The Most Investigated Man in History
The Most Investigated Man in History
By Todd Strandberg
Former President Donald J. Trump has to be the most investigated man in history. He was being investigated even before getting into office. The FBI planted moles into the Trump presidential campaign to find dirt on anyone. The FBI destroyed the lives of many people in the hopes they could be turned against Trump.
The Mueller investigation was triggered by the firing of FBI director James Comey. How can a President have someone working for him that tried to sabotage his campaign? The Mueller investigation was a huge waste of time and resources. Now it is ancient history because the left has moved on several times.
The American people should have expressed outrage when Congress conducted the second impeachment of Trump. The impeachment process was meant to be a very solemn procedure. The Democrats have turned it into a joke where a future presidential candidate can laugh off an impeachment, knowing he has enough members of his party to block his removal from office.
Since Donald J. Trump has been under constant investigation, I don’t see how he’d find time to do anything wrong. The left is demonically driven to keep looking for something new that is going to take Trump down. This is the behavior of a third-world nation, where the party in power persecutes its political enemies.
The number of inquiries, investigations, and lawsuits involving Trump is ridiculous overkill. Mobsters like Al Capone and John Gotti faced many changes in their lifetimes, but never six at one time:
— The FBI raided former President Donald J. Trump’s home in Florida, a step by the Justice Department in its apparent investigation into materials that were improperly taken by the former president, including classified documents, when he left office.
— In Washington, the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, has used eight public hearings to lay out a comprehensive narrative of Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The panel is promising more evidence and more hearings in the fall.
— In New York, Attorney General Letitia James has been conducting a civil investigation into Mr. Trump and his family business, the outcome of which could result in a lawsuit or fines. The investigation is trying to determine if the Trump Organization fraudulently inflated the value of Mr. Trump’s assets.
— The Trump Organization and its longtime Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg are awaiting trial on criminal charges in a 15-count indictment related to an alleged scheme to avoid taxes on compensation to the CFO and other executives since 2005. The defendants have pleaded not guilty.
— Trump has hired a prominent Atlanta lawyer to represent him in a criminal inquiry into election interference in Georgia. Trump is not a defendant, but that can change as a special grand jury is continuing to consider evidence and testimony, with several top Trump advisers still to appear. Ms. Fani T. Willis, the Atlanta-area district attorney, has said that she is weighing a number of potential criminal charges, including racketeering and conspiracy.
— Trump is scheduled to stand trial for a civil lawsuit in Manhattan federal court in February 2023 in a case where he is accused of defaming E. Jean Carroll in connection with her claim Trump raped her in the mid-1990s. Carroll quickly dropped off the radar because, in several interviews, she proved herself to be a lunatic. CNN had her on, and she wigged out Anderson Copper with weird personal questions; he quickly went to an emergency commercial. Her lawsuit has been allowed to advance because she is attacking Trump.
The Mar-a-Lago raid was completely unnecessary and damaging to our legal system. No former President of the United States has ever been subject to a raid of their personal residence in American history. People have lost sight of the danger of allowing the executive branch to go after a possible future candidate of the opposing party.
The government keeps track of all classified documents, and they should have simply asked for the return of missing documents. If they’ve been in Trump’s position for 20 months, they must not be that important. For years, presidents and attorney generals have taken home all types of classified material. Now we are going to suddenly play by the letter of the law a World War I act.
When Congress started the Jan. 6 investigation, they claimed it was just to uncover what happened that day. It quickly turned into the third impeachment of Donald Trump.
About half the country has lost faith in the system. Many people think that elections are rigged to favor one party. When it comes to President Trump, there are no rules. We are facing a future where each vote results in rioting, or we end up with a dictator who magically wins over 90% of the vote in each re-election.
