If Vice President Kamala Harris is serious about her calls for unity, she should immediately call for her party and administration to end the lawfare prosecutions against President-Elect Donald Trump.

Democrats threw the kitchen sink at Trump to try and stop him from winning, including weaponizing the justice system to jail him. Harris’ own administration deployed its loyal foot soldiers to try and take down Trump.

But as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in a post on X, “The American people have spoken.”

“The lawfare must end. I call on Attorney General Garland, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis to immediately terminate the politically-motivated prosecutions of President Donald Trump,” Scalise said.

Merrick Garland’s Department Of Injustice

Under the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration, Attorney General Merrick Garland and his foot soldier Jack Smith indicted Trump twice on charges relating to alleged mishandling of classified documents and Trump’s questioning of the 2020 election administration.

While Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case after finding Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional, the case surrounding the 2020 election remains.

But it shouldn’t.

In July, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled 6-3 that presidents have “absolute immunity” for “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority” and “at least presumptive immunity” for all “official acts.” The high court remanded several questions pertaining to Smith’s lawfare case against Trump back to the lower court to determine whether the actions constituted an official act.

But the ruling from the Supreme Court was not enough to stop the Biden-Harris administration, which was hellbent on interfering in the election. After the court severely torpedoed his lawfare efforts, Smith filed a superseding indictment against Trump. Then, just weeks before Election Day, Trump-hating U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed a 165-page report filled with Smith’s attacks on Trump. But now that Trump beat the regime and is set to return to the White House in just a few short weeks, Smith’s team indicated on Wednesday that it would be looking for ways to withdraw the cases against Trump, The Hill reported.

Alvin Bragg

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg slapped Trump with 34 felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records relating to a nondisclosure agreement. The Federal Election Commission, the Department of Justice, and the Southern District of New York’s U.S. Attorney’s Office previously declined to take the case. Bragg conveniently brought the case after he hired Matthew Colangelo, who had been the no. 3 official in Biden’s Department of Justice.

Twelve jurors in Democrat-led New York City convicted Trump of an ambiguous crime no one seemed able to articulate.

But Bragg himself admitted his prosecution was lawfare, having said while campaigning for district attorney that he was the best candidate to go after Trump. Sentencing has been delayed until Nov. 26 — but Americans shouldn’t have to wait that long for real justice to be served.

Fani Willis

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis issued a 41-count indictment in August of 2023 against Trump and 18 co-defendants for allegedly violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) statute. Willis alleged the defendants solicited “false statements and writings” and committed a “violation of oath by public officer.”

Like the rest of the lawfare cases, Willis’ lawfare efforts are flimsy at best. Her entire trial has been marred by accusations of impropriety after she allegedly hired her lover, Nathan Wade, to serve as special prosecutor to run the prosecution. Trump and his co-defendants alleged Willis should be disqualified from prosecuting because she was benefiting financially from her lucrative relationship with Wade. Willis denied allegations that Wade was treating her to luxurious vacations he paid for with the money he earned from the lawfare prosecution.

A judge (who donated to Willis’ 2020 campaign) dismissed two counts against Trump in September in the case, arguing the allegations extended past the “State’s jurisdiction.” The judge had previously dismissed six other counts in the case (three of which were against Trump) in March.

Trump still faces eight charges.

If Democrats are sincere in their calls for “unity,” they must drop their lawfare prosecutions.
