Former President Donald Trump is again tearing into the Deep State DOJ with a vengeance, using his personal experience with the jackbooted thugs in windbreakers (the FBI) to show how the judicial bureaucracy has been weaponized against conservatives from the day he went down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, if not earlier.
He did so in the form of a no-holds-barred, three-part post on Truth Social in which he ripped into Jack Smith, the Special Prosecutor assigned to look into Trump, and connected Smith’s appointment to the position to the rest of the weaponization of the DOJ against conservatives. In his words:
Page 1. The Special “Prosecutor” assigned to the “get Trump case,” Jack Smith(?), is a Trump Hating THUG whose wife is a serial and open Trump Hater, whose friends & other family members are even worse, and as a prosecutor in Europe, according to Ric Grenell, put a high government official in prison because he was a Trump positive person. Smith is known as “an unfair Savage,” & is best friends with the craziest Trump haters, including Lisa Monaco who runs “Injustice.” The Boxes Scam is a HOAX…
Page 2. For seven years, from the day I came down the escalator in Trump Tower, the Democrat Party has WEAPONIZED the “Legal” System, using City, State, and Federal Law Enforcement against me and the Republican Party as though they were a Private Protection Agency. The greatest Witch Hunt in American History must end now. I beat the Fake Impeachments, the disgraceful Mueller Persecution, and much else that the Fake News doesn’t want to write or talk about, but this charade MUST STOP NOW!!!
Page 3. Fire a man who may very well turn out to be a criminal, Jack Smith. His conflicts, unfairness, and mental state of derangement make him totally unfit for the job of “getting Trump.” Go after Biden and the Biden Crime Family instead. Like Bill Barr, the U.S. Attorneys in Delaware and Illinois are weak, ineffective, and afraid to do what must be done. The Election was RIGGED, and we are now losing our Country. We can’t let that happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Trump’s use of the term “weaponization” was likely intentional, as the GOP recently created a Select Subcommittee that is meant to look into the weaponization of the government and will be chaired by Trump ally and committed conservative Rep. Jim Jordan.
In using the term, Trump could have been indicating that he wants Rep. Jordan and the Select Subcommittee to dig into his persecution at the hands of the DOJ.
Further, by drawing attention to his case and connecting it to the other government abuses that the Select Subcommittee will be looking into, Trump is casting preemptive aspersions on whatever Smith and the DOJ claim to find and then try to rake him over the coals for.
