The Biden administration is employing a strategy known as “lawfare” to change the landscape of political campaigns. By utilizing federal government resources and taxpayer money, they are engaging in mudslinging tactics typically reserved for political campaigns. This tactic is detailed in a recent episode of The Drill Down, where hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers explore how the Biden administration is coordinating legal prosecutions against former President Donald Trump.
The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) created a timeline of events that exposes the White House’s involvement in these supposedly “independent” prosecutions. One example includes Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, who hired her boyfriend Nathan Wade (for $625,000) to handle Trump-related cases and had questionable interactions with the White House Counsel’s office. There are also instances of leaks to media outlets, such as the New York Times, showcasing Biden’s frustration with Attorney General Merrick Garland for not being aggressive enough towards Trump.
Additionally, key individuals from the Department of Justice have made notable moves to work on Trump-related cases, raising suspicions of direct input from the Biden administration. This coordinated effort, including legal proceedings that restrict Trump’s ability to campaign freely, is seen as a deliberate strategy to hinder his presidential aspirations and drain his resources.
The hosts of The Drill Down point out the irony of this situation, highlighting the contrast to Trump’s tenure as president when he did not initiate politically motivated prosecutions against his opponents. The use of lawfare and taxpayer-funded tactics to influence the political landscape reflects a concerning decline in government standards.
