Cannon Fodder: How Democrats Sacrificed Black Prosecutors in their Lawfare Campaign Against Donald Trump

“Cannon fodder” is a term used to describe combatants thought to be expendable. Those who send “cannon fodder” into battle have little regard for their well-being. A high casualty rate they see as the price to pay for accomplishing some strategic goal, in the case in question, the removal of Donald Trump from the battlefield.

The question needs to be asked, why did Democrat strategists push Black officials into the forefront of their lawfare campaign against Donald Trump? With the exception of Special Counsel Jack Smith, nearly every high-profile prosecution was spearheaded by Black attorneys, judges, and committee chairs like Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Tanya Chutkan, and Bennie Thompson. They became the public face of the campaign to “get Trump,” even as they bore the personal and professional risks of failure.

Make no mistake, Democrats intentionally used Black prosecutors because of their race. On the most basic level, Black prosecutors would have a stronger pull over Black jurors and White liberal jurors as well.

More critically, if these cases were criticized, party leaders could circle back with their common anti-Trump narrative and claim that the pushback was due to racism. The media would relish this narrative. As the election approached, this tactic would strengthen the bond between the Black community and the Democrats even if the cases against Trump should fail.

From a strategic perspective, Democrat party leaders believed the Trump prosecutions offered multiple advantages. Each indictment created headlines, keeping Trump’s alleged misconduct front and center while burying his policy arguments. They thought the prosecutions reinforced their portrayal of Trump as lawless, a framing that reenforced Joe Biden’s messaging about Trump being unfit for office and “a threat to democracy.”

That said, each prosecution was something of a trial ballon, floating novel legal theories on insurance fraud, campaign finance violations, racketeering, and federal obstruction. Democrats had to know how flimsy were their cases, and how vulnerable the prosecutors. They just did not seem to care.

Enter James, Bragg, Willis, Chutkan, and Thompson. These Black figures were thrust into the spotlight not merely as lawyers or investigators, but as political symbols. Democratic leaders surely understood the likely outcome, that these individuals would be intensely scrutinized, harassed, and possibly discredited if the prosecutions faltered. But from the perspective of the party’s political calculus, these Black figures were acceptable casualties.

Left-Wing Media Spreads Falsehoods About Trump’s New Election Integrity Watchdog

Election systems expert Heather Honey has been sworn in at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a deputy assistant secretary, leading elections integrity for the Trump Administration, and the left is losing its mind.

Honey, a long-time open-source investigator, has spent years analyzing every aspect of how elections are administered, looking for vulnerabilities that leave election systems open to exploitation. Her investigations have led to lawsuits aimed at changing or clarifying election laws in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Maine, and Tennessee, where she helped rewrite election legislation.

Honey was the lead investigator on President Trump’s criminal defense team supporting his Jan. 6 trial preparation.

Democrat operative Marc Elias, possibly the king of election lawfare, is so threatened by Honey’s new position that he has launched into hyperdrive attacking her on his far-left page, Democracy Docket, where one of his writers, Matt Cohen, has published an inaccurate hit piece smearing Honey.

The piece claims Honey “played a key role in the right-wing effort, much of it driven by conspiracy theories, to pressure states to withdraw from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) — a nonpartisan organization that helps to coordinate accurate voter registration data between states across the country.”  Wow. So many errors in just one sentence.

ERIC is a hard left organization that is wildly ineffective at cleaning the voter rolls, (which should be done by state or local election administrators anyway) and that assessment is based on real data, not conspiracy theories.

Cohen also originally claimed Honey used a “right-wing app” called “IV3” to clean voter rolls, and he connected the app to the Election Integrity Network. But IV3 is a True the Vote product and neither Honey nor the Election Integrity Network is affiliated with that group or app, confirmed Cleta Mitchell, an attorney and the founder of the Election Integrity Network. A day after the hit piece was published, at Mitchell’s request, Democracy Docket added a correction for this portion of the still error-riddled piece.

Elias went to social media this week to cast a shadow on Honey’s reputation, calling her an “election conspiracy theorist.” And the word in election circles is that a few more hit pieces are planned from other leftist groups who don’t want anyone to tinker with the election rules that have been quietly established by leftist bureaucrats in Washington over the years. For example, seemingly small decisions about what information belongs on the Federal Post Card Application could have profound effects on elections.

Unhinged Tim Walz Goes Berserk on Stage — Urges Democrats to Burn Flags with Trump’s Photo and Calls Trump a “Manchild” with “Fat Ankles”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz completely lost it during a speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) summer meeting in Minneapolis on Monday, lashing out at President Trump, mocking his supporters, and even encouraging Democrats to burn flags emblazoned with Trump’s image.

During his remarks, Walz sneered at Trump voters, mocking them as “stupid frickin’ red hat” people, before taking things to a disturbing new level: he encouraged Democrats nationwide to start burning flags with Trump’s picture on them.

Walz: Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican.

“Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid freaking red hat.”

