On April 21, The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article about the lawfare that the Democrat party is conducting against President Trump and other conservatives and conservative groups.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Manhattan<\/a>\u00a0District Attorney Alvin Bragg\u2019s transparently political prosecution of former\u00a0President Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0began last week, it is important to remember that the former president is not the only target of the\u00a0Democratic Party<\/a>\u2018s campaign to use government power to silence political dissent.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Left\u2019s efforts to intimidate conservative activists this month included Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) delivering a congressional subpoena to Federalist Society Co-Chairman Leonard Leo. It was voted on by the Senate Judiciary Committee last November without securing a single Republican vote. Durbin has not explained why the subpoena was not delivered for five months.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His attack on Leo comes as another elected Democrat, District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb, has also used his office to harass Leo. After a complaint filed by the dark money-funded Campaign for Accountability, Schwalb opened an investigation into Leo\u2019s management of two nonprofit organizations. The Campaign for Accountability alleged that Leo used his control of these to enrich his consulting firm by millions of dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abusing nonprofit status to enrich oneself is a serious matter. We are sure there are many Washington, D.C., nonprofit organizations that deserve such investigations. But Schwalb isn\u2019t investigating any of them. Nor is he investigating Ibram X. Kendi\u2019s Center for Antiracist Research after it blew through tens of millions of dollars in three years without producing anything of value.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One might point out that the Center for Antiracist Research is based in Boston and, therefore, out of Schwalb\u2019s jurisdiction. But so are the two nonprofit groups connected to Leo that Schwalb is investigating. One is in Virginia, and the other is in Texas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, there is a connection between the Campaign for Accountability and the Senate Democratic investigation of Leo: far-left megadonor Stephen Silberstein, who has\u00a0bankrolled<\/a>\u00a0Leo\u2019s main inquisitor in the Senate, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and the nonprofit organization leading the investigation against Leo, ProPublica. Silberstein has also\u00a0worked closely<\/a>\u00a0with the Campaign for Accountability.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Wealthy Democratic Party donors such as Silberstein are free to fund partisan nonprofit goons such as ProPublica to dig up dirt on political opponents. But when they corrupt elected Democratic officials to use the power of their offices to persecute those political opponents, they cross an ethical line. The Democratic Party must end its lawfare campaigns against Trump and Leo. It disgraces itself until it does so.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dirty campaigns are not a good thing, but misuse of our legal system should have dire consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
