual deserves protection from criminal acts, and prosecutors play a vital role in ensuring justice, working hand-in-hand with sheriffs and police officers. When crimes go unpunished, regardless of the victim's race or socioeconomic status, our true freedom is compromised.
Prosecutors should not use their power to interfere in elections by prosecuting a political opponent solely because of political disagreement. Yet that seems to be exactly what prosecutors in New York, Georgia, and Washington, D.C., are doing – weaponizing their authority against former President Trump based on ideological differences.
In one New York prosecution, it appears there's no identifiable victim of the alleged "crime" being pursued. The lenders were repaid on time, with interest, and none voiced complaints against the defendant, former President Trump. In another scenario, a prior prosecutor determined that prosecution wasn't warranted. Nonetheless, charges were later initiated, seemingly to obstruct Trump's potential candidacy success.
Other recent prosecutions, such as those in Georgia and Washington, appear to have been initiated against Trump and other individuals for exercising their free speech rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
All these prosecutions apparently aim to embroil Trump in legal battles which could potentially pose a threat to his freedom, seeking to hinder his ability to campaign for any future elected office. The interesting thing is that Trump's popularity seems to grow with each attack.
A similar motive was apparent in the baseless efforts by Colorado and other states to exclude Trump's name from their ballots, a move rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court. This decision ensures that voters retain the freedom to exercise their own choices.
These actions are especially troubling, particularly as the U.S. House of Representatives investigates additional cases of political misuse of federal government authority against American citizens who attended the Jan 6th event at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
When a prosecutor uses their powers to attack a political opponent and meddle with an election, it not only harms those who elected the prosecutor and those for whom the prosecutor was appointed, but it also affects people in other states, including Alabama. This type of unethical prosecution limits the electoral choices of Alabamians and is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
The act of weaponizing a prosecutor's authority against Trump – which I believe is being orchestrated by prosecutors funded by George Soros – is not only a threat to the integrity of the legal system but also undermines public trust in the fairness and impartiality of justice. It can result in the politicization of law enforcement, where prosecutions are pursued not based on evidence and law, but on political agendas and personal vendettas. This misuse of power poses a significant threat to the principles of a Constitutional Republic and the rule of law, weakening the foundations of our society.