“What should I say today? I don’t know. Just make sure it’s cruel.”

“Who do we listen to? That guy.”

“Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah, listen to him, and that will be fine.”

Now he’s talking about burning flags. He’s going to have flag burning or whatever, because he knows there’s a hell of a lot of flags with his picture on them that are going to get burned.

Court Orders Fani Willis to Provide New Information About Her Trump RICO Case and Collusion with Jack Smith

A Georgia state court ordered embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to provide more information about her RICO case against Trump and collusion with Jack Smith.

The Fulton County Superior Court last year found Fani Willis in default for refusing to hand over documents in an open records lawsuit.

Fani Willis refused to answer a public records lawsuit seeking records of her communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the January 6 Committee.

Last year, conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch asked the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia to declare a default judgment against Fani Willis after she refused to respond to its lawsuit related to communications she had with Jack Smith and the sham January 6 Committee.

In 2022, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan launched an investigation into whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated with federal officials during her years-long probe into Trump and his associates.

Chairman Jordan in his letter to Fani Willis requested all documents and communications between or among the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and DOJ and its components, including but not limited to the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith, referring or relating to your office’s investigation of President Donald Trump or any of the other eighteen individuals against whom charges were brought in the indictment.

In referring to Jim Jordan’s letter to Fani Willis, Judicial Watch filed a Georgia Open Records Act request seeking records of her communications with Jack Smith.

According to Judicial Watch: The court ordered Willis “to conduct a diligent search of her records for responsive materials within five business days of the entry of this Order. Within that same five day period, Defendant is ORDERED to provide Plaintiff with copies of all responsive records that are not legally exempted or excepted from disclosure.” [Emphasis in original] Willis’ office responded with zero non-public documents.

On Monday, the court ordered Fani Willis to provide new information about her search for records related to her anti-Trump lawfare and collusion with Jack Smith.

Muslim Socialist Senate Candidate Goes There When Talking About Trump and His Fans: “When They Go Low…We Take Them to the Mud and Choke Them Out!” 

One of the most radical Democratic candidates for office in America seemingly issued a call for violence against President Trump and his supporters yesterday.

As WMUK reported, Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) visited Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday as part of his “Fighting Oligarchy” speaking tour.

While there, Comrade Bernie was joined by Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim and fellow socialist.

While speaking at Western Michigan University’s Miller Auditorium before thousands of Bernie fans, El-Sayed bragged about his ability to supposedly challenge the establishments of both parties before his speech took a dark turn.

“We need Democrats who have the courage to stand up to the power brokers in our own party, let alone Trump and his goons,” El-Sayed said to wild applause. “We don’t back down.”

“When they go low, we don’t go high,” he added as the crowd continued to roar. “We take them to the mud and choke them out!”

Notice how the crowd never stops cheering throughout.

Mayor Johnson: The People of Chicago Will Rise Up Against Trump’s ‘Tyranny’

Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) said that if President Donald Trump sent the National Guard to his city, the people would rise up against “tyranny.”

Co-host Jonathan Capehart said, “I just want to get your reaction to another thing in The Washington Post story I’m reading directly here. It says the use of thousands of active duty troops in Chicago also has been discussed, but is considered less likely at this time. We saw him do that with active duty Marines on the streets of Los Angeles. What would the reaction be in Chicago if the President of the United States does indeed put active duty military on the streets of Chicago?”

Johnson said, “Well, again, you know, the city of Chicago does not need a military occupied state that that is that’s not who we are. I commend the work of Mayor Bass, my colleague, and and, you know, all the folks in Los Angeles who stood up and fought, you know, against this, you know, authoritarianism. Here’s the bottom line. they don’t have police power. There’s nothing they can do. you know, these are federal troops, they do not go through the training that our police officers go through. So they cannot even enact police authority.”

CNN Continues to Beclown Themselves in Their Ongoing Quest to ‘Get’ Trump

For a decade now, people in media have been trying to ‘get’ Trump, especially the folks at CNN. It never works and they end up looking like fools, yet they keep repeating the effort as if they’re stuck in a loop.

One recent example came this week when one of their correspondents feigned surprise over Trump calling himself the country’s chief law enforcement officer. She acted shocked as she revealed this on the air.

You could certainly be forgiven for arguing that the Attorney General is the chief law enforcement officer in the land, but the Constitution is pretty explicit about the president’s role.

Take a look at the clip below, and note that the person sharing it is the current Assistant White House Comms Director.

Never Trumpers Who Cheered Mar-A-Lago Raid Melt Down At Search Of Bolton’s House

The FBI searched the home of former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton on Friday, reportedly in relation to Bolton’s alleged possession of classified documents. Unsurprisingly, the same people who had no problem when the FBI raided the home of President Donald Trump are melting down.

Olivia Troye, former Homeland Security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, said on X that the search is an example of “authoritarianism.”

