If "traditional Catholics" are arrested every time they trespass during protests because they oppose abortion, but proabortion Handmaids are never arrested for the same exact transgressions, that is lawfare. Even though the charges themselves are not fraud.

I'd call this selective enforcement of the law. Lawfare to me involved the courts more than the police.

Is Bob Menendez and/or his wife a victim of lawfare? Rod Blagojevich? That weirdo bald tranny federal official who liked to steal luggage?


No. These people are criminals.

Prosecuting the lawyers who represented these criminals would be Lawfare.

Next you’re going to insist the pee dossier and subsequent witch hunts that stemmed from that narrative were totally legitimate and the pursuit was in the name of justice.

Perhaps it's any lawsuit or case against a party that relies upon fraudulent information AND has a party involved that would benefit from perpetrating the fraud on the court in order to punish a specific party.


So like the Russia collusion witch hunts?

Uh no. I was on record 8-ish years ago stating the opposite and my position never changed. As usual, I was right.

Okay, so you agree that the people intent on getting Trump will in fact lie and commit fraud in order to get Trump?

The Steele dossier and muh Russia was dishonest politicking, and the governmental spying on Trump relied on fraudulent evidence and more criminal prosecutions should have occurred.

If you want to call that lawfare, fine, but it's way too specific for a definition, for reasons I have already stated (and NC confirmed)

I don’t give a shite what you want to call it. The entire point is that the left will lie and fabricate evidence to get Trump for purely partisan reasons.

One example.

How many fraudulent lawsuits were filed on Trump's behalf after the 2020 election?

You do realize that having your political rival jailed and indicted is a form of lawfare?

It’s just not called lawfare in other countries.
It’s called a few things but not limited to the following: corruption, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, fall of republics etc.

Legitimacy has definitely re-entered the chat

What if your rival commits crimes after the election? Is he/she just immune now? For what time period? In perpetuity?

The best answer there are 2 factors for the current political situation:

Depends on who is committing the crime
Depends on the crime

This is not my view, this is the current view.


But if I were running, I would not seek to have charges placed due to the extremely shady appearance it brings, may backfire on you.

How about utilizing prudence and only charging someone for an actual crime where actual people were harmed. Not some made up novel bullshite.

You used to be the poster who warned about the judicial system being used against citizens and supposedly that was the thrust of your legal career. Were you a fraud then or a fraud now?

Nothing has changed.

I'm just not a hypocrite about it and I have no partisanship to lead that hypocrisy

There were multiple proceedings that stemmed from Muh collusion.

And the Ukraine phone call hoax

And the insurrection hoax

Don’t be a dishonest hack and pretend they haven’t been lying for years in an effort to get Trump

More of an interpretation issue (and I didn't agree with the interpretation leading to impeachment, just for the record) than fraud.

I don't believe there was an "insurrection" but there was a riot on January 6 and a LOT of criminal behaviors.

What fraud, though? There was clearly a riot and criminality. It's on video.

Nope. Nothing I have said stated about my own personal policy preferences agrees with that.
