Political Prosecution: A Constitutional Crisis In The Making
By Glenn Spitzer
The sustained government attacks against Donald Trump have implications that extend far beyond his presidential campaign. They present a serious constitutional crisis that has the potential to destroy America.
On August 1, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Donald Trump’s legal bills are consuming his campaign coffers. The article contained a graph showing the rising legal expenses relative to non-legal expenses for Trump’s “Save America” Political Action Committee. These numbers are troubling.
By the end of 2022, Trump’s legal expenses had consumed half of the PAC’s campaign spending. By the first quarter 2023, they had consumed nearly 90% of the spending and, by the second quarter 2023, they had exceeded 90% of total spending.
This raises serious questions about election interference. We tend to think of election interference as a fraudulent or nefarious activity directly connected to the election itself, whether by manipulating voting machines, ballot harvesting, paying for votes, registering votes from incompetent or non-existent people, voter intimidation, vote-count manipulation, etc. But in the United States, we overlook the most obvious form of election interference that’s common throughout the world and throughout history: political prosecution.
