Lawfare Violates Fifth Amendment Procedural Due Process

We should not allow lawfare. Appellate court judges must stop it.

Everyone can be prosecuted for something, even children. The sole reason the entire population is not in prison is prosecutorial discretion to not prosecute an individual. The use of prosecution for political or monetary gain is unethical and violates the Fifth Amendment procedural due process  to a fair hearing.


According to businessmen in Russia, the state comes in, nit picks a paperwork or tax violation, and offers a plea deal to give 50% to the state, which is Vladimir Putin. In exchange, the owners do not go to rough Russian prison. People get the message and do not bother resisting. Putin is by far the richest man in the world, owning half of all Russian big businesses.


In the US, everyone with a job commits 3 felonies a day.

Here is one appellate point that should be made in the defense of Trump officials, such as Cohen and Manafort.


If Clinton were President, would this prosecution have taken place? If the answer is, no, the conviction is lawfare by the Democratic Party and by Deep State Republicans. It violates due process. It is unfair. It has a bad faith purpose, to revoke the election of 2016. Lawfare should not be allowed to in the US.


The other side does it too. Bill Clinton passed a tax increase on the rich. Their representatives, the Republicans, retaliated, impeached him on nit picking lawyer gotchas. The real reason was not sex in the Oval Office, or lying in a deposition. Everyone can be found to violate a trivial law. It was the tax increase. The toxic result? Clinton spent 100's of hours on his own defense, instead of on Al Qaeda, after its 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. The Bill Clinton impeachment was a factor in 9/11, a preventable catastrophe.
