We now have a roadmap for convicting your political opposition in court. First, locate a state under the control of your party. Then, find the counties where nine out of ten voted your way. Choose the one where the county attorney is determined to get the other side. Charge your opponent with a felony. If t you can’t readily find a crme, put some stuff together that appears it might add up to a felony. Top it off by assigning the case to a judge on record of supporting your side and against the opposition.

With the judge in the prosecutor’s corner, there is no need for the niceties of due process, such as informing the defendant of the nature of the charges. If you can get some unrelated salacious details to embarrass the defendant, so much the better. Make sure you have some lawyers on the jury. The other jurors will look to them for guidance—people who make their living before judges with our party label aren’t about chance an acquittal. Everyone, including judges, will know how they voted. The rest of the jury may feel similar pressure from friends, family, and employers. Bingo, you have your conviction.

Overturning the conviction may eventually occur, but that will probably be well after we win the election. Remember the Ted Stevens case. Vindicated after finding breathtaking prosecutorial misconduct, unfortunately, as a convicted felon, he lost re-election. With his loss, the Democrats had a Senate majority and passed Obamacare. Wiping his record clean occurred only after the release of the Schuelke report but only after damage. The lesson is that even if we lose on appeal, we’ll already win the prize.  

The problem with this unethical recipe is both sides can use it. A county prosecutor in a Red state gets a grand jury to indict a state resident who is one of the fifty-one retired intelligence officials signing the letter claiming the Hunter Biden Laptop was likely Russian disinformation—the charge of conspiring with others to deny the state’s voters vital information fraudulently.

The other signers, Anthony Blinkin, who originated the plot, and his boss, Joe Biden, are also indicted as co-conspirators. While state election law may or may not be a felony, linking it to a fraudulent conspiracy will do the job. Indict anybody else found having a hand in the fraud, too, including government agents, such as the FBI, who pressured the media to suppress the story.

Including underlings, this large cast may contain some willing to turn state’s evidence to save themselves or their money. This case keeps getting better.

Of course, the best thing the prosecutor has is the fact the laptop was always genuine and contained damning information about the Biden Clan. The FBI had it long before the 2020 election but still led the media in the opposite direction. Ironically, the same FBI just testified to the laptop’s validity in the Hunter Biden gun case.

This case is much more solid than the trailblazing one Alvin Bragg brought to New York City. Ultimately, it depended on an implied violation of federal election law to become a felony, as the paperwork and state election law violations entailed could only result in misdemeanors and were past the statute of limitations. Only by contorting the law to a claim that the defendant deprived the public of critical information needed for a fair election could it become a felony.

Given the public awareness of Donald Trump’s long history of romantic peccadillos, it’s questionable whether an affair with a porn star would’ve made an election difference. With the laptop case, polls attest to voter decisions being affected. With a difference of 40,000 votes in the swing states determining the 2020 outcome, the validity and contents were crucial information to a fair result.

This turnabout-is-fairplay case might discourage the roadmap’s use in the future. With the laptop’s cast of characters, it would be riveting. The problem is in the timing. As with the Stevens case, appeals and reversals may go far beyond elections. Consider Trump losing narrowly again, and polls show he would’ve won if he wasn’t a convicted felon. This circumstance would tear the country apart.

We could avoid this dire outcome if the Supreme Court did its job of ensuring the defendants receive the due process the Constitution guarantees and adjudicating federal laws in federal courts before the election is over.

Gore v. Bush is the precedent to follow. In that case, the Florida Supreme Court only allowed a recount in the counties favorable to Gore, which would’ve deprived George Bush of due process and likely the election. The Supreme Court intervened, and Bush’s narrow lead prevailed. Timely action averted a greater crisis.

In the New York case, the primary appeal issues are federal. Right from the start and extending almost to the end of the trial, the prosecution never told Trump the nature of the charges against him, in contravention of the Sixth Amendment. Even now, I can’t find anybody to explain the charges resulting in conviction. Most allude to covering up violations of election law, but the only election Trump ran in was Federal. State courts have nothing to do with Federal election law. There are Fifth Amendment due process questions on the handling of witnesses.

Why wait for New York courts to act if the primary questions do not concern state law? Ultimately, it’s up to the Supreme Court to decide, so act before actual harm.

If the High Court fails to act now, pressing the laptop conspiracy to defraud voters is the best bet to deal pain to those who brought about the travesty of Bragg’s New York case. One way or the other, we must stop this political “lawfare” before it destroys the nation.
