Disgraced former FBI director James Comey has been indicted for posting “86 47.” The DoJ has also opened an investigation of E. Jean Carroll for lying under oath about the financial backing for her lawsuit against Donald Trump. Has the DoJ implemented Rudy Giuliani’s “broken window” strategy, or is it something much bigger?

The radicals are reacting predictably. They’ve stopped screaming, “No one is above the law.” Now they’re behaving as though their anthill just got kicked. The lefties are howling that Trump is wasting federal resources on personal vendettas — while hoping we don’t remember Merrick Garland and Jack Smith.
In spite of their protestations, the investigations noted above are vitally important. A subversive conspiracy has been underway for over a decade, with the objective to undermine our constitutional right to choose our leadership. The Comey and Carroll infractions are just the tip of that iceberg.
The conspiracy began when Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015. An outsider could not be allowed to jeopardize the D.C. gravy train.
Deep State conspirators at the FBI and DoJ participated in the Russian collusion hoax. It was an attempt to derail the Trump juggernaut by surveilling his campaign and casting suspicion on him prior to the election. Trump was elected anyway.
After Trump’s first election, the conspirators attempted to overturn our electoral choice. They launched a special counsel investigation (engineered by James Comey) on a fraudulent predicate. Congress piled on with two impeachment attempts, based on nothing but rumors and innuendo. But The Donald barreled ahead.
When the pandemic hit in 2020, it opened a universe of tactical options for the conspirators. They managed to drag Joey “Softserve” (his brain, not his dessert choice) across the finish line with a combination of deception, propaganda, censorship, illegal election changes, and mail-in ballot shenanigans.
The left didn’t stop with stealing a presidency. The Donald was threatening to run again — so the conspiracy continued.
They tried to bankrupt Trump with civil lawsuits in New York City. E. Jean Carroll’s was financed by oligarch Reid Hoffman and enabled by a “just for Donald” change of the law by the Empire State’s Legislature. She won over $88 million. Now she’s under investigation for committing perjury during the legal proceedings.
N.Y. state attorney general Letitia James managed to win almost a half a billion bucks from Trump on a mortgage fraud charge — that had no victims. That judgement has been set aside by an appeals court, and now the “Big Tish” is under investigation for lying on her own mortgage application.
The left also tried to imprison Trump with criminal indictments in New York; Florida; Georgia; and Washington, D.C.
The prosecutor in the New York case convinced a judge and jury that an accounting disagreement could be turned into a felony. That case has been discharged by the judge (i.e., no penalty) and is currently being appealed.
The Florida case was for retention of classified documents and involved the first ever FBI raid of an ex-president’s home. That case has been dismissed by a federal judge, because the special counsel (Jack Smith) was never legally appointed.
The Georgia case, spearheaded by Fani Willis, actually got Trump in front of a camera for a mugshot — which he currently uses as his presidential portrait. Fanni claimed that Trump interfered with the election. The case has subsequently been dropped because there is nothing illegal about using legal processes to demand redress. Now Fanni is under investigation for her own improprieties.
In Washington, D.C., Jack Smith indicted Trump for election interference — for telling supporters to peacefully protest the certification of the election. That case has subsequently been dropped, and Jack Smith is being investigated for violation of the Hatch Act.

The radicals even tried to assassinate Donald Trump, three times, wounding him and killing an innocent man in the first attempt.
None of that prevented Donald Trump’s return to the Oval Office, because he didn’t give up on us, and we didn’t give up on him. For nine years, the left has struck at our president but failed to fell him. Now the left is being introduced to the consequences of its failure.
The left is outraged that Trump is seeking retribution. Duh! Retribution is a key component of the crime-punishment equation. The punishment must be severe enough to deter future crimes. That the left continues to attack our right of self-governance proves that the punishment has not reached adequate severity — yet.
The left insists that the DoJ is not Donald Trump’s tool to use against his enemies. We know that — Merrick Garland isn’t the attorney general anymore. The Trump DoJ is actually going after our enemies — those who attacked our constitutional republic. The left attacked our institutions of law and order and must be held accountable — or there will be no law or order.
When a law enforcement officer is attacked, the system reacts far more energetically than it would for other assaults. That’s because an attack on a police officer is an attack on the institution we have commissioned to maintain social order.
When an ICE agent was struck in Washington, D.C., it wasn’t one guy hitting another guy with a sub sandwich. It was a citizen giving “we the people” the finger by attacking our agent.
When E. Jean Carroll sued Donald Trump, it wasn’t a ditz with a bad memory trying to get a windfall from a billionaire with a big mouth. It was part of a planned conspiracy to undermine our right to choose our leadership.
When James Comey posted “86 47,” it wasn’t an innocent photo of sea shells. It was a threat against our president, using the same symbolism violent protestors are using to call for his murder. The fact that there have already been numerous attempts against on the president’s life makes Comey’s posting all the more egregious.
Rudy Giuliani used the “broken window” strategy to clean up the mess that the Dems had made of New York City. He punished delinquents for misdemeanors to deter them from becoming felons. It worked.
Is the DoJ using Giuliani’s strategy in its pursuit of Comey and Carroll, or are they just pieces of a much bigger strategy?
As silly as James Comey’s posting was, it was an illegal implied threat against a president. Carroll’s alleged perjury was an illegal undermining of our justice system. Both acts had a shared objective of preventing Trump from being our president. That makes both offenses something far more important — recent acts of an ongoing conspiracy. As such, Comey and Carroll have reset the statute of limitations for all acts of the conspiracy that came before them.
Now the conspirators are faced with the necessary consequences of their actions — without a statute of limitations shield. James Comey, John Brennen, James Clapper, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and numerous others must be held to account for the crime-punishment ledger to balance. Their combined offenses undermined our right to free and fair (i.e., honestly informed) elections, and all should be treated as such.
Perhaps prosecution of the Comey and Carroll “window breakers” will lead to the eventual downfall of the traitorous conspirators.
