It was always bullshit when Republicans complained of anti-Trump "lawfare" -- but now it might get real.

Core Democratic groups are preparing to be targeted by the Trump administration

NEW YORK -- As President Donald Trump pushes the historical boundaries of executive power, some of the Democratic Party's core political institutions are preparing for the possibility that the federal government may soon launch criminal investigations against them.

The Democrats' dominant national fundraising platform, ActBlue, and the party's largest protest group, Indivisible, are working with their attorneys for just such a scenario, according to officials within both organizations. Trump's top political allies have suggested both groups should face prosecution.

Other Democratic allies are planning for Trump-backed legal crackdowns as well. Wary of antagonizing the president, most prefer to stay anonymous for now.

“Every one of our clients is concerned about being arbitrarily targeted by the Trump administration. We are going to great lengths to help clients prepare for or defend themselves," said Ezra Reese, political law chair at Elias Law Group, which represents Democratic groups and candidates and is chaired by Marc Elias, the lawyer who has himself been a Trump target.

An FBI spokesperson declined to comment when asked about potential investigations into ActBlue and Indivisible. But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not downplay the threat of a potential criminal probe when asked specifically whether Trump wants the FBI, the Treasury Department or any other federal agency to investigate Democratic groups.
 
The Democrats are such fucking worthless candy ass pansies, fuck them!
 
Then why is Trump so afraid of them, as to take such drastic and un-American measures?
Trump is a dictator and he does what all dictators do. No one fears the democrats. They are feckless scum bags. Only Bernie and AOC are worth anything - the rest of them can all go to hell. They all need to be eliminated and replaced. Enough fucking Hilarys and fucking Kamalas.

In the massive turnouts for Sanders' and AOC's anti-oligarchy tour, we may well be seeing the start of a grassroots left-populist movement that will take over the Democratic Party like the Tea Party/Trumpers took over the GOP.

"Cry me a river...."
 
I imagine any lawyer or judge that upholds the law is an anti-dem lawyer
The law cannot be partial to one side, it cannot be anti-dem, or anti-republican. It is SUPPOSED to uphold the law and the constitution.

What the issue here is, when one politician commits crimes and basically gets away with it, calling it "Lawfare" when the courts try to hold him accountable for his crimes, this is a problem. When this same politician commits ACTUAL lawfare by persecuting people who have NOT committed any actual crimes, then what you have is basically lawlessness, rule by fiat, rule by the strong. This is not a healthy free democracy. This is a dictatorship.

America was not set up to be a dictatorship. And most Americans do not want it to be.
 
Now the FBI is investigating NY AG Leticia James for mortgage fraud.

You all know this is only happening because James is a political enemy of Trump. It was always bullshit when Pubs cried "Lawfare!" but now Trump is making it real.

Remember, the Roman Republic fell because the practice of using legal prosecutions against political enemies became normalized.
How cute for someone who committed actual mortgage fraud (and tax fraud) by mis-measuring the size of a New York apartment by half an acre and using pretend valuations. Then whined when his own valuations were quoted back at him.

"I know more about fraud than anyone else, maybe in the whole world."
