If Vice President Kamala Harris is serious about her calls for unity, she should immediately call for her party and administration to end the lawfare prosecutions against President-Elect Donald Trump.
Democrats threw the kitchen sink at Trump to try and stop him from winning, including weaponizing the justice system to jail him. Harris’ own administration deployed its loyal foot soldiers to try and take down Trump.
But as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a post on X, “The American people have spoken.”
“The lawfare must end. I call on Attorney General Garland, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis to immediately terminate the politically-motivated prosecutions of President Donald Trump,” Scalise said.
Merrick Garland’s Department Of Injustice
Under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration, Attorney General Merrick Garland and his foot soldier Jack Smith indicted Trump twice on charges relating to alleged mishandling of classified documents and Trump’s questioning of the 2020 election administration.
While Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case after finding Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional, the case surrounding the 2020 election remains.
But it shouldn’t.
In July, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled 6-3 that presidents have “absolute immunity” for “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority” and “at least presumptive immunity” for all “official acts.” The high court remanded several questions pertaining to Smith’s lawfare case against Trump back to the lower court to determine whether the actions constituted an official act.
But the ruling from the Supreme Court was not enough
