To hear the establishment media tell it, President Donald Trump is a fascist dictator in the making, working day by day to destroy “our democracy” (spoiler alert: it’s a republic) by, among other things, targeting his political enemies in a personal vendetta. He’s bent, you see, on getting revenge for being prosecuted for his many crimes.
This scenario only makes sense if you believe that Trump was actually guilty of something. This in turn would involve believing that he colluded with Vladimir Putin in order to get into the White House in the first place, and that a few grannies taking selfies and a guy wearing Viking horns were about to overthrow the U.S. government on Jan. 6, 2021, and that changing laws in order to try a man on an unsupported thirty-year-old sexual abuse charge is perfectly on the up-and-up, as is elevating misdemeanors to felonies in order to be able to claim that the same man is a “convicted felon.”
Back in the real world, however, Trump was the target of highly partisan lawfare. Now, he is trying to bring some of the perpetrators of these monstrous abuses of our judicial system to justice themselves, and the left’s propaganda organs are, predictably, accusing him of what they are guilty of doing: politicizing the justice system in order to persecute his political opponents. Characteristically, however, Trump is not backing down.
On Friday, when many hysterical leftists were claiming that he was actually dead, Trump was asked in an interview about the Russian collusion hoax: “Do you think there are going to be arrests? Who do you think is going to be arrested, and how quickly?”
The president didn’t shy away from stating the facts that the establishment media is doing all it can to obscure, saying:
I don’t know if there’s going to be. There should be. What they did is a disgrace. They cheated, they lied, they did so many bad things, evil things that were so bad for the country, and because they did something to me that should have never been done, nobody thought they’d ever do that. Actually, when I left, nobody thought that would happen. They get – they just went crazy. They’re bad people. They’re sick people. They’re the ones that committed all the crimes. We didn’t commit crimes. They committed all the crimes, there should be, I can’t tell you whether or not because I really I don’t have to stay uninvolved. I’m allowed to stay involved, but I purposely don’t get involved. I can say that they should be arrested.
Trump was then asked: “So James Comey and John Brennan, would you be comfortable seeing them handcuffed and arrested live on TV?” He responded readily: “Would not bother me at all.” And indeed, it shouldn’t bother any patriot. Why should these men who conspired to discredit and destroy a duly elected president of the United States with false charges escape justice simply because they’re part of the entrenched leftist establishment?
Asked if he thought these arrests were a genuine possibility, Trump answered: “See, I wouldn’t have answered that question that way four years ago. Do you understand that? I wouldn’t.” He explained: “Because, well, Hillary’s a good example. We had Hillary cold. I didn’t want to see that. I didn’t want the, you know, the wife of a president, to go to jail, but she was stone cold guilty of things.” Trump’s magnanimity, however, was neither recognized nor reciprocated, and now the situation is vastly different.

And so Trump concluded: “No, if, depending on what they find, they’re guilty, they’re guilty. They’re bad people, and they are very, very sick people, beyond bad. They’re sick.” It’s Trumpian hyperbole, but it’s also one hundred percent correct. These arrogant leftists assumed that they knew better than the American people how the nation should be governed, and were so avid to remain in power that they were willing to try to frame the president of the United States for crimes he didn’t commit.
Really, why shouldn’t Comey and Brennan be in prison? The only real reason is that the political cost could be too high, in that the left still has so much control over the means of communication that they will redouble their efforts to portray Trump as a dangerous dictator if he dares try to bring them to justice. Yet that is all the more reason why, for the longterm health of our body politic, that justice is so urgently needed in this case.
