The fourth indictment against Donald Trump is what I like to call ‘Woke bigotry weaponising bankruptcy’.
Of the people sucked into ‘get Trump at all costs 4.0’, the majority may struggle to cover the exorbitant legal fees for their defence.
Dubbed ‘co-conspirators’, the group of former Trump administration employees will have to defend themselves against (Democrat-funded) claims they allegedly sought to overturn Biden’s election win.
With three indictments already weighing him down, the former President faces a possible political ‘death sentence’ (aka lengthy jail time) if convicted.
Those who sought answers about the sudden midnight spike in votes during the presidential election, which favoured Joe Biden, have also been thrown on the political pyre.
By all appearances, this new indictment is being seen by some commentators as an attempt to crush political opponents rather than balancing the scales of justice. (See James Lindsay’s, well-reasoned, lengthy argument here.)
Forcing opponents into bankruptcy and burying them in the world of personal strife that goes with it, in my view, seems to be the end goal.
Former Assistant Health Secretary for the Trump administration, Michael Caputo, said about as much, writing:
‘I spent $300K+ on lawyers in the Clinton Russia Hoax. I was just a witness.’
‘These 18 additional targets in the GA indictment are in for far more legal expenses. They’ll lose their homes, pull their kids out of schools, delay medical care.’
According to MSN, Caputo had to use his kid’s college funds to fight ‘the House Intelligence Committee’s probe into [now proven to be fake] Russian interference in the 2016 election’.
Among those targeted by the Georgia indictment is former New York City Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani. He’s facing the same number of charges as Trump.
It seems the political left wants Giuliani gone.
On X he fired back, ‘This indictment is an affront to American Democracy and does permanent, irrevocable harm to our justice system. It’s just the next chapter in a book of lies with the purpose of framing President Donald Trump and anyone willing to take on the ruling regime.’
They lied about Russian collusion, they lied about Joe Biden's foreign bribery scheme, and they lied about Hunter Biden's laptop hard drive proving 30 years of criminal activity.
They're lying again.#AmericasMayorLive ?? https://t.co/ds8QEQ50Yt

Miranda Devine’s astute response described the hero 9/11 mayor’s financial situation as dire.
‘The mayor who saved NYC, is drowning in legal debt,’ she explained on X.
‘He’s spent millions defending against a bogus FBI investigation, Jack Smith, Fani Willis, harassing civil suits funded by deep-pocketed Dems. The process is the punishment.’
Former Project Veritas, turned O’Keefe Media (OMG) boss, James O’Keefe, agreed.
He told Jenna Ellis in an August 17 episode of the Ellis Show:
‘The Democrats are indicting their political opponents for what appears to be ostensibly political reasons. Every man has his breaking point, and that’s what they want. They want to break you. That’s the whole point of the exercise. The process is the punishment.’
What’s the solution? He asked, then replied: ‘Just do the right thing, no matter what. Live not by lies, and keep going, because it sends the message to others, that they can survive this too.’

Naturally, failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was over the moon about the news.
As Newsweek reported, the ‘smug’ former First Lady laughed as she talked with Rachel Maddow.
Clinton’s appearance on the show was interrupted by the ‘breaking news’ of the fourth indictment, with Clinton saying, ‘Oh, I had no idea.’
Clinton called Trump a con-artist, accused him of threatening democracy, and claimed he ‘defrauded the United States of America, and the citizens of our nation’.
Jenna Ellis is one of the defendants named in the fourth attack on Trump.
The Trump administration constitutional lawyer, who is endorsing Ron DeSantis’ 2024 presidential bid faces two counts of conspiracy.
Trump’s Save America PAC is reportedly refusing to financially support Ellis. Support for Ellis from within the MAGA community declined sharply after she publicly backed the DeSantis campaign.
In response to the petty backlash, Ellis, a firm Christian, asserted, ‘Trump was my client, not my God.’
Her legal team is now appealing for support through GiveSendGo, citing her inability to fund her own fight against the left’s weaponisation of the law.
Our friend Jenna Ellis has been wrongly indicted in Georgia by the radical Democrat DA and doesn’t have the funds needed to vigorously defend herself. Please join me in helping her and use this link to give what you can. This is a sickening abomination.https://t.co/x34G9QSpvs