“When Kash Patel turns the FBI into Trump’s revenge squad, that’s not justice, it’s authoritarianism. Today it’s John Bolton. Tomorrow it could be any other critic who dares defy Trump. The Bureau’s credibility is being gutted from within. This is intimidation, not law enforcement. Every American should be alarmed.”

Troye, of course, had no grave concerns about “authoritarianism” after the August 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid when she jumped on CNN to speculate that Trump had mishandled secret documents and was in “bed” with “foreign adversaries.”

Former NBC host Chuck Todd said on X: “The senators who were bullied into confirming Kash Patel, how are you feeling today? It’s not like you weren’t warned that this guy would be comfortable politicizing the agency. Trump couldn’t have done this without the weak senate GOP enabling.”

Todd is the same person who, after the raid of Mar-a-Lago, said Republicans unifying around Trump were merely “under[cutting] faith in institutions.” Todd (along with three other NBC writers), told readers to “remember” that the FBI would only conduct a search with a “warrant” showing “probable cause” and therefore, Republicans should have preached “calm, or even measured caution” instead of reacting to the raid.

Rolling Stone’s Asawin Suebsaeng said on Bluesky: “You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.” Suebsaeng wrote in an article that it doesn’t matter what Bolton “does or doesn’t have,” calling it “irrelevant to what’s going on here: An openly lawless administration and Republican Party that pretends to hate the ‘Deep State’ is merely expanding it.”

But that’s not the same approach Suebsaeng took when covering the Biden Department of Justice’s unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid.

Shocking NEW Documents Expose Multi-Front Effort To Protect Clintons While Framing Trump

Newly unearthed documents show deep state government actors once again circling the wagons to protect Bill and Hillary Clinton — and suppressing evidence that implicated them. Last week it was the FBI, this week it is the IRS.

In 2019, the IRS Criminal Investigations Division quietly launched a probe into the Clinton Foundation’s tax practices, working closely with whistleblowers John Moynihan and Larry Doyle, financial experts who had compiled thousands of pages of evidence.

According to internal agency memos reported by Just the News, IRS agents reviewed the evidence and at least one agent concluded it meant that the “entire [Clinton Foundation] enterprise is a fraud.” Agents then moved to treat the whistleblowers as cooperating witnesses and even set up secure computer servers to hold the material they had collected.

Then, without warning, the lights went out. “Can’t talk about the CF,” agents told the whistleblowers. By the summer of 2019, their inquiry was dead. Moynihan and Doyle are now battling the agency in Tax Court over the apparent shutdown of the investigation.

The IRS’s abrupt reversal follows an earlier, more infamous pattern. In 2016, FBI field offices in New York, Washington, and Little Rock all opened probes into the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation, partly on the strength of Peter Schweizer’s 2015 bestselling book, Clinton Cash, which exposed numerous examples of the Clintons using the foundation while she served as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama as a pay-to-play scheme for business and foreign government interests seeking political influence.

The judge has a little explaining to do

It finally happened.  Sensible New Yorkers have come to terms with the damage that “getting Trump” has done to their image as a place to invest money.  After all, why would any investor or business owner want to operate in a state where a “fraud” case can be invented against you?  I have a feeling that a lot of people with wealth in New York started making plans to pack up to Florida or elsewhere.  You can’t blame them for saying:  “They ‘got’ Trump, I’m next.”  Last, but not least, who remembers Kevin O’Leary telling a CNN host:  “What fraud? This is not about Trump anymore”?

As always, we check with Professor Jonathan Turley for some perspective:

For some of us who covered that trial, the most vivid image of Engoron came at the start. He indicated that he did not want cameras in the courtroom, but when the networks showed up, Engoron took off his glasses and seemed to pose for the cameras.

It was a ‘Sunset Boulevard’ moment. We only need Gloria Swanson looking into the camera to speak to ‘those wonderful people out there in the dark!’ and announcing ‘all right, [Ms. James], I’m ready for my close-up.’

The close-up was not a good idea, and, on appeal, it was perfectly disastrous. The court found little legal or factual basis for his fine. The purported witnesses not only did not lose a dime, but they testified that they made money on the loans and wanted new loans with the Trump administration. That did not move Engoron. From the start, he was speaking to those ‘wonderful people out there.’

You did not have to go far. In both the civil and criminal trials of Trump in New York, there was a carnival atmosphere in the street outside the courthouse. It was really not derangement as much as delirium. Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James had injected lawfare directly into the veins of New Yorkers. Pledging in her campaign to bag Trump (without bothering to name any crime or violation), James was elected based on her recreational rather than legal appeal.

Yet, James could not have succeeded if she had not had a judge willing to ignore reality and cook the books on the fines. She needed a partner in lawfare. She needed Engoron.

Even for some anti-Trump commentators, the judgment was impossible to defend, and some acknowledged that they had never seen any case like this one brought in New York.

Yes, no one had seen justice like that before.  Why?  Because there was no justice here.  It was using the legal system to get Trump, or something that our judicial system was not supposed to do.
