A MAJOR WIN AS TRUMP SEEKS TO UNDO LAWFARE’S DAMAGE. Things happen quickly in the second Trump administration, and the political world is buzzing about the FBI raid on the Bethesda, Maryland, home of former national security adviser John Bolton. But let’s wait a while to learn more about what is going on. Right now, it’s important not to miss a major development in the Democratic lawfare against Trump that dominated the time between his first and second terms.

The lawfare campaign, involving criminal charges and civil lawsuits, was launched by elected Democratic prosecutors in Manhattan, New York State, and Georgia, as well as by appointees of the Biden administration in Washington. (In Colorado and other states, elected Democrats tried to disqualify Trump for office under the 14th Amendment.) The actions sought to 1) put Trump in prison; 2) otherwise make it impossible for him to run for, or serve, as president; and/or 3) destroy his business empire.
