D.C. insiders may find themselves caught in the trap they set for J6ers
By Andrea Widburg
Although Democrats were initially stunned by Trump’s unbelievable flurry of executive orders, they soon regained their footing and began to fight back via lawfare. Forum shopping has put them in friendly courts, where leftist and NeverTrump judges have done their best to stop Trump from firing employees, investigating bureaucratic cash flows, and shutting down departments.
However, as we constitutional conservatives know, these efforts will ultimately fail. Under the Constitution, the Executive branch has the power to do all these things, and DOGE is the perfect vehicle to do it—especially since it’s a legitimate reconfiguring of an Obama-era program.
If the left’s current wave of lawfare is manifestly illegitimate, why is it bothering? Well...it’s all about buying time. However, in a delicious irony, some of them may opening themselves up to 20-year prison sentences under 18 U.S.C. § 1512, the same statute that the DOJ abused to imprison January 6 defendants.
We know that the D.C. Swamp rats are very worried because they’ve seemingly started lawyering up like mad:
Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies.
Earlier this week, internet search trends for "Criminal Defense Lawyer" and "RICO Laws" went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington's political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE's efforts to neuter USAID's funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.
