Blue State Blues: The Trump Indictment Is An Assault on Democracy

The indictment of former President Donald Trump on Thursday by a grand jury in Manhattan is an assault on democracy.

There is no evidence of a crime being committed in the Stormy Daniels affair; even if there were, the statute of limitations on the supposed charge has expired, and the state cannot evade it by inventing a federal crime. The indictment is simply an attempt to prevent the leading opposition candidate from contesting the 2024 election.

Worse, the indictment was purchased by notorious left-wing billionaire George Soros, who hates Trump and spent $1 million to elect Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

There is no more glaring abuse of the rule of law than to allow a wealthy patron of the ruling party to fund the prosecution of its political rival. It is a direct assault on democracy, a form of election interference that will destroy what is left of voters’ faith in democracy.

In the short term, the indictment will encourage conservative voters to rally around Trump. Assuming he can still campaign while on trial, or perhaps from state prison, he is now almost certain to win the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2024.
