In these instances did the sitting POTUS use his and the power of the federal government to unleash criminal lawfare against the candidate leading in the battle to unseat him? No, not even close ----- so spare me your vacuous straw man fallacy.
To the contrary,
@Right_in_Virginia , in BOTH cases power players in the houses of government plotted lawfare and promoted propaganda to the press to influence the outcome of elections. The linkage is unmistakable, and it's the same damn thing. To argue otherwise would be to deny co-equal branches of government. The government, at several levels, and the press, concocted an absolutely false narrative - entirely made up - that cost those men their careers
And as I recall, at least with Moore, you and I were at war, and you were hawking the company line.
The only danger here @roamer_1 is so many "principled conservatives" all across legacy and social media are embracing criminal lawfare unleased by the whole of the federal government to accomplish for them what they cannot accomplish for themselves at the primary ballot box ---- willingly and knowingly shredding the Constitution of the United States and our foundation on the rule of law in the process.
LOL! Oh the drama! I have embraced nothing. In fact, I am pointedly on the record calling it bullcrap. That I am not all verklempt about it is only because I have seen it before, time and again, at ALL levels of government, to include Delay and Moore - direct examples. I am standing directly on principle on the matter.
The gist of what's left of your complaint can only be a vapid expectation that the ordeal should somehow swing my support to Tumpy and in doing so, forego the principles of libertarianism and fiscal conservatism which he so egregiously trespassed... To support big government on the right, in short.
That is not forthcoming, nor will it ever be, because:
Firstly, Tumpy is a big boy and can fight this on his own. It is a battle in court, and whether under the color of law or not, will only be resolved in court. My support means absolutely nothing in effecting that... Even though I have predicted that he will eventually skate on all charges.
And secondly, it is not a Constitutional crisis or anything like it... It is a well-worn political device. Charges have been brought. The only course is for him to meet those charges, beat those charges, and see it through.
That's all there is, short of massive rejiggering of the system, which I certainly DO support (though not through the likes of Tumpy and Co.), or through a massive overturning of the political norm - Also happy to fight for that, though again, not through the proven failure of Tumpy and Co.
The next time you ask me why I think "principled conservatives" are toxic to rational American voters, know this is on the list ---- and that you have yourself to thank.
Noted and dismissed with a waive of the hand. Nonsensical... I stand upon all of history in my principles. If that is what is toxic, then there is no hope at all.
