All five criminal and civil indictments against former President Donald Trump have prompted fierce denials by Democrats that President Joe Biden and Democratic operatives were not involved in any of the charges.
But Biden has long made it clear he is frustrated with federal prosecutors at his own Justice Department for delaying the prosecution of Trump.
Biden was outraged that any delay could prevent his rival Trump from appearing in federal court during the 2024 election.
And that means that while he will be barred from the campaign trail, he will not be labeled a “convicted felon” until the November election.
Politico has long prided itself on having inside information about the workings of the Biden administration. In February of this year, the paper reported that a disgruntled Joe Biden had ” [Attorney General Merrick] Had Garland moved earlier in the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s election interference, the trial might already be underway or even completed.”
If there was any doubt that the Biden administration was trying to drag Trump to court before November, Politico dispelled it: While the paper blamed Biden’s anger at Garland on Trump, it said, “The trial could take place before the election, and much of the delay is due to deliberate resistance from the former president and his team, not Garland.”
Note, too, that Politico has denigrated as “willful defiance” the legal right of presidential candidates to fight political indictments by their opponents’ federal prosecutors months before the election.
Given that Politico had publicly reported six months ago that President Biden was infuriated by the pace of the Justice Department’s prosecution of Trump, is there anyone who believes that President Biden’s special counsel, Jack Smith, was unaware of such presidential dissatisfaction and pressure?
Nott-Smith filed an unusual petition with the court to expedite the indictment of Trump, but it was denied.
And why would Garland, Biden’s own attorney general, choose an obvious partisan like Smith?
Recall that during his final term as special counsel, Smith attacked Virginia Governor Bob McDonald, a conservative Republican.
However, Smith’s political persecution of the innocent McDonnell was overturned by a unanimous decision of the US Supreme Court.
The rare unanimous court decision would normally have sent a warning to the Biden Justice Department about Smith’s favoritism and incompetence.
However, Smith’s wife donated to Biden’s 2020 campaign fund.
She was previously known for producing the biographical 2020 documentary, Becoming, about Michelle Obama.
The Justice Department’s reason for appointing Smith was clearly not to select a special counsel with a past record of nonpartisan convictions.
The White House’s involvement goes beyond U.S. Attorney Smith’s indictment.
Nathan Wade, the lover of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and once the lead prosecutor in the prosecution against Trump, has met twice with the White House Counsel’s office.
At one point, Wade met with Biden inside the White House.
Subpoenaed records reveal that the brazen Wade did in fact bill the federal government for time spent with White House counsel staff, though so far no one has disclosed the content of those meetings under oath.
Of the tens of thousands of local prosecutions filed each year, how many involve county prosecutors consulting the White House Counsel’s office and charging a fee for its knowledge?
The felony convictions recently brought against Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg were spearheaded by prominent former federal prosecutor Matthew Colangelo.
Not only is Colangelo a well-known Democratic supporter who served as a political adviser to the Democratic National Committee, but he had recently left his job at Biden’s Justice Department (where he was reportedly Garland’s No. 3 prosecutor) to join the local Bragg team.
Then again, with the many local prosecutions that occur annually across the country, how many local prosecutors can afford to hire one of the top three federal prosecutors in the country to work their case?
So it seems that campaigning on a blatant promise to go after Trump wasn’t enough for the shameless Bragg.
Moreover, Bragg recklessly tapped top Democratic officials and political appointees from within Joe Biden’s Justice Department to lead his prosecutions.
Not surprisingly, just hours after Trump was convicted in the Colangelo-Bragg trial, Biden began blasting his rival as a “convicted felon.”
Biden is pleased that his former prosecutor, a left-leaning judge and a Manhattan jury may be able to keep Trump away from the campaign trail.
So it’s time for the media and Democrats to stop this ridiculous ploy of Biden White House “neutrality.”
Instead, they should admit that they fear the will of the people in November and are plotting to silence it.
