With the former president facing 91 counts in courtrooms, and Democrats openly giddy about putting him in prison, Arizona's attorney general joined the legal pursuit last week. Kris Mayes oversaw the indictments of Trump aides and allies for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election with illegal state electors.
Trump is now an unindicted co-conspirator in Arizona, Mike Davis, the founder of the Article III Project, said on Washington Watch Monday.
“These are Republic-ending tactics,” Davis said.
The Article III Project is a conservative non-profit whose goal is constitutional judicial reform.
The New York trial accuses the former president of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, a former porn actress and former porn model.
Other legal cases still active are a civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Tish James; a classified documents case by Special Counsel Jack Smith; and alleged election interference in Georgia brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
According to Davis, is is obvious President Biden's "fingerprints" are on all four of those criminal prosecutions, which means the incumbent president is using the Justice Department to punish his political enemy.
“This is a criminal conspiracy against rights," Davis warned. "They are violating the civil rights of President Trump, his co-defendant Walt Nada, his 18 co-defendants in the Georgia case, and these defendants in Arizona."
The intent is obvious, Davis said, noting the parties waited 30 months to charge Trump, long enough to make sure he intended to run against Biden for a second White House term.
The timing of the cases shows clear intent to stack them one on top of another to prevent Trump from campaigning, Davis said.
Davis believes the ongoing New York case is the only one that will get to trial before Election Day on Nov. 5.
He predicts that by the end of June, Trump will get a favorable ruling in Fischer v. United States in which the government charges a Jan. 6 defendant with obstructing congressional proceedings, but it’s using statute that relates to paperwork and destruction of evidence.
“The Biden Justice Department contorted, politicized and weaponized a post-Enron obstruction of justice statute that relates to corporate fraud and weaponized it against political enemies, including President Trump and his supporters on Jan. 6,” Davis said.
That would cause two charges against Trump to be dropped or “severely curtailed,” Davis said.
Reacting to Supreme Court arguments last week, Davis also predicts the high court will rule that Trump and other presidents are immune from prosecution for their official acts but not personal acts.
“The bottom line is this dog of a case in New York may be the only case that gets to trail before the election,” Davis said.
After the election, bills will come due for the lawfare against Trump, Davis also predicted.
“The American people are going to put President Trump back in the White House," he predicted, and then come the "legal, political and financial consequences" for using lawfare to try to win re-election.
