We always knew that the system is willing to do anything to get rid of Donald Trumpto whom all polls show the winner in a hypothetical electoral duel against Joe Bidenbut the scandalous use that the Administration of justice is making to achieve this is completely destroying the image of the United States as a State of Law.
And Trump has ended up exploding. The former president has demanded the immediate end of the various prosecutions he faces, alleging that they amount to electoral interference by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In a Truth Social post, President Trump said that as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential election, he should not be subject to “false prosecutions” ahead of the 2024 general election. “This is communism and a threat to democracy”declared President Trump.
Trump accuses the Justice Department of strategically orchestrating investigations to impede his political activities during the 2024 elections. “All political prosecutions against your favorite president, me, must cease immediately. We are in the middle of an election campaignperhaps the most important election in the history of our country, and those radical left-wing lunatic prosecutors and judges can’t do what they do,” President Trump said. «Why didn’t they start three years ago? Because they wanted to interfere in the 2024 presidential elections, that’s why!
The most likely Republican candidate uses the internal regulations of the Department of Justice, specifically Section 9-85,500, added in August 2022, which prohibits prosecutors and federal agents from planning judicial cases in a way that affects an election.
President Trump asserted that the DOJ’s actions violate this provision, which specifically prohibits actions that include “investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, intended to affect any election, or to give an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or politician.” .
«Such purpose is inconsistent with the mission of the Department and with the Principles of the Federal Public Ministry. Any action that may raise a problem or perceived problem under this provision requires consultation with the Public Integrity Section, and such action will not be taken if the Public Integrity Section advises that additional consultation with the Deputy Attorney General or the Attorney General,” the statute states.
Trump faces a whopping 91 charges in four criminal cases involving bribe payments to suppress testimony before the 2016 election, his attempts to challenge the 2020 election results and his handling of classified documents. This is in addition to civil cases involving his business. For Trump, all of them are politically motivated.
